Description

The Human Torch #2 (#1) (Timely, 1940) CGC VF 8.0 Cream to off-white pages. Only two copies of this key Timely have been graded higher to date! And yes, one of them is in this very auction, but unless you answer to "Mr. Warbucks," "Mr. McDuck," or "Your Majesty," the probable price for that other one may well give you pause. So let us direct your attention to this 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, the cover colors are that fresh! The ambitious Timely collector simply can't do without this key, 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 book. CGC notes, "Very small amount of glue on cover and centerfold." Overstreet 2005 VF 8.0 value = $21,600. CGC census 12/05: 3 in 8.0, 2 higher.
