Description
Jumbo Comics #1 (Fiction House, 1938) Condition: Apparent VF Moderate (P). The title says it all - the first eight issues were 10.75" x 14.5" super-sized! Overstreet and Gerber concur that the issue is "rare," and Overstreet doesn't even list values for grades above VF 8.0. The issue's so big it can't be slabbed, therefore CGC has no census data for the issue, but this must be one of the best-looking copies in existence. Highlights included the first appearance of Sheena by Mort Meskin, the first appearance of Peter Pupp by Bob Kane, a Mickey Mouse page with a bio of Walt Disney, the first comic book art by Jack Kirby, and Hawks of the Sea by Will Eisner. Restoration includes spine reinforcement, color touch, pieces added, and tear seals. Overstreet 2008 GD 2.0 value = $2,150; VG 4.0 value = $4,300; FN 6.0 value = $6,450; VF 8.0 value = $21,500.More information about Jumbo Comics, and Jumbo Comics #1 Comic Title.
