Description
Pep Comics #1 (MLJ, 1940) CGC VF+ 8.5 Off-white pages. America's first patriotic-themed superhero (even before Captain America) was the Shield, and this is the first appearance of the character. Also making his debut was Jack Cole's the Comet, "the most astonishing man on the face of the Earth." Comics historian Ron Goulart noted an unusual feature of the Comet: "he killed people, lots of them, and usually with glee." There's also the one and only Press Guardian (called the Falcon in this first appearance only). Irv Novick drew the robot cover as well as the Shield story inside the comic. This series was one of few to survive the post-Golden Age era, running for over 40 years. Overstreet 2005 VF 8.0 value = $6,776; VF/NM 9.0 value = $10,888. CGC census 12/05: 1 in 8.5, 2 higher.CGC Grader Notes:
