    Description

    Superworld Comics #1 (Hugo Gernsback, 1940) CGC FN- 5.5 Cream to off-white pages. This bizarre book was published by the pulp legend, Hugo Gernsback, and has a supernatural cover by famous pulp artist, Frank R. Paul. All three issues of this short-lived series are noted by Overstreet as being scarce, and it's not hard to believe. These are rarely ever seen, so even a mid-grade copy like this one is a real prize. It has several stamps on the front cover noting it as a copyright deposit in the Library of Congress. Overstreet 2002 FN 6.0 value = $1,845.
