Four Color (Series One) #1 Dick Tracy - Mile High pedigree (Dell, 1939) CGC VF+ 8.5 Off-white to white pages. None of the books from Four Color's brief Series One crop up very often, and one of the hardest to find is this first issue, which is termed "scarce" by Gerber. Of course, Dick Tracy and his creator Chester Gould need no introduction! It appears that this pedigree book was only kept from NM territory because of some yellowing on the back cover; the front cover is certainly up to the usual high Edgar Church standard. Only one copy of this issue has been certified with a higher grade by CGC to date. Overstreet 2004 VF 8.0 value = $4,396; VF/NM 9.0 value = $6,748.

Jerry Robinson and George Roussos - Batman #13, page 4 Original Art (DC, 1942). Hold on to your cowls, Bat-fans! Here's a sensational Golden Age page from "Comedy of Tears" featuring the Batman's arch-rival, that Harlequin of Hate, the Joker, as drawn by his co-creator Jerry Robinson! Assisting Robinson with the art was George "Inky" Roussos and the two artists created a stark vision of underworld life that rivaled that of Chester Gould's Dick Tracy feature. Robinson recounted his role in the creation of the Joker in a Jim Amash interview for Alter-Ego magazine: "All heroes in literature had a memorable antagonist: in the Bible, David had Goliath -- Sherlock Holmes had Professor Moriarty, etc. Once I got on that streak, I realized I wanted a bigger-than-life villain. My first thought was to create one with a sense of humor. Good characters have contradictions in their character. The Joker is a villain with a sense of humor, which gives him an extra dimension." Two superb scenes spotlighting Batman, Robin, and Commissioner Gordon are featured in the final two panels of this page. The image area of the page measures 13" x 18" and the art is in Excellent condition. Batman art of this vintage and quality is scarcely seen in the marketplace; don't miss your chance to bid on what is sure to be a prized showpiece of any comic book art collection!
