Wow Comics #1 Mile High pedigree (Fawcett, 1940) CGC NM 9.4 Off-white to white pages. Wow started off as an anthology full of original characters, including Mr. Scarlet by Simon and Kirby. Due to the fragile paper this cover was printed on, it rarely turns up in high grade. Of course, this Mile High copy is practically perfect! This book is truly something to behold, appearing as new as any magazine on the newsstand today. The CGC label notes a very minor amount of glue on the spine, most likely applied to the corner to secure a bindery tear, but it was tiny enough that CGC still put it in a blue holder. A phenomenal book that might just be the best existing copy on the planet. Overstreet 2002 NM 9.4 value = $17,000.

WonderWorld Comics #3 (Fox, 1939) CGC NM 9.4 Off-white to white pages. A true classic from the 1940s, featuring the first appearance of the Flame by Lou Fine. This is the first issue featuring the new title, WonderWorld; for its first two issues, the book was called Wonder Comics, and was Victor Fox's first foray into the field. The title was changed after Fox faced a lawsuit with DC over his character Wonder Man. The ultra-talented Iger/Eisner shop put together many of Fox's early books, creating some of the finest covers of the Golden Age. This book is near perfect, unheard of in this grade. A blue-chip piece that certainly ranks among the best existing copies, and will always remain a favorite among collectors. Overstreet 2002 NM 9.4 value = $8,200.

The Gaines File Copies are known for their quality, but this one outshines most of the others. Not only is this book totally free from wear, it is free from printing defects as well.

Startling Comics #1 (Better Publications, 1940) CGC NM- 9.2 White pages. As of this writing, this is far and away the best copy of Startling Comics #1 seen by CGC. One look at this book and you will know it is special; essentially, a small stain on the right side of the front cover is the only defect keeping this copy from being a straight-up NM. A very faint sun shadow and small bindery chip at the base of the spine on the back cover (a result of the printing process) are the only other flaws to note on this exquisite copy. It features the origin of Captain Future, the first appearance of the Masked Rider, and a drug use story. Two of the industry giants, Will Eisner and Lou Fine, worked on this important early Nedor key. Overstreet 2002 NM 9.4 value = $2,700.

An excellent representation of the Golden Age patriotic comic, this issue features the origin of the Flag, merely a few months after Captain America arrived on the scene. Jim Mooney's brightly-colored cover is rife with havoc being wreaked upon the bad-guy Nazi forces. By far the nicest book of this issue that CGC has graded to date, it has a tight spine, sharp corners, and is super-clean. And if that's not enough, it's also a Mile High copy. Overstreet 2002 NM 9.4 value = $1,275.

Minute Man #2 Mile High pedigree (Fawcett, 1941) CGC VF+ 8.5 Off-white to white pages. A small scrape in the lower left corner of the front cover is the only thing keeping this beautiful book out of the NM range. Otherwise, the colors are deep and rich, pages are supple, corners are sharp, and the book has a nice cut. There are no finger dents or thumbprints to indicate that this book has ever been read. The Mongol invasion of New York cover is definitely a WWII-era classic. Overstreet 2002 VF 8.0 value = $713; NM 9.4 value = $1,250.

Sold For: $3,450.00
Wow Comics #2 Larson pedigree (Fawcett, 1940) CGC VF/NM 9.0 Off-white pages. Part of the allure of this collection comes from Lamont Larson's written name on the cover. The codes, check marks, and stamps associated with most other pedigrees are interesting, but there's just something more personal about seeing "Lamont" or "Larson", especially since Jon Berk recently tracked him down, and we now have a face to go with the name. As with many of his books, this copy has foxing, along with slight discoloration around the staples. Early Wows rank among the scarcest Fawcetts printed, and high grades like this are not seen often. Overstreet 2002 NM 9.4 value = $2,600.

Cole's ouvre, especially his over-the-top, highly surreal work on this title, has been the subject of both critical and popular appreciation lately, with an article by Art "Maus" Spiegleman in The New Yorker and a critically acclaimed biography. One of the greatest and most influential creators in the history of comics, Cole was a true visionary who tragically took his own life in 1958. Fortunately, Plastic Man and his other creations live on for future generations. Overstreet 2002 NM 9.4 value = $925.

Graham Ingels liked to sign his work from this time period "Ghastly" and this cover really lives up to that name. The Gaines File Copies have proven to be more and more popular, and are a popular way to acquire high-grade copies of most of the EC titles.

Prize Comics #20 Mile High pedigree (Feature, 1942) CGC NM 9.4 Off-white pages.

Europe was on fire, Americans lined up to lend a hand, and no one can dispute that the comics did their part to stir the American spirit and capture the imaginations of children and adults alike.
