Description
The Human Torch #2 (#1) (Timely, 1940) CGC VF+ 8.5 Off-white pages. Only four copies of this key Timely have been graded higher to date! This is a very impressive VF+ copy of one of the 20 most valuable comic books ever made! This copy will make its future owner very proud -- on first glance at the slab you might mistake this for a recent reprint, because the cover colors are so fresh! The hard-core Timely collector simply can't do without this key as it's the first appearance of the Torch's sidekick Toro. The fact that it's got a cover by Timely's top ace in that department, Alex Schomburg, only solidifies the desirability of the high-grade Golden Age book. Overstreet 2013 VF 8.0 value = $21,000; VF/NM 9.0 value = $44,000. CGC census 1/14: 1 in 8.5, 6 higher.CGC Grader Notes:
