Description
Target Comics #6 (Novelty Press, 1940) CGC NM/MT 9.8 White pages. When you examine the condition of this NM/MT Mile High copy, you're gonna party like it's 1940 -- the cover's Technicolor sunset is the perfect showcase for the well-preserved glory of this 9.8 pedigree book. It's not just the highest-graded copy of the issue yet certified, the runner-up is a mere GD/VG 3.0! Artist Bill Everett was a constant in the early issues of Target, drawing covers and Bull's-Eye Bill stories. Here, his creation the Chameleon, a detective who's a master of disguise, makes his first appearance. Other characters include top-billed hero White Streak, whose origin story continues in a text feature, and Basil Wolverton's Spacehawk. Overstreet speculates that this issue may well have the first-ever letter column in comics, and notes that the page in question has an early mention of comic book collecting. Apparently, not many picked up on the idea to start saving these works of art, otherwise this issue wouldn't be "uncommon" according to Gerber! Overstreet 2005 NM- 9.2 value = $2,600. CGC census 12/05: 1 in 9.8, none higher.CGC Grader Notes:
