Description
More Fun Comics #53 Rockford pedigree (DC, 1940) CGC NM+ 9.6 Cream to off-white pages. Nearly five years after DC's first comic book title, originally called New Fun Comics, was launched, its most enduring character, the Spectre, was brought to life. This is a breathtaking copy of one of the greatest Golden Age comic books of all, featuring Part II of the origin of the Spectre. Bernard Baily's cover is etched into most serious collectors' minds, but until you see this pedigree copy, you probably had no idea this rare issue could look so fresh. The Photo-Journal Guide to Comic Books rates it an "8" ("scarce"), and CGC has certified only four copies to date; one GD- 1.8, one VF 8.0, and, remarkably, two at this impressive grade. Baily and Bob Kane art are featured in the interior. Overstreet 2005 NM- 9.2 value = $46,000. CGC census 6/05: 2 in 9.6, none higher.View the certification for CGC Certification ID 0044492001, including grader's notes if available and a link to the latest full census report for the issue.*
