Description
New Adventure Comics #26 (DC, 1938) CGC GD+ 2.5 Cream to off-white pages. Ernst Gerber rates this book a "7" or "scarce" on his Scarcity Index, but we consider it "rare", as this is one of the only two copies we have ever seen of issue #26. Some consider this book to be the rarest of all DC comics. To date, just nine copies have been graded by CGC, restored or otherwise! When a well-known collector completed the Herculean task of putting together a complete run of DC comics, this is the very last comic issue he was missing before reaching his goal in the early 2000's. As always with issues of this title, the relatively high number makes it easy to forget how early the issue is in the grand scheme of things -- #26 of this series 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 saw print. The cover art was in the hands of DC's best cover artist of the early era, Creig Flessel. The interior is a mix of adventure and humor, with the creators of DC's two greatest characters both contributing: Bob Kane drew some gag strips for the issue, and Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster drew the Federal Men feature. We expect the scarcity of this issue to result in a hefty premium over Guide value when the hammer falls. Overstreet 2019 GD 2.0 value = $4,900. CGC census 5/20: 1 in 2.5, 4 higher.CGC Grader Notes:
