Description
Master Comics #1 (Fawcett, 1940) Condition: FN-. Any comic that almost provoked a lawsuit is fascinating stuff in our book, and this is a tough-to-find issue at that! And finding it in decent grade is even tougher - it's oversized, measuring 10.5" by 14", and that made it difficult to store and thus to preserve in nice condition. This was just the second Fawcett series after Whiz Comics, and it offered 52 pages of action for 15 cents. If the cover character, Master Man, seems a bit similar to Superman, well, DC thought the exact same thing - they threatened to sue, and Fawcett pulled the plug on Master Man after only six issues, though this series did endure for 133 issues after converting to normal size. Note that this copy has 7-inch tears on two interior pages which have been repaired with tape, and there is also a piece of tape on the inside of the spine. Overstreet 2006 FN 6.0 value = $2,328.More information about Master Comics, and Master Comics #1 Comic Title.
