Description

The Comics Magazine #1 (Comics Magazine, 1936) CGC Qualified VF 8.0 Off-white pages. Although Qualified, this is the highest grade we have ever seen (and we've only seen a single digit number of copies in our 22 years) for this unusually rare comic, redubbed Funny Pages with its sixth issue. The issue features the first appearance of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster's Dr. Mystic, who would later re-emerge at DC Comics as Dr. Occult. Art by Sheldon Mayer and even Walt Kelly also appears inside, packed behind a comical baseball-themed cover (on paper stock) by Vince Sullivan. Listed as "scarce" by the Photo-Journal Guide to Comic Books, this is a true piece of early comics history! CGC notes, "One-fifth of Page 26 missing. Christine Farrell Complete DC Collection." Overstreet 2024 GD 2.0 value = $4,325; VG 4.0 value = $8,650; FN 6.0 value = $12,975; VF 8.0 value = $26,000.
From the Christine Farrell Complete DC Collection.
