Description
Detective Eye #1 (Centaur, 1940) CGC FN+ 6.5 White pages. Hawkman wasn't the only winged hero of the comics, as you can see on the cover of this rather obscure title from Centaur Publications. His name was Air Man, and his secret identity was Drake Stevens, the son of a famous ornithologist who had been murdered at sea. Not unlike a certain young orphan who took his cue from a bat, Drake was a whiz-kid scientist who devised all his crime-fighting tools, including his gas-filled albatross wings! He and the title character, the Eye had previously been seen in another Centaur title, Keen Detective Funnies, before their brief two-issue run here. This copy has some light spots of discoloration around the upper half of the cover, but otherwise seems to be solid and tight, with great page quality. This issue is considered "uncommon" by Gerber, and CGC lists only eight copies in their current census report. Overstreet 2003 FN 6.0 value = $666.CGC Grader Notes:
Front Cover Stain
Right Bottom Front Cover Lite Crease
