All Winners Comics #1 (Timely, 1941) CGC NM- 9.2 Cream to off-white pages. One of the most desirable Timelys, this issue currently ranks #33 on Overstreet's "Top 100 Golden Age Books" list, and it's easy to see why. Alex Schomburg offers the bright, superhero-licious cover, then stands aside as classic artists do classic characters: Jack Kirby on Captain America, Bill Everett on the Sub-Mariner, Carl Burgos on the Human Torch, Paul Gustavson on the Angel, and Al Avison on the Black Marvel. To round out the superlative features, a fuzz-faced, nineteen-year-old Stan Lee introduced the All Winners Squad in a text story.

Red Raven Comics #1 (Timely, 1940) CGC VF/NM 9.0 Off-white pages. Chronologically this title was preceded only by Marvel Comics among Timely's Golden Age titles. It predates Captain America Comics, Sub-Mariner Comics, and Human Torch Comics; in fact, the series became the latter title after only one issue as Red Raven. Perhaps more importantly, this issue featured Jack Kirby's first signed work: the daring, innovative cover. Grossly undervalued when compared to the other Timely premiere issues of the day, the book is also rated "scarce" by Gerber's The Photo-Journal Guide to Comic Books. Need more? How about the highest-graded unrestored copy yet certified by CGC, far ahead of the second place contestant which could garner only FN+ 6.5 credentials. This is one of the most compelling comic book offerings of our sale. Overstreet 2003 VF/NM 9.0 value = $11,250; NM 9.4 value = $15,000.

Captain America Comics #1 (Timely, 1941) CGC Apparent VF- 7.5 Slight (P) Cream to off-white pages. He wasn't the first patriotic superhero in comic books, but Cap is the one we think of first when the subject comes up. Jack "King" Kirby's legacy would have been assured even if Cap were the only character he ever created. The classic team of Joe Simon and Jack Kirby handled the interior art, but two renowned sources, Overstreet and Gerber, differ in identifying the cover artist or artists. Overstreet suggests Joe Simon did the classic Hitler cover, while Gerber's The Photo-Journal Guide to Comic Books lists the combo of Jack Kirby pencils and Syd Shores inks. One of the most important comic books of all, not only introduced Captain America to comicdom, it also featured the first appearances of Cap's long-time sidekick, Bucky, and his long-time arch-nemesis, the Red Skull. Overstreet 2003 GD 2.0 value = $6,767; VG 4.0 value = $13,534; FN 6.0 value = $20,300; VF 8.0 value = $40,060.

Amazing Fantasy #15 (Marvel, 1962) CGC FN/VF 7.0 Off-white pages. It's ranked #1 in value among all Silver Age books, this presentation of Spider-Man's origin and first appearance. It hasn't always been thus. For years Showcase #4, now regarded as the book that launched the Silver Age, was ranked #1. Marvel's first serious foray came with Fantastic Four, but the first issue of that run has been overtaken and left in the wake of Amazing Fantasy #15. Like nearly all of Marvel's "premiere" books of the early 1960s, Jack Kirby had a hand in this one, penciling the iconic cover. But this was Steve Ditko's show. Sturdy Steve inked Kirby's cover pencils here and on the subsequent Amazing Spider-Man #1 before taking over the cover art duties himself. Steve Ditko did nearly all the interior art for the first three formative years of the title. This copy appears to have been conservatively graded at first review, but does display some minor wear at the bottom of the spine and lower left corner of the front cover. All in all, a very nice copy of the most valued of Silver Age books. Overstreet 2003 FN 6.0 value = $3,789; VF 8.0 value = $14,000.

Captain America Comics #8 (Timely, 1941) CGC NM- 9.2 Off-white pages. Joe Simon and Jack Kirby were responsible for a lot of great comics during the early Golden Age, but Captain America will always be remembered as their best work. This great issue sports a wild cover, featuring Cap battling Nazis and living mummys! The condition of this copy is amazing, considering how seldom it turns up in a grade this high. In fact, the current CGC census shows nothing higher than VF+, and that copy has been restored. This totally unrestored copy may well be the best one we'll ever see.

Alex Schomburg's stirring cover, known universally in comicdom as "the Holocaust cover", is all the more horrific because of its historically-based theme. This issue is one of the most sought-after of all Golden Agers, not just of this supremely popular title. Other features include a Human Torch story, and interior art by a young artist named Carmine Infantino. Collectors rush to snap up even low grade copies of issue #46, and our offering is the very finest copy CGC has certified, to date.

