Description
Jumbo Comics #2 (Fiction House, 1938) Condition: FR/GD. Very early Jack Kirby art is just one highlight of this oversized comic, which is called "rare" by Overstreet and assigned a "7" by Gerber. The artist's first comic book work was issue #1, and this second issue is still so early that Kirby wasn't even using the name "Kirby" yet! Here you can see his style shining through on both "The Count of Monte Cristo" (signed "Jack Curtiss") and "The Diary of Dr. Hayward" (signed "Curt Davis"). The origin of Sheena, Queen of the Jungle, is told for the first time in this issue, drawn by ace artist Mort Meskin. There were many other big-name contributors as well, including Bob Kane, who drew multiple gag features, and Dick Briefer, who drew the Hunchback of Notre Dame. Another feature spotlights everyone's favorite dummy, Charlie McCarthy. This oversized monster measures 10.5" x 14.5", and it's printed on alternating red and green paper. The spine is split most of the length of the book; it's an "otherwise VG" copy. It's got a sticker from the "Canadian National Railways News Service." Overstreet 2007 GD 2.0 value = $700.More information about Jumbo Comics, and Jumbo Comics #2 Comic Title.
