Marvel Comics #1 (Timely, 1939) CGC Apparent VF- 7.5 Moderate (P) Off-white pages. This copy was pictured in the color section of the 1977-78 Comic Book Price Guide (#7), and at that time Marvel #1 also occupied the #1 spot on the list of most valuable comic books. It certainly hasn't lost significance since then, as it's the first comic to be published by the company that became Marvel. It's also got the first appearance of the Human Torch and the first newsstand appearance of the Sub-Mariner. Frank R. Paul is the cover artist. CGC notes, "Restoration includes: color touch, piece added, spine split sealed, reinforced, re-glossed." Overstreet 2008 GD 2.0 value = $22,000; VG 4.0 value = $44,000; FN 6.0 value = $66,000; VF 8.0 value = $147,000. From the Kylberg Collection.
