Wow Comics #nn (#1) Larson pedigree (Fawcett, 1940) CGC Apparent FN/VF 7.0 Slight (A) Off-white to white pages. This is the rarest newsstand-distributed Fawcett comic book, an issue we once went five years without seeing a copy of! Overstreet points out the reason for the scarcity: the cover was printed on unstable paper stock. This issue is ranked among Overstreet's Top 100 Golden Age Books. The Simon and Kirby art (origin of Mr. Scarlet) is very early work by the duo, whose first comic effort (Blue Bolt) was just half a year earlier. The bondage cover is by C. C. Beck. If you're wondering about the apparent lack of the identifying markings associated with the Lamont Larson books: though it may not be visible on our scan, the first W in Wow does have a handwritten "99 Larson" that was carefully erased somewhere along the line. CGC notes, "Restoration includes: small amount of color touch on cover." Overstreet 2009 GD 2.0 value = $1,350; VG 4.0 value = $2,700; FN 6.0 value = $4,050.
