Description
Sensation Comics #1 Crowley Copy pedigree (DC, 1942) CGC VF+ 8.5 Off-white to white pages. The second appearance of Wonder Woman, this key book is listed among the 30 most valuable comics by Overstreet, and to date only two copies have been CGC-certified with higher grades than this one! This copy is from the collection of Wendell Crowley, an editor at rival publisher Fawcett who was by all accounts a devoted fan of comics as well. Wonder Woman got the starring role in this first issue close on the heels of her first appearance in All-Star Comics #8. Also making their debuts were two other DC heroes of note, neither of whom had super powers, but both of whom were handy with their fists: Mr. Terrific and Wildcat. H. G. Peter drew the Wonder Woman story; the issue's other artists include Sheldon Moldoff, Irwin Hasen, and Howard Purcell. We should also note that murmurs of a Wonder Woman movie mention a 2006 release date, which means now might be the time to start securing the heroine's key comic book appearances. Overstreet 2005 VF 8.0 value = $19,400; VF/NM 9.0 value = $31,700. CGC census 5/05: 3 in 8.5, 2 higher.View the certification for CGC Certification ID 0010527005, including grader's notes if available and a link to the latest full census report for the issue.*
