About the
The Billy Wright Collection

Billy Wright was 11 years old when Action Comics #1 hit the newsstands to begin the Golden Age of comics. He grew up in Lynchburg, Virginia, attended The College of William and Mary, and then had a long career as a chemical engineer for DuPont. He passed away in 1994. His comics were stored in the basement of his home, stacked on shelves in a storage closet, and remained there until his wifes recent passing. The collection has been recognized as a pedigree collection by CGC. Paul Litch, Vice-President of CGC, remarked at the time: They have a nice feel to them, nice over-all page quality and a distinctive scent. The Billy Wright books are an exciting find and absolutely worthy of being recognized as a pedigree by CGC. A remarkable aspect of the collection is the high percentage of key issues and the almost complete absence of less collectible titles. In addition to having many of Overstreets Top 100 Golden Age books (see chart on the following page), the collection has sixty-seven #1 issues and thirty-three #2 issues. In all, the Billy Wright collection consists of approximately 340 comics, almost all from 19361941, with just a handful of later 1940s issues. The earliest comic in the collection is New Comics #2, cover-dated January 1936. While a couple of comics have Mr. Wrights name on the cover, the vast majority are distinguished by having no cover markings of any kind, a fact that is sure to be welcomed by collectors. Please note that additional comics from the Billy Wright Collection will be offered in the Sunday Internet Comics Auction at HA.com, ending February 26th.

THE MOST IMPORTANT COMIC BOOK EVER PUBLISHED

91001 Action Comics #1 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1938) CGC GD/VG 3.0 Off-white to white pages. The most important comic book ever published was Overstreets note about this issue some years ago, and weve never heard anyone nominate any other comic! Now that the best copies of this book are considered seven-figure items, many are looking for a solid (yet unrestored) lower-grade copy. Not only does this fill that bill, we hasten to add that its being offered without a reserve. This is the first appearance of Superman, and its the comic that started the Golden Age. If you browse the rest of the Billy Wright collection in this catalog youll see the difference between the 1936-37 comics offered and the comics that came later. Superman spawned many imitators (again many of which can be seen on these pages), and the characters runaway success established DC as one of the top publishers, a status it has never lost. This first Superman story, written by Jerry Siegel and drawn by Joe Shuster, also briefly tells the origin of the character. Given the price of an Action #1, the key factor is how well the comic presents in the holder. Some of the copies In this grade range that have come on the market have had a defect such as being hole-punched, having a large missing chunk, or being water-stained. No such glaring defect hampers this solid copy. The spine of the book will no doubt be the topic of some discussion, so well note that this copy has a 1 spine split at the top and a 3.75 spine split at the bottom. While the latter extends past the bottom staple, note that the back cover is attached to that bottom staple. That aside, we think youll agree the copy has more than enough pluses to bestow serious bragging rights upon the winning bidder. Overstreet 2011 GD 2.0 value = $90,000; VG 4.0 value = $180,000. CGC census 1/12: 4 in 3.0, 21 higher.

91003 Action Comics #3 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1938) CGC VG+ 4.5 Off-white to white pages. This is just the fourth copy weve ever offered, and the highest-graded of the bunch. Its been six years since weve offered a copy in any condition! Overstreets scarce rating and Gerbers 8 (rare) rating certainly jibe with our experience here. The third appearance of Superman, this is currently #31 on Overstreets list of the top Golden Age books. The cover art is by Leo OMealia. CGC notes, 2 pieces of tape on interior cover. Overstreet 2011 VG 4.0 value = $7,058. CGC census 1/12: 3 in 4.5, 2 higher.
91002 Action Comics #2 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1938) CGC VG/ FN 5.0 White pages. The second appearance of Superman, this is one of the 15 most valuable comics in the hobby in its own right. Unrestored copies seldom turn up, and when they do they tend to have significant staining or foxing. This copy has only the general wear commensurate with the grade, and the page quality is a major plus. Weve only seen half as many of these as we have Action #1s, making this an attractive buy at a tenth of the price (or less) the #1 is likely to sell for. Obviously Superman didnt make the issues cover, but this was before DC had caught on to the fact that the Man of Tomorrow was the breakout character. Still, weve seen this elegant illustration by Leo OMealia show up on collectors alltime favorite covers lists. Overstreet 2011 VG 4.0 value = $11,176; FN 6.0 value = $16,764. CGC census 1/12: 5 in 5.0, 4 higher. 91004 Action Comics #5 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1938) CGC VG+ 4.5 Off-white to white pages. One of Overstreets Top 50 Golden Age books, this is tougher to find than Action #1! Superman didnt make the cover of his fifth appearance. While this book is fairly low-grade owing to spine and back-cover issues, the front cover presents very well, and as the census info below indicates, there are not many better ones known to the hobby. Leo OMealia is the cover artist. Overstreet 2011 VG 4.0 value = $4,000. CGC census 1/12: 3 in 4.5, 7 higher.

91005 Action Comics #6 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1938) CGC VF+ 8.5 Off-white to white pages. This is the only copy graded above 7.0 to date, and one of just three graded above 6.0! Were talking about one of Overstreets top 50 Golden Age comics. This very early Superman adventure (the Man of Tomorrows sixth appearance) also has the debut of an unnamed office boy, who according to Overstreet as well as DCs own Whos Who is none other than Jimmy Olsen. Thats a pretty important debut in its own right, considering that Supermans Pal later starred in his own comic that ran for twenty years! Wed be remiss if we didnt note that this may be DCs first-ever gorilla cover a theme the publisher would return to over and over in later decades, to the delight of many fans including us. Leo OMealia is the cover artist. Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $15,000; VF/NM 9.0 value = $24,500. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 8.5, none higher.

91006 Action Comics #8 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1939) CGC VG- 3.5 White pages. A difficult book to find in any grade. Supermans first use of super-hearing was in this issue. Fred Guardineer cover art. CGC notes, 3 pieces of tape on interior cover. Overstreet 2011 VG 4.0 value = $2,588. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 3.5, 2 higher.
91007 Action Comics #9 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1939) CGC VG/FN 5.0 Off-white to white pages. This issue is so tough that the copy offered here is one of just two graded above VG- 3.5! Just to illustrate the strong demand for this issue: Heritage sold the only higher-graded copy (7.0) in 2008, when it fetched $19,120 or quadruple the Guide value at the time! This was just the second cover ever to mention Supermans name (#7 being the first, even #1 did not have his name)! That shows that by this time, eight months after #1, DC had an early inkling that Superman was the character who was selling this anthology series. The cover illustration is by Fred Guardineer. Overstreet 2011 VG 4.0 value = $2,588; FN 6.0 value = $3,882. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 5.0, 1 higher.
91008 Action Comics #11 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1939) CGC GD/VG 3.0 Off-white to white pages. Just the fourth cover of the series to show Supermans name. Fred Guardineer cover and art. CGC notes, 3 pieces of tape on interior cover. Overstreet 2011 GD 2.0 value = $735; VG 4.0 value = $1,470. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 3.0, 12 higher.

91009 Action Comics #12 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1939) CGC GD+ 2.5 Off-white to white pages. This is just the fifth copy weve offered, and also the best copy weve offered, which should tell you something about how tough these are to find in anything but the lowest grades! This is from before Superman was the permanent cover feature here, that honor went to Zatara, drawn by Fred Guardineer. CGC notes, Tape on entire spine of interior cover. Overstreet 2011 GD 2.0 value = $824. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 2.5, 5 higher.
91010 Action Comics #13 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1939) CGC VG/FN 5.0 Off-white to white pages. The fourth Superman cover appearance. The scarcity of this book is very underrated in fact, this is actually the first complete copy of #13 Heritage has ever offered (for comparisons sake, we have sold fourteen Action #1s in that time)! Issues #1, 7, and 10 were the only previous Superman covers, and of course the character did not become the permanent cover star until #19. Remember that the sight of a man stopping a train, commonplace in comics in years to come, was brand new at the time! One of Overstreets top 100 Golden Age books. Overstreet 2011 VG 4.0 value = $3,530; FN 6.0 value = $5,295. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 5.0, 5 higher.
91011 Action Comics #14 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1939) CGC VF+ 8.5 Off-white to white pages. The highest-graded copy of an early Action is a marquee comic in anyones book! The next-highest copies are graded 7.5. This ones from the era before Superman became the permanent cover feature, its the second and last cover to showcase Zatara the magician. Fred Guardineer cover art. Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $5,513; VF/NM 9.0 value = $9,007. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 8.5, none higher.

91012 Action Comics #15 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1939) CGC FN/ VF 7.0 Off-white to white pages. The fifth Superman cover, this issue is somewhat of a bargain in our eyes, though as the best copy weve ever offered, the final price of this one might put that statement to the lie! The issue date of 8/39, two months before Marvel Comics #1, is noteworthy. Overstreet 2011 FN 6.0 value = $3,354; VF 8.0 value = $8,385. CGC census 1/12: 3 in 7.0, 2 higher.
91014 Action Comics #19 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1939) CGC VF7.5 Off-white to white pages. Easily the best copy weve ever sold of this early Superman outing. This issue actually marked the run of consecutive Superman covers that continued all the way to the present day. Joe Shuster cover. Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $6,398. CGC census 1/12: 2 in 7.5, 2 higher.
91013 Action Comics #18 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1939) CGC FN 6.0 Off-white to white pages. The last non-Superman cover of the series. Cover art by Fred Guardineer. Overstreet 2011 FN 6.0 value = $1,554. CGC census 1/12: 3 in 6.0, 4 higher.
91015 Action Comics #23 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1940) CGC FN+ 6.5 White pages. Two major firsts here: the first appearance of Lex Luthor (who appears with red hair) and the first mention of the Daily Planet. A first of a different kind: this is the first copy certified white pages that Heritage has offered. Joe Shuster cover and art. Overstreet 2011 FN 6.0 value = $2,838; VF 8.0 value = $6,906. CGC census 1/12: 4 in 6.5, 6 higher.

91016 Action Comics #24 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1940) CGC FN/VF 7.0 Off-white to white pages. This one doesnt often turn up in mid grade or better. Clark Kents employer is called the Daily Planet for the first time here, previously it was the Daily Star. Joe Shuster cover art. Overstreet 2011 FN 6.0 value = $1,269; VF 8.0 value = $2,938. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 7.0, 5 higher.
91017 Action Comics #26 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1940) CGC FN+ 6.5 Off-white to white pages. Superman cover by Wayne Boring. CGC notes, Tape stain on cover. Overstreet 2011 FN 6.0 value = $1,098; VF 8.0 value = $2,562. CGC census 1/12: 3 in 6.5, 7 higher. 91019 Action Comics #29 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1940) CGC NM 9.4 Off-white to white pages. This is the highest-graded copy by a wide margin (the runner-up being 8.0). Its wonderful to see a high-grade copy of this early Lois Lane cover appearance Loiss very first according to Overstreet (if you tend to give issues #23, 24, or 27 the nod, youre in luck, as those issues are offered in this same auction). Whats clearcut is that the copy shown here is the best one ever offered for public sale. Superman cover by Wayne Boring. Overstreet 2011 NM- 9.2 value = $7,000. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 9.4, none higher.
91018 Action Comics #27 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1940) CGC VF- 7.5 Off-white to white pages. Superman cover by Paul Cassidy. Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $2,562. CGC census 1/12: 2 in 7.5, 2 higher.

91022 Action Comics #32 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1941) CGC VF7.5 White pages. Fred Ray electric chair cover. A side note: CGC notes the first appearance of the Krypto Ray Gun. This was a projector device in the shape of a gun, and its presence in the story was early product placement, tying in with a toy released around the same time. Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $1,651. CGC census 1/12: 4 in 7.5, 1 higher.
91024 Action Comics #34 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1941) CGC VF/ NM 9.0 White pages. Fred Ray cover art featuring Superman. Overstreet 2011 VF/NM 9.0 value = $2,757; NM- 9.2 value = $3,900. CGC census 1/12: 3 in 9.0, 2 higher.

91027 Action Comics #39 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1941) CGC VF 8.0 Off-white to white pages. The midnight sky looks fantastic on this copy! Early German war cover by Fred Ray. Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $1,613. CGC census 1/12: 2 in 8.0, 2 higher.
91028 Action Comics #40 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1941) CGC VF+ 8.5 Off-white to white pages. First appearance of Star Spangled Kid and Stripesy. Superman cover by Fred Ray. Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $1,651; VF/NM 9.0 value = $2,826. CGC census 1/12: 2 in 8.5, 1 higher.
91026 Action Comics #37 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1941) CGC NM 9.4 White pages. The highest-graded copy by a tidy margin, with the runner-up being the Larson copy at 9.0. Look at the green block at the top of this one and youll be a believer! The Superman cover is by Fred Ray. This issue is broken out in Overstreet thanks to having the origin of DC long-timer Congo Bill. Overstreet 2011 NM- 9.2 value = $3,950. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 9.4, none higher.

91029 Adventure Comics #40 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1939) CGC VF 8.0 White pages. This is one of the fifteen most valuable comic book issues in the hobby, and when we first laid eyes on this copy before it was certified, we knew it would be the highest-graded copy. Not only is this one of the toughest keys to find in high grade, its one of the toughest, period (compare the 14 unrestored copies that have been certified to the 32 Action #1s). Its also notable that this book is missing from most of the big-name pedigree collections to the best of our knowledge the only other pedigree copy that has been certified is the Mile High copy, which unfortunately is a restored book. The debut of the Sandman in Adventure, this is the first superhero issue of one of DCs earliest and longest-running books. Creig Flessels famous cover art only adds to the appeal. This is certainly the first copy weve offered to be certified white pages. We think this copys grade will stand up to scrutiny, and as with other books from this collection, the absence of any cover marking is a major plus. Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $47,000. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 8.0, none higher.

91032 Adventure Comics #53 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1940) CGC VF/ NM 9.0 White pages. One of just two copies graded above 8.0 to date. Bernard Baily cover featuring the Hour-Man. Overstreet 2011 VF/NM 9.0 value = $2,826; NM- 9.2 value = $4,000. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 9.0, 1 higher.
91033 Adventure Comics #54 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1940) CGC VF 8.0 Off-white to white pages. Hour Man and Sandman features. Cover by Bernard Baily. Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $1,651. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 8.0, 3 higher.
91030 Adventure Comics #41 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1939) CGC VF+ 8.5 Off-white to white pages. One of only two copies graded above 6.5. The Sandman, who first appeared in the previous issue, returns. Fantastic shark cover by Leo OMealia. Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $4,350; VF/NM 9.0 value = $7,675. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 8.5, 1 higher.
91034 Adventure Comics #55 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1940) CGC VF+ 8.5 Off-white to white pages. Bernard Baily cover featuring the Hour-Man. Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $1,651; VF/NM 9.0 value = $2,826. CGC census 1/12: 3 in 8.5, 1 higher.
91031 Adventure Comics #52 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1940) CGC NM- 9.2 Off-white to white pages. Only the esteemed Mile High copy has been graded higher than this one. This is the third cover appearance of the Hourman, with cover art by Bernard Baily. The high issue number belies how early this one is: it has the same cover date as All-American #16 (which is offered in this same auction). Overstreet 2011 NM- 9.2 value = $4,000. CGC census 1/12: 2 in 9.2, 1 higher.
91035 Adventure Comics #61 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1941) CGC FN+ 6.5 White pages. Starman made his first appearance here, bumping Sandman and the Hour-Man off of the Adventure cover where they had been alternating top billing. Only a couple of copies have been graded higher (and note that the Mile High copy of #61 is a restored book). Dont let the high issue number fool you its a pretty early book, preceding the likes of Green Lantern #1 and All-Star #8. Jack Burnley cover art. Overstreet 2011 FN 6.0 value = $3,600; VF 8.0 value = $9,000. CGC census 1/12: 2 in 6.5, 2 higher.

ONE OF THE FINEST KNOWN COPIES OF GREEN LANTERNS DEBUT
91036 All-American Comics #16 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1940) CGC VF 8.0 Off-white to white pages. The first appearance of Green Lantern is one of the top five comic issues in the hobby! This is a book thats hard to come by in unrestored condition in any grade, and this is one of just two copies that have earned a grade higher than FN 6.0. In fact, inspect this copy closely and you might like it even more than the 8.0 grade would indicate. Foxing in some areas is the only noteworthy defect we can even see the book is attached firmly onto the staples and there is no spine split. Nor is there any rust on the staples. The Green Lantern (as he was originally known) became a breakout character. Overstreet noted, The ancient fable of the magic lamp was transformed into a modern and more accessible, more mysterious form. The Green Lanterns chant became a staple of school boy mythology. Jim Steranko gave some credit for the strips popularity to the lantern chant as well: The ceremony of the ring charging its power by the god-like glow of the lantern was almost religious in content. The character was created by Martin Nodell, and the cover art for the first issue was by Sheldon Moldoff. Is this the most desirable book in the auction? We leave that decision to the bidders, but while Action #1 and Detective #27 have seen high-profile copies come to auction in recent years, we cant remember the last time a significant copy of this sought-after issue was sold publicly. Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $130,000. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 8.0, 1 higher.

91037 All-American Comics #17 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1940) CGC VF/NM 9.0 Off-white to white pages. The second Green Lantern appearance is one of Overstreets Top 100 Golden Age books in its own right, so were thrilled to be offering the highest-graded copy! And this is actually a tougher book to find than #16. Sheldon Moldoff cover and art. Overstreet 2011 VF/NM 9.0 value = $15,180; NM- 9.2 value = $22,000. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 9.0, none higher.
91038 All-American Comics #18 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1940) CGC VF- 7.5 Off-white to white pages. By far the best copy weve seen of a book thats tough to find in any grade! In the ten years Heritage has been auctioning comics we had seen just two copies previously, the best being a sorry GD+. Like so many other comics in this collection, this is ranked among Overstreets top 100 Golden Age books. The scarcity is just one part of the appeal another is that its just the third appearance of Green Lantern (with his first two also being offered in this auction). It also has the original Atom in one panel, pre-dating that characters first full appearance in the next issue. And the Sheldon Moldoff cover has a delightful New York Worlds Fair scene, only adding to the collectibilty. And while a 7.5 copy is major news, we would go so far as to say the book presents better than that grade by all means have a look for yourself. Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $8,740. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 7.5, none higher.

91040 All-American Comics #20 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1940) CGC VF+ 8.5 Offwhite to white pages. Not only the highestgraded copy, this is the only one graded above 7.5 to date. Its one of the earliest appearances of Green Lantern, who debuted in #16. Its also the first appearance of the original Red Tornado, a comic relief character who wore an upside-down pot on her head (and yes, we did say her) and became a regular in this title. Also, this issue has the second appearance of the Atom, and the first time that character donned a costume. Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $3,950; VF/NM 9.0 value = $6,975.

91039 All-American Comics #19 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1940) CGC VF+ 8.5 Off-white pages. This is the only copy graded above 7.0 as of this writing. This is one of Overstreets Top 50 Golden Age books in no small part because of its scarcity we hadnt offered a copy in any grade in six years. Its the first appearance of the original Atom and also one of the earliest Green Lantern appearances. Even given some of the outstanding collections weve brought to market over the years, a run of All-American #16-20 is unheard-of, no matter what the grade, and we couldnt be prouder to be offering one here. Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $14,600; VF/NM 9.0 value = $26,800. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 8.5, none higher.
91041 All Star Comics #1 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1940) CGC Qualified VF 8.0 Off-white to white pages. Flash, Hawkman, Spectre, Sandman, Hourman, and Ultra-Man all have stories in this inaugural issue of the fan-favorite title. CGC notes, Large coupon missing from 25th page, does not affect story. Incomplete. Overstreet 2011 GD 2.0 value = $1,185; VG 4.0 value = $2,370; FN 6.0 value = $3,555; VF 8.0 value = $8,900.
91042 All Star Comics #2 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1940) CGC Qualified VF/NM 9.0 Off-white to white pages. In terms of eye appeal this is the best copy we have seen. For comparisons sake, the top blue-label copies on CGCs census are a single 9.2 and a single 8.5. The cover features figure swipes of the Flash (from Flash Comics #8), and the Spectre (swiped from a story in All Star Comics #1), and then theres the Green Lantern, who is swiped from the All-American Comics #16 cover which in turn was swiped from an Alex Raymond Flash Gordon Sunday! CGC notes, Large coupon missing from 25th page, does not affect story. Incomplete. Overstreet 2011 GD 2.0 value = $508; VG 4.0 value = $1,016; FN 6.0 value = $1,524; VF 8.0 value = $3,708; VF/NM 9.0 value = $6,554.

91043 All Star Comics #3 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1940) CGC VF+ 8.5 Off-white to white pages. An unrestored high-grade copy of All Star #3 is very seldom offered for sale. A key comic in anyones book, this ranks #16 on Overstreets top Golden Age list. In some quarters this issue is held in even higher esteem, as the Justice Society of America, which made its first appearance here, enjoyed a fanatical following in its heyday and thereafter. This isnt just the first appearance of this superhero group, its the first appearance of any superhero group! A breakthrough concept, second in importance only to the creation of the super hero is how Overstreet once summarized the significance of this issue. Some have even advanced the theory that the concept was unprecedented in all of fiction, as even the Knights of the Round Table didnt hold meetings before joining to vanquish a common opponent! The cover image is one of the most famous in the history of comics, and its been imitated and paid homage to on many occasions (E. E. Hibbard is generally credited with the cover art). Shown here are the Atom (that characters first appearance on any comic cover), the Sandman, the Spectre, the Flash, Hawkman, Dr. Fate, Green Lantern, and the Hour-Man. Paul Levitzs recent book noted that some point to the end of the All Star series in 1951 as the end of the Golden Age, a strong testament to the influence of this title. Many books could be written about All Star and the Justice Society (in fact Roy Thomas alone has written four books on the subject!), so we will get to the topic on everyones mind: what is this comic worth? GPAnalysis notes a 2007 sale of a 7.0 copy (not at Heritage) for $18,500, and of course we auctioned the 9.6 Mile High copy for $126,500 back in 2002, or years before six-figure prices for major key books became relatively commonplace. That makes the copy offered here tough to figure, and should make for an interesting few minutes when this lot is called. Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $34,000; VF/NM 9.0 value = $62,000. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 8.5, 2 higher.

91045 All Star Comics #5 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1941) CGC VF/ NM 9.0 White pages. An unforgiving black cover is this issues curse... but its a blessing when a high-grade copy is what you have in hand. In addition to being just the third Justice Society issue, this book is noteworthy for the moment that Shiera Sanders dons Hawkmans spare costume to become Hawkwoman of course, Shiera is the future Hawkgirl, and this may well be the first comic book appearance of a costumed superheroine. Howard Purcell is credited with the cover art. Overstreet 2011 VF/NM 9.0 value = $5,925; NM- 9.2 value = $8,500. CGC census 1/12: 3 in 9.0, 4 higher.
91044 All Star Comics #4 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1941) CGC NM- 9.2 White pages. Its the first adventure of the Justice Society of America! If you ask how that could be given that they first appeared in #3, its because they spent #3 sitting around that famous meeting table telling stories. Here, they spring into action. E. E. Hibbard is credited with the cover art. Overstreet 2011 NM- 9.2 value = $9,800. CGC census 1/12: 2 in 9.2, 1 higher.
91046 All Star Comics #7 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1941) CGC NM 9.4 White pages. Last but far from least in our All Star run is this striking copy, tied with the Hawkeye copy as the best CGC has certified. This issue would be the first time that Batman and Superman would appear in a story together, about a year after they shared the cover of New York Worlds Fair 1940 (also available in this auction). Justice Society cover by E. E. Hibbard. Overstreet 2011 NM- 9.2 value = $5,800. CGC census 1/12: 2 in 9.4, none higher.