The Incredible Hulk #1 (Marvel, 1962) CGC VF- 7.5 Off-white to white pages. Ol' Greyskin (soon to be Ol' Greenskin, starting with issue #2) debuts in this, the second title of the new Marvel Age of Comics, fast on the heels of the Fantastic Four. Penned by Stan Lee and pencilled by Jack Kirby, this "incredible" book lasted a mere six issues before the Hulkster was cancelled, eventually finding himself in Tales to Astonish for a lengthy run. Man or monster... or is he both? It all started here. The Incredible Hulk #1 is traditionally one of the toughest Marvel keys to find in high-grade, which makes this gorgeous Very Fine minus copy a rare find. While it displays some minor edge wear, this copy retains a stunningly fresh appearance, the deep-blue background as pure as the day it was printed. While this book is notorious for Marvel chipping, it is noticeably absent on this issue. Bid now, or Hulk smash! Overstreet 2003 VF 8.0 value = $6,950.

U.S.A. Comics #1 Larson pedigree (Timely, 1941) CGC VF/NM 9.0 Off-white to white pages. If we had to pick an early Timely #1 issue that seems undervalued, this might be the one. The wartime run, from 1941-1945, featured some great patriotic superheroes, including Captain America himself, after issue #5. Classic Joe Simon and Jack Kirby art adorns the cover, as Nazis are depicted in the vilest way. Origins abound in the issue; for instance, Major Liberty, Rockman by Wolverton, and the Whizzer by Avison. The Defender with sidekick Rusty, Jack Frost, and the Young Avenger also weigh in. To date, this pedigree copy ties for the honor of having the highest CGC-assigned grade for issue #1. Breathtaking cover colors make this as pretty a book as it is historically significant. CGC notes, "Very minor amount of glue on spine of cover." Overstreet 2003 VF/NM 9.0 value = $12,375; NM 9.4 value = $16,500.

Fantastic Four #5 (Marvel, 1962) CGC VF+ 8.5 Off-white pages. With the exception of their first appearance and origin, the introduction of Doctor Doom is probably the single most important event to happen in the annals of the Fantastic Four. Victor Von Doom has been Reed Richard's arch nemesis for far more battles than either of them should have survived, but the development of Reed's character would have suffered if not for the influence of Doom. This classic issue is suitably presented in this high-grade copy that suffers from insignificant edge wear that does little to detract from the overall beauty of the book. Overstreet 2003 VF 8.0 value = $2,232; VF/NM 9.0 value = $3,416.

All Select Comics #2 (Timely, 1943) CGC VF 8.0 Off-white pages. World War II-era Timelys had some of the greatest action-packed covers in comics, and this is one by the master, Alex Schomburg. Just try to count all the many figures on this cover, not to mention the trucks, tanks, and planes! There's plenty going on inside the covers as well, including a Red Skull appearance. And of course, there's Captain America, the Human Torch, and Sub-Mariner here to help win the war and save the day. This very attractive copy has been nicely preserved through the years; its single staple (a victim of wartime rationing) shows very little stress, and the cover is flat, clean, and bright. CGC notes only one copy to receive a higher grade, to date, making this one of the best copies in existence. Overstreet 2003 VF 8.0 value = $2,250.

The Human Torch # 2 (#1) (Timely, 1940) CGC VG 4.0 Cream to off-white pages. A blazing Torch and a fiery Toro seem to be bursting out of this impressive Alex Schomburg cover. Alas, the Sub-Mariner, in his task of destroying a Nazi sub, almost gets lost in the duo's fiery halo. Legendary artists Carl Burgos and Bill Everett, having introduced the Human Torch and the Sub-Mariner a few months earlier in Marvel Comics #1, bring these two favorite sons of the House of Timely to this title. This issue, while listed as #2 in the indicia, is the premiere issue of this title, following the one-shot Red Raven #1. Furthermore, this issue contains the first appearance and origin of Toro, as well as re-telling of the Torch's and Sub-Mariner's origin in a text story. Among fellow Timely titles, only the first issues of Marvel Comics and Captain America Comics are higher-valued. Overstreet 2003 VG 4.0 value = $5,334.

Marvel Mystery Comics #10 (Timely, 1940) CGC FN/VF 7.0 Cream to off-white pages. Alex Schomburg's brilliant cover has the Sub-Mariner destroying a sizable contingency of Nazi forces. Inside, the Human Torch and Subby are still fighting, and Terry Vance, Boy Detective, begins in this issue. Not quite Very Fine, this copy does display cover colors that would be at home on a higher-graded copy. Still, only two other unrestored copies of #10 have earned a higher grade, and at VF 8.0. They barely edged out our offering for the number one spot in CGC's census. Overstreet 2003 FN 6.0 value = $2,001; VF 8.0 value = $4,500.
