Special Edition Comics #1 (Fawcett, 1940) CGC VF+ 8.5 Cream to off-white pages. It's the first comic book devoted entirely to Captain Marvel!

Whatever the case, the cat was soon out of the bag, as Captain Marvel Adventures followed and became the bestselling series in all of comics. C. C. Beck drew this issue's now-famous cover.Overstreet 2005 VF 8.0 value = $5,873; VF/NM 9.0 value = $9,437. CGC census 12/05: 1 in 8.5, 5 higher.CGC Grader Notes:
