Description
Spy Smasher #1 (Fawcett, 1941) CGC VF+ 8.5 Cream to off-white pages. This silver metallic cover must have thrilled kids who saw it on the stands in 1941, and we're thrilled as can be to see the highest-graded copy of the book in 2009! The character had been appearing in Whiz Comics where, Ron Goulart notes, "after Captain Marvel, he was the most popular and successful character in the magazine." Soon he starred in a movie serial (with the cover art of this comic used for ads, and adapted for the six-sheet poster), and reportedly some first-run movie houses that never showed serials broke their policy for Spy Smasher. Overstreet 2009 VF 8.0 value = $2,126; VF/NM 9.0 value = $3,763. CGC census 4/09: 1 in 8.5, none higher. From the Chicorel Collection.CGC Grader Notes:
