Description
More Fun Comics #52 (DC, 1940) CGC Apparent VF+ 8.5 Slight (P) Off-white pages. One of the ten most valuable comic books of all is this key issue, and this book is among the toughest to find in any sort of decent grade. So feast your eyes on this super-sharp copy! The book has the origin and first appearance of the Spectre - comics historian Ron Goulart drolly noted that it was "one of the relatively few (features) in which the hero began his career by dying." The story was drawn by Bernard Baily and written by Superman's co-creator Jerry Siegel. Further distinguishing this first issue is the fact that this was the only appearance of the blue-grey Spectre, who adapted his signature green and grey garb thereafter. CGC notes, "Restoration includes: small spine split sealed, staples reinforced, cleaned."
