Description
Wow Comics #nn (#1) Mile High pedigree (Fawcett, 1940) CGC NM 9.4 Off-white to white pages. Wow is the word here! Expect jaws to drop when this baby is shown. Overstreet notes that this book's cover "was printed on unstable paper stock and is rarely found in Fine or Mint condition." This copy, from the renowned Edgar Church collection, is as near-perfect as they come. In fact, there isn't a copy that can even come close to matching this grade in the current CGC census! The only imperfection one might notice is a tiny amount of wear on the lower left corner. CGC also notes a very minor amount of glue on the spine, but it doesn't show. All you'll see is be tons of great cover gloss and deep color. If you want to talk about art, there's Joe Simon and Jack Kirby here, as well as C. C. Beck. On the inside pages, there's the origin of Mr. Scarlet, and the first Atom Blake, Jim Dolan, Rick O'Shay, and Boy Wizard stories. But, oh that cover! Overstreet 2003 NM 9.4 value = $18,500.More information about Wow Comics, and Wow Comics #1 Comic Title.
