Description
Dell Giant Comics Peter Pan Treasure Chest #1 (Dell, 1953) CGC VF+ 8.5 Off-white pages. This 212-page whopper is the thickest Dell Giant and the one with the highest Guide value. It had all sorts of pages meant to be cut out, colored, etc... not something conducive to copies surviving intact. It's also probably the toughest Dell Giant to find, no surprise since the cover price of 50 cents was equivalent to five regular comics... or two regular Dell Giants! As William Howard noted, "I've never seen a true very fine copy. I'd pay just to hold a near mint copy for a couple of minutes... most [copies] are terribly beaten up with brown to brittle pages." This is certainly the best copy we've ever offered. Overstreet 2009 VF 8.0 value = $960; VF/NM 9.0 value = $1,680. CGC census 10/09: 1 in 8.5, none higher.CGC Grader Notes:
Bottom Front Cover Lite Stain
