Action Comics #166 Davis Crippen ("D" Copy) pedigree (DC, 1952) CGC VF+ 8.5 Off-white to white pages. This issue's from the era when superhero books weren't in demand, and it doesn't seem to turn up in collections much. A mere three copies have been certified by CGC to date. After perusing Win Mortimer's cover, you may wonder why Perry White is acting so strangely. If you guessed "it's a robot double," you're well-versed in DC gimmicks, and we'll note that Lex Luthor is behind all of this. Congo Bill, the Vigilante, and Tommy Tomorrow are the backup features.

Adventure Comics #76 (DC, 1942) CGC VF+ 8.5 Off-white to white pages. Joe Simon and Jack Kirby do double duty in this terrific issue, providing not one but two stories - Manhunter and Sandman - in addition to the action-packed cover. This was truly the Golden Era for Adventure Comics, with great Starman, Hourman, and Shining Knight stories as well. This outstanding copy is eclipsed by only one other in the current CGC census; if you spot a tiny flaw in the type area of the cover (by "It's a dream..."), rest assured it's only a stray fleck of plastic within the CGC case, and doesn't affect the book in any way.

E. Hibbard. This is the highest graded copy certified by CGC to date. Overstreet 2006 VF 8.0 value = $431. CGC census 7/06: 1 in 8.0, none higher. From the Crippen Collection.

All-American Comics #81 Davis Crippen ("D" Copy) pedigree (DC, 1947) CGC VF 8.0 Off-white to white pages. Another great cover by Paul Reinman, one that begs the question "What hurts more: a sock in the kisser from a superhero or a cactus to the bum from his goofy sidekick?" The world may never know, but what's for certain is that this is one handsome specimen of this issue, one that ties with one other as CGC's top-graded copy. Gerber rates it a "6", "uncommon." Overstreet 2006 VF 8.0 value = $431. CGC census 7/06: 2 in 8.0, none higher. From the Crippen Collection.

All-American Comics #82 Davis Crippen ("D" Copy) pedigree (DC, 1947) CGC VF+ 8.5 Off-white pages. The appealing style of Irwin Hasen graces this issue's unusual cover. In addition to the Green Lantern feature, the issue has Dr. Mid-Nite and Winky, Blinky, and Noddy. We hadn't ever offered this issue before, and it's nice to start with the highest-graded copy! Overstreet 2006 VF 8.0 value = $431; VF/NM 9.0 value = $683. CGC census 6/06: 1 in 8.5, none higher. From the Crippen Collection.

All-American Comics #83 Davis Crippen ("D" Copy) pedigree (DC, 1947) CGC VF/NM 9.0 Off-white to white pages. Did Maurice Sendak of Where The Wild Things Are fame draw this issue's cover? Gerber attributes it as such, and that's plausible, as Sendak did assist Bud Fisher on the Mutt and Jeff strip. This is one of only two times Mutt and Jeff were the sole cover feature, even though they appeared in this series exactly 100 times! Green Lantern and Dr. Mid-Nite are the superheroes of the issue. This is a superb copy that's unsurprisingly the census-topper. Overstreet 2006 VF/NM 9.0 value = $683; NM- 9.2 value = $935. CGC census 6/06: 1 in 9.0, none higher. From the Crippen Collection.
