Bruce Gentry #1 Mile High pedigree (Superior, 1948) CGC NM 9.4 Off-white to white pages. This comic's a steal compared to the prices that are paid for other classic "headlight"-cover issues like Blue Beetle #54 and Phantom Lady #17! And if you want to invest in this undervalued book, there's no better copy to go after than the Mile High. The cover artist hasn't been identified, but his work would do Jack Kamen or Matt Baker proud! No offense to the putative star of the comic, Ray Bailey's character Bruce Gentry, but the other main points of collector interest are negligee panels in the story and the fact that the EC emblem is seen on a piece of stationery in the story. Overstreet 2005 NM- 9.2 value = $625. CGC census 12/05: 3 in 9.4, none higher.
