Description
Sensation Comics #1 (DC, 1942) CGC Apparent NM 9.4 Slight (P) Off-white pages. You probably won't find a nicer-looking copy of this key issue. This copy's immaculate appearance did get a helping hand from a bit of professional restoration, but it's a fact that unrestored copies of this book invariably have the cover whites marred by a dust shadow or other discoloration, so this may be the copy that most closely approximates the way the book looked when it first graced newsstands in 1942. The issue, listed among the 30 most valuable comics by Overstreet, has the second appearance of Wonder Woman, published just one month after the character was first seen in All Star Comics #8. Part Two of Wonder Woman's origin is told for the first time in this comic, with Princess Diana arriving in America. It's also the first time her "Diana Prince" secret identity is used, and we see how she came by that alias. While Wonder Woman was the undisputed star of the issue, a few other DC heroes of note made their debuts: Mr. Terrific, Wildcat, Little Boy Blue and the Blue Boys, and Shelly Moldoff's Black Pirate. The famous cover is the work of Jon Blummer. CGC notes, "Restoration includes: cover cleaned and pressed." Overstreet 2006 GD 2.0 value = $2,660; VG 4.0 value =$5,320; FN 6.0 value = $7,980; VF 8.0 value = $19,950; VF/NM 9.0 value = $34,475; NM- 9.2 value = $49,000.CGC Grader Notes:
