Richie Rich #1 File Copy (Harvey, 1960) CGC NM+ 9.6 Cream to off-white pages. If you're a Harvey collector, bookmark this page, because you're looking at the only 9.6, and highest-graded copy overall, that CGC has certified of this issue to date. It could be said that this issue started the whole Richie Rich phenomenon -- while the Poor Little Rich Boy had been a backup feature in every issue of Little Dot, and had two Harvey Hits tryout issues devoted to him, this series proved that he could carry his own book, and of course it wasn't too long before he was starring in many titles simultaneously, becoming one of the best-known characters in comics. Warren Kremer provided the visuals for this early outing (with Richie being waited on by Hawkins, this was before Cadbury took over as butler!). As with all Harveys, finding this in high grade is a tall order, and even a Fine copy would be a four-figure book. This lot presents an opportunity to own something nobody else has! Overstreet 2006 NM- 9.2 value = $3,200. CGC census 4/06: 1 in 9.6, none higher.

Four Color (Series One) #1-12 Bound Volume (Dell, 1939-40). We here at Heritage have had the good fortune to see many bound volumes of Dell comics pass through our doors during the recent years, but nothing has impressed this cataloger as much as this incredible book. It collects the first twelve issues of Dell's original Four Color series, in a beautifully preserved hardback volume. The comics inside are breathtaking, despite the fact all were trimmed during the binding process. All were apparent VF or better copies before binding; all have retained most of their original cover gloss and supple interior paper quality. And what comics they are -- #1 (Dick Tracy -- the first color comic book devoted to this character), #2 (Don Winslow of the Navy -- considered "rare" by Overstreet), #3 (Myra North), #4 (Donald Duck, featuring Al Taliaferro strip reprints), #5 (Smilin' Jack -- first comic book), #6 (Dick Tracy -- considered "scarce" by Overstreet), #7 (Gang Busters), #8 (Dick Tracy), #9 (Terry and the Pirates), #10 (Smilin' Jack), #11 (Smitty), and #12 (Little Orphan Annie). The binding itself is remarkable, featuring a light purple cloth cover, with extremely tight, perfect binding. This is quite a contrast to the actual Western Publishing Library volumes, many of which are now coming loose with age and use. We're not sure of the origins of this beautiful volume (it's possible these were from a Western bound volume that has since been professionally rebound), but if the finest set of Four Color comics is your goal, you could do no better than this! Although the inside copies still look VF or better, it's our policy to list VG values for bound volumes. Overstreet VG 4.0 value for group = $4,536.

Showcase #22 Green Lantern (DC, 1959) CGC VF/NM 9.0 Off-white pages. Feast your eyes on this, Silver Age fans, it's the sole highest-graded copy of the first appearance of the Silver Age Green Lantern! For whatever reason, this issue's very difficult to find even in FN or better, so we were wowed by this census-topper. Especially pleasing to the eye is that it's such a well-centered copy, as so many have part of the white back cover showing on the front and spoiling the fun. Not only does Hal Jordan make his debut here, the book also has the first appearances of Abin Sur (the alien who gives Hal his powers) and Carol Ferris (Hal's love interest and also his boss!). Gil Kane handled the cover and interior art. Overstreet 2006 VF/NM 9.0 value = $5,592; NM- 9.2 value = $8,000. CGC census 3/06: 1 in 9.0, none higher.

Fantastic Four #4 (Marvel, 1962) CGC NM 9.4 Off-white to white pages. Here's a beautiful NM copy of one of the most significant issues of this title's long run, the first Silver Age appearance of the Sub-Mariner! Prince Namor, a star of the Timely comics of the 1940s, hadn't been seen in a comic at all since the mid-1950s, and Jack Kirby's panel sequence that shows the Human Torch "shaving" a derelict's beard to reveal the Sub-Mariner's face is one of the most memorable images of early Marvel comics. In issues to come, Sub-Mariner, now a quasi-villain, would star in many an epic Fantastic Four tale. This is indisputably one of the highlights of our Silver Age selection, and would be an upgrade to most any collector's FF run. Overstreet 2006 NM- 9.2 value = $5,800. CGC census 4/06: 6 in 9.4, 1 higher.

