Weird Comics #1 Mile High pedigree (Fox, 1940) CGC VF/NM 9.0 White pages. Most of these early Fox books are uncommon, and just don't turn up in this grade. Almost never, that is! The second-nicest copy that CGC has seen to date was graded significantly lower than our offering, at "6.5". Lou Fine's bondage cover would be desirable in just about any grade, but this copy is truly one-of-a-kind remarkable. Voodoo Man, Thor, Birdman, Dr. Mortal, and Typhoon begin in this issue. Overstreet 2002 NM 9.4 value = $5,700.

Catman Comics #1 (Continental, 1941) CGC NM 9.4 Off-white pages. Cat Man is one of the harder to find titles of the Golden Age. Even when you can find them they tend to be low grade, brown, brittle etc. It would almost seem near impossible for any of this title to have survived in high grade...but get a gander at this. This issue has an action-packed cover by Charles Quinlan who had a style unlike any other. This issue, other than Cat-Man, features the Deacon, Dr. Diamond & Ragman, the Black Widow and Blaze Baylor. This bright issue is the highest graded and it is highly unlikely that there will be another to dethrone it. Overstreet 2002 NM 9.4 value =4200.

Plastic Man #2 Mile High pedigree (Quality, 1944) CGC NM+ 9.6 Off-white pages. After first appearing in Police Comics in 1941, the rubbery super-hero got his own title in 1943. This second issue came about six months later. Jack Cole's cover and interior art brought just the right touches of, as this cover promises, "thrills, chills, and laffs" to the character, propelling the title to a run of over 14 years. The colorful cover is all the more stunning from the white background, appearing snow-blindingly fresh on this famed pedigree copy. CGC's census places this above all other issues #2 certified to date. Overstreet 2002 NM 9.4 value = $1,850.

Doc Savage Comics #2 Mile High pedigree (Street & Smith, 1940) CGC NM+ 9.6 Off-white to white.

All-Negro Comics #1 (All-Negro Comics, 1947) CGC GD+ 2.5 Cream to off-white pages. In coins, stamp and pretty much every other areas of collectibles the rarity factor rules the roost. That is not the case in comics... yet. Some day in the near future comic collectors will realize that there are not enough of certain issues to go around and prices will skyrocket accordingly. Get the jump on the trend with this book. This book is actually listed in The Photo-Journal Guide to Comic Books as being a "9" on the Gerber scarcity index. What that means is that Ernie Gerber estimated less than ten copies of this issue actually survived the ravages of time. The nature of the book itself lends to the fact that it was probably scarce from the moment it hit the stands. It is directed at a small portion of the population and the cover price, 15 cents, was a nickel more than the other titles on the stands. It is also listed as rare in The Overstreet Price Guide. Most known copies have brown pages so this already has an advantage over the others, having cream to off-white pages. This title is rarely found in better than FN condition but this clean copy is actually very nice for the grade assigned. Not too many collectors can boast owning a copy of this book so here is your chance to add your name to that select few. Overstreet 2002 GD 2.0 value = $625.

Mystery Men Comics #1 Windy City pedigree (Fox, 1939) CGC FN+ 6.5 Light tan to off-white pages. Rex Dexter of Mars comes through the window to rescue the damsel in distress from the psychotic doctor in this dramatic Lou Fine cover. It is hard to overstate the importance of this book containing, as it does, the first appearance of the popular Fox characters: Blue Beetle, Green Mask, and Rex Dexter of Mars. Additionally, the artistry of Lou Fine has been the inspiration for numerous comic artists from Murphy Anderson to Gil Kane, because of Fine's mastery of both line and form along with his unearthly understanding of human anatomy. All these are evident in the contorted facial muscles of the fiendish doctor, his unholy grip on the knife, and the dramatic folds in his shirt. Truly a book that you can appreciate for the aesthetics as well as importance. This Windy City comic has bright colors. According to the CGC census, this is the highest graded certified copy.

Blue Beetle #57 Mile High pedigree (Fox Features Syndicate, 1948) CGC NM- 9.2 Off-white pages. One of only three copies of the issue to be certified to date by CGC, this one blows away the second-nicest copy by more than a full grade. The Blue Beetle barely appears on the cover of his own titled book, letting the headlighted woman with the red dress on sell the mag. The beautifully simple cover scheme is starkly stunning on the Mile High copy. Inside, Jack Kamen works his magic for the last time on this title, it would never again be the same. Overstreet 2002 NM 9.4 value = $850.

Century of Comics #1 (Eastern Color, 1933) CGC G+ 2.5 Cream to Off-white pages. You can't go too much farther back than this. This is a great book from the dawn of the comic book as we know it today. Can you imagine the excitement some kid felt when he received what was essentially weeks and weeks worth of his favorite funny pages all rolled up in one? The winner will be just as thrilled when they receive this one. It looks so much nicer than the given grade. The cover is bright and unblemished. The red and yellow on the cover can not look much different than it did when this book was new 70 years ago. There are two pieces of tape on the interior cover at the staples which account for the drop in grade. You can get a beautiful looking book from the genesis of comics for the right price with this one. This book is also of interest to the collectors of giveaway books. Overstreet 2002 GD 2.0 value = $3670.

Tomb of Terror #15 File Copy (Harvey, 1954) CGC NM- 9.2 Cream to off-white pages. This is one of the classic horror covers from Harvey's contribution to the genre. Note the absolute terror-stricken expression of the girl as she witnesses the face exploding in front of her. A truly grisly cover with flying teeth, bits of flesh and an eyeball about to be launched from its socket. There are few, if any, covers that can match the shear ferociousness of this Tomb Of Terror #15. This is the pinnacle copy to own, as it is the highest-graded copy by CGC to date. Overstreet 2002 NM 9.4 value = $500.

Military Comics #20 Mile High pedigree (Quality, 1943) CGC NM- 9.2 White pages. Reed Crandall, one of several excellent artists who took a turn interpreting the super-team, created the cover here and also worked on interior story art. This is a most impressive copy, missing being the highest-graded among issues #20 yet certified by CGC by a quarter-grade. The book is practically flawless, save for a narrow dust shadow along the front right edge. You did notice it's the Mile High copy, didn't you? Overstreet 2002 NM 9.4 value = $800.

Planet Comics #30 Crowley pedigree (Fiction House, 1944) CGC NM 9.4 Off-white to white pages. As great as the early Zolnerowich covers were on this title, Joe Doolin took up the gauntlet with issue #26 and proceeded to embellish the science fiction themes with peerless "good girl" art for several years, while continuing to draw mean aliens and backgrounds just chock-full of action. It's all here in a mesmerizing copy that currently enjoys the status of being the nicest copy of issue #30 that CGC has certified. Overstreet 2002 NM 9.4 value = $1,125.
