Description
Master Comics #1 (Fawcett, 1940) Condition: Apparent FN. This oversized comic made history by almost causing a lawsuit! DC thought that Master Man, the title character, was a little too similar to their hero Superman, and once they threatened to sue, Fawcett withdrew the character after six issues. The series had a 133-issue run, though it soon adopted a standard-size format. This first issue is a 52-pager measuring 10.5" by 14". This copy has a small tear seal on the back cover and most interior pages. Staples are rusted. Overstreet 2006 GD 2.0 value = $776; VG 4.0 value = $1,552; FN 6.0 value = $2,328.From the John McLaughlin Collection.More information about Master Comics, and Master Comics #1 Comic Title.
