Description
Whiz Comics #2 (#1) (Fawcett, 1940) CGC Apparent VF- 7.5 Slight (P) Off-white pages. The first Fawcett comic book to make it to newsstands, this issue has the origin and first newsstand appearance of Captain Marvel, who as Overstreet succinctly noted, "came from behind to eclipse the competition's best." The issue also has the first appearances of supporting characters Shazam (the old wizard) and Dr. Sivana, plus the first appearances of Spy Smasher, Ibis the Invincible, and Lance O'Casey, all long-running characters who had their own series at one time or another. Note that there is a small hairline crack on each side of the CGC slab, not affecting the integrity of the holder. CGC notes, "Restoration includes: very small color touch, split sealed, cleaned, reinforced."
