Description
Marvel Mystery Comics #2 Larson pedigree (Timely, 1939) CGC VF/NM 9.0 Off-white to white pages. The second issue of the series that started it all for Timely/Atlas/Marvel is "rare" according to Overstreet, scarcer than the more famous Marvel Comics #1. Its scarcity is illustrated by the fact that over the years we've offered unrestored copies of Marvel Comics #1 on more than twice as many occasions as this issue. And what a copy this pedigree specimen is! It's tied with one other with the highest grade yet certified by CGC, and up close it makes an argument for an even higher grading. Carl Burgos, Bill Everett, and Paul Gustavson render the superheroes with whom they're most often associated: Human Torch, Sub-Mariner, and Angel respectively. Claire Moe provided the great cover. Overstreet 2009 VF/NM 9.0 value = $41,250; NM- 9.2 value = $60,000. CGC census 7/09: 3 in 9.0, none higher.CGC Grader Notes:
Spine Lite Stress Lines
Staple Lite Multiple Rusted
Whole Book Moderate Foxing
