Description
New Book of Comics #2 (DC, 1938) CGC VG- 3.5 Light tan to off-white pages. This early DC annual is a Gerber "8," and the first copy of the issue we've seen in quite a while. It's amazing how heavy the slab is -- back in '38, kids got a ton of content for the price of one thin dime! The insides reprint More Fun Comics #15 and 16, which among many other features included some Dr. Occult stories by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster in which the character wore a superhero costume, leading to the designation of these stories as a "Superman prototype." Siegel and Shuster also wrote and drew the "Calling All Cars" feature, which continued for many an issue of More Fun under the name Radio Squad. CGC notes, "Large piece out on 36th and 37th page, affects story." Overstreet 2005 VG 4.0 value = $2,000. CGC census 11/05: 1 in 3.5, 6 higher.CGC Grader Notes:
