Description

Detective Comics #18 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1938) CGC VF- 7.5 White pages. The cover is a classic in most anyone's book. Creig Flessel is the artist, Fu Manchu the character. Unrestored copies of this issue are tough to come by, and this is the highest-graded one we've ever sold.
Batman was nine months away and Superman had been in just three comics when this issue hit the stands. Fu Manchu was actually the star of a feature at this time, and the lineup of good guys included the likes of Slam Bradley (two-fisted sleuth), Speed Saunders (plainclothes cop), Buck Marshall (range-ridin' detective), Bart Regan (spy), and Cosmo ("the phantom of disguise"). A real gem among early DCs. Overstreet 2012 VF 8.0 value = $7,425. CGC census 11/12: 2 in 7.5, 2 higher.