Four Color (Series One) #13-25 Bound Volume (Dell, 1941-42). Here's the second half of the original Four Color run, in a beautiful bound volume similar to our previous lot. Included are #13 (Walt Disney's Reluctant Dragon), 14 (Moon Mullins -- first issue), 15 (Tillie the Toiler -- first issue), 16 (Mickey Mouse Outwits the Phantom Blot -- the first solo Mickey comic book), 17 (Walt Disney's Dumbo, the Flying Elephant), 18 (Jiggs and Maggie -- first issue), 19 (Barney Google and Snuffy Smith -- first issue, as well as first with Four Color on the cover), 20 (Tiny Tim), 21 (Dick Tracy), 22 (Don Winslow), 23 (Gang Busters), 24 (Captain Easy), and 25 (Popeye, featuring strip reprints by Segar). As before, these are incredible copies, with off-white, supple pages and glossy covers. The binding is very tight and clean, with no hint of any problems whatsoever.

Showcase #4 The Flash (DC, 1956) CGC VF- 7.5 Off-white to white pages. The first Silver Age comic book according to many, this is the origin and first appearance of the new Flash, Barry Allen. A dynamite new costume, somewhat fancier powers, and the stylish art of Carmine Infantino were the combination that caught the fancy of comic readers and led to the revival of the superhero genre.

Four Color #13-24 Bound Volume (Dell, 1942-43). The real fun of collecting bound volumes is the fact that the comics inside can actually be read and enjoyed, as opposed to "look but don't touch" CGC-slabbed books. Here's another terrific volume of early 64-page Four Color issues, offered for your reading pleasure: #13 (Mr. District Attorney -- first issue), 14 (Smilin' Jack), 15 (Felix the Cat -- first issue, featuring art by Otto Messmer), 16 (Porky Pig and the Secret of the Haunted House -- first issue), 17 (Popeye and Wimpy), 18 (Little Orphan Annie's Junior Commandos -- flag cover), 19 (Walt Disney's Thumper meets the Seven Dwarfs), 20 (Barney Baxter), 21 (Oswald the Rabbit -- first issue), 22 (Tillie the Toiler), 23 (Raggedy Ann and Andy), and 24 (Gangbusters).

Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #25-36 File Copies Bound Volume (Dell, 1943). Carl Barks' first Donald Duck art of this series in issue #31 makes that book a major key issue for the Dell collector, and it's the highlight of this fantastic bound volume! Other highlights are #32 (the first Donald story written in its entirety by Barks) and #33 (a classic infinity cover). Meanwhile, #34 starts the Gremlins series with Walt Kelly art, and some of the issues prior to that in this book have Kelly art too. The trimmed and bound Western Publishing file copies in this brown hardcover volume are in beautiful, VF-type condition, with the cover gloss particularly impressive. The spine of the book is embossed with the title and issue numbers. See the work of the "good Duck artist" as it originally appeared!

All-Flash #1-12 Bound Volume (DC, 1941-43). We can't say for sure if this All-Flash volume originated from DC or perhaps another comic publisher, but it has all the earmarks! It has aged considerably, with many of the covers and interior pages beginning to tan along the edges, and the binding looks like the proper vintage. At any rate, these early adventures of DC's Fastest Man Alive are loads of fun to read! The books were not trimmed before binding, but fit well together -- in spite of the tanning, they are still quite readable. Consider this a rare chance to obtain the first twelve issues, all in a single bound volume. Overstreet VG 4.0 value for group = $5,904.

