Description
New Adventure Comics #26 (DC, 1938) CGC GD 2.0 Cream to off-white pages. This is widely considered by DC collectors to be one of the rarest of all DC comics! This is just the second copy that we have ever seen in our 15 years of auctioning the world's best comic books, and this copy is also just the sixth Universal label that CGC has given for this book. Further evidence of its scarcity -- when collector Ian Levine completed the Herculean task of putting together a complete run of DC comics, this was the very last comic issue that he was missing before finally finishing the collection. The relatively high issue number makes it easy to forget how early in the Golden Age this book was published -- issue #26 preceded Action Comics #1 by a month! In fact, the inside cover has an ad for Action #1, making this one of the very first times an image of Superman ever saw print. The Western-themed cover art was by early Golden Age cover specialist, Creig Flessel. The interior is a mix of adventure and humor, with the creators of Batman and Superman both contributing: Bob Kane did some gag strips, and Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster drew the "Federal Men" feature. The rarity of this issue should result in multiples of Guide value when the bids for this DC rarity end. Overstreet 2017 GD 2.0 value = $4,400. CGC census 8/17: 1 in 2.0, 4 higher.CGC Grader Notes:
