Description
Marvel Comics #1 (Timely, 1939) CGC Apparent FN+ 6.5 Extensive (P) Cream to off-white pages. More often found with restoration than without these days, this book is a must-have in any grade, and this lot is a very solid copy with strong eye appeal. The first Timely comic and thus the first Marvel, it has the first appearances of the Human Torch, Ka-Zar, and the Angel, and the first newsstand appearance of the Sub-Mariner. The cover is by Frank R. Paul.While this book ceded the title of "most valuable comic" to Action #1, it's still the number one book for Marvel fans, and since Marvel's still the most popular comic line around, that's lofty status indeed.
Overstreet 2008 GD 2.0 value = $22,000; VG 4.0 value = $44,000; FN 6.0 value = $66,000.