The Flash #123 (DC, 1961) CGC NM- 9.2 Off-white to white pages. We can't imagine a DC fan who wouldn't want this copy. It's one of the nicest copies yet certified of the classic "Flash of Two Worlds" issue, a true DC milestone. This book opened up a whole new world of possible storylines by revealing that there was another Earth where the Golden Age heroes were still alive and well (later dubbed Earth-Two). It was the first time that the original Flash, Jay Garrick, had appeared since the Golden Age, and he thrilled fans by meeting up with his Silver Age counterpart, Barry Allen. Carmine Infantino's cover is among the most famous of DC's Silver Age. Overstreet 2006 NM- 9.2 value = $2,400. CGC census 3/06: 2 in 9.2, 1 higher.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 (Mirage Studios, 1984) CGC NM 9.4 White pages. High-grade copies of this first printing are a four-figure item these days! This is the origin and first appearance of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Splinter, and Shredder, and it's a book that had a print run of only 3,000 copies. Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird's independent comic was a smash hit that took everyone by surprise, so much so that just a year after publication Laird wrote, "The comic book we were afraid would sit around our living room in unsold boxes upon boxes is now being sold for approximately what a Conan #1 would go for." Well, guess what: some 20 years on, you could get about four Conan #1s in the same grade for what this one is selling for. It's currently the most valuable post-1980 comic, and likely to stay that way for a while. Note that the 2006 Overstreet guide does not list a value for this first printing, simply stating, "Prices vary widely on this book." CGC census 4/06: 8 in 9.4, 5 higher. (Total: 1 Comic Book)

Showcase #4 The Flash (DC, 1956) CGC FN- 5.5 Off-white pages. The Silver Age was born with this issue, the first appearance of the new Flash, Barry Allen. This series was a tryout title (the previous issues featured the forgettable likes of Kings of the Wild and the Frogmen), but the inclusion of a new superhero was remarkable since costumed adventurers were more or less "box-office poison" at the time. But the issue, drawn by Carmine Infantino, was a hit, and more and more superheroes were back in business thereafter.

It's the issue in which the Fantastic Four became more of a traditional superhero team, donning costumes for the first time, establishing a headquarters, and coming up with their distinctive Fantasti-Car. Stan Lee's original idea for a team totally different than what had gone before involved their not wearing costumes at all, as an extension of the fact that they didn't bother with secret identities. Thank goodness he reconsidered, as the outfits and gadgets became an essential aspect of the group. All except for the Thing's costume, complete with mask, that lasted about three panels! Of course, those great visuals are courtesy of co-creator Jack Kirby. Overstreet 2006 VF 8.0 value = $2,109; VF/NM 9.0 value = $3,705. CGC census 3/06: 8 in 8.5, 9 higher.

Steve Ditko drew the entire issue. Overstreet 2006 NM- 9.2 value = $700. CGC census 3/06: 8 in 9.4, 6 higher.

The origin and first appearance of the Incredible Hulk shows the character with grey skin, which was changed to the now-familiar green just one issue later.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 (Mirage Studios, 1984) CGC Qualified NM+ 9.6 White pages. First printings like this one were already a high-demand item in the mid-80s, and anyone who thought that was a passing fad turned out to be dead wrong! In fact, this currently stands as the most valuable 1980s comic book. While the series that TMNT parodies, Frank Miller's Ronin, was hoarded in immense quantities upon publication, this under-the-radar independent comic was bought by only a select few (the print run was just 3,000). This is the origin and first appearance of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Splinter, and Shredder. Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird handled the story and art. Note that Overstreet does not list a value for the first printing. CGC notes, "3-inch tear on 8th and 9th page."

X-Men #94 (Marvel, 1975) CGC NM 9.4 Off-white to white pages. Little did anyone know in 1975 what an impact this issue would have! Not only was it the regular-series debut of the new X-Men, their second appearance overall, but it was the moment when the new team formally replaced the old group, with Angel, Marvel Girl and Iceman resigning. And Sunfire, though a new guy, resigned too! Gil Kane drew the cover, and Dave Cockrum handled the interior art. For a relatively recent book, and considering that over 1,700 copies have been certified, not many rank higher in grade than this beauty! Overstreet 2006 NM- 9.2 value = $1,060. CGC census 3/06: 89 in 9.4, 18 higher.
