Marvel Comics #1 (Timely, 1939) CGC VG- 3.5 Cream to off-white pages. The very first Timely comic, as well as the book that launched the entire Marvel Universe, is without a doubt one of the most important comic books ever produced. Among its highlights: the first appearances of the Human Torch and Ka-Zar, both characters who went on to enjoy a long run, alongside less-heralded heroes such as the Angel, Jungle Terror, and Masked Raider. The origin of Sub-Mariner, partially reprinted from the obscure Motion Picture Funnies #1, was expanded for this appearance. Artists include Carl Burgos, Bill Everett, and Paul Gustavson. This copy is completely restoration free, one of only nineteen unrestored copies certified by CGC to date. CGC notes, "Cover detached." Overstreet 2009 VG 4.0 value = $46,000. CGC census 4/10: 1 in 3.5, 14 higher.