Unrestored, high-grade copies of major Golden Age keys top everyones wantlists, and this is a major key by anyones definition. Just five comics have higher Guide values (four of which are offered in this same auction), yet we wonder if top of Guide for this book should actually be higher! Despite offering more than 50 copies of this book over the years, this is just the second unrestored copy weve had that was certified white pages. The issue has the first appearances of both the Joker and Catwoman, who of course are among the very few comic book villains to have attained true household name status. Also of note is a classic (and much-imitated) cover by Bob Kane and the late Jerry Robinson. Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $100,000; VF/NM 9.0 value = $192,500. CGC census 1/12: 3 in 8.5, 3 higher.

91048 Batman #2 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1940) CGC VF+ 8.5 Off-white to white pages. One of Overstreets Top 50 Golden Age books. Of course, issue #1 is now so expensive in high grade that its out of the reach of most, so it might be time to secure #2 before this issue follows suit. Not only is this just the second appearance of both the Joker and Catwoman, its the first appearance of the name Catwoman, since this classic villainess was called the Cat in her first outing in #1. Bob Kane and Jerry Robinson are credited with the cover art. Since this meaty 64-pager had four Batman stories, kids would read it again and again, which is why most existing copies are scuffed, smudged, and spine-split. This is a superb opportunity to finally secure one in high grade. Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $12,500; VF/NM 9.0 value = $23,750. CGC census 1/12: 2 in 8.5, 2 higher.

91049 Batman #4 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1940) CGC VF+ 8.5 Offwhite to white pages. This early issue has very unforgiving red and black surfaces, hence the low number of high-grade copies. Notable events in this issue are the fourth appearance of the Joker (he was in two previous Batmans and one Detective) and the first mention of Gotham City in a Batman comic. Cover art by Bob Kane and Jerry Robinson. Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $5,920; VF/NM 9.0 value = $10,460. CGC census 1/12: 4 in 8.5, 2 higher.
91052 Batman #7 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1941) CGC NM- 9.2 White pages. One of the most recognizable covers of the series early run has never looked better than on this copy!

Overstreet 2011 NM- 9.2 value = $9,500. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 9.2, none higher.
91050 Batman #5 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1941) CGC VF/NM 9.0 White pages. First appearance of the Batmobile with its bat-head front.

91055 Detective Comics #6 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1937) CGC VG/FN 5.0 Offwhite pages. Speed Saunders by Creig Flessel is the cover feature of this early DC, 10 months before Action #1. Overstreet 2011 VG 4.0 value = $1,840; FN 6.0 value = $2,760. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 5.0, 3 higher.

91053 Batman #15 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1943) CGC VF/NM 9.0 White pages. Every schoolboy knows that Batman never uses a gun, right?

91057 Detective Comics #8 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1937) CGC VF- 7.5 Off-white pages. This shows you how early the Wright collection started: this book is one of the first 250 or so comics ever published, and pre-dated Action #1 by eight months, but when it came out, Billy Wright had already been buying DCs for 21 months! The classic cover art for this issue is credited to Creig Flessel (if the art looks familiar, its probably because it was appropriated for the oddball Atomic Comics some eight years later). Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $7,700. CGC census 1/12: 2 in 7.5, 2 higher.

91058 Detective Comics #9 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1937) CGC VG- 3.5 Off-white pages. This is the first copy of #9 we have ever offered! Almost all of the pre-Batman Detective issues are considered tough to come by, so were thrilled to be offering a number of them here. Creig Flessel cover art. Overstreet 2011 VG 4.0 value = $1,840. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 3.5, 5 higher.
91063 Detective Comics #16 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1938) CGC FN/VF 7.0 White pages. Creig Flessel provided the cover art for this issue.

91059 Detective Comics #11 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1938) CGC VG- 3.5 Cream to offwhite pages. Creig Flessel portrayed the dapper Speed Saunders on this wonderful cover, which is one of the better covers of Detectives pre-Batman run. CGC notes, 5 pieces of tape on interior cover. Overstreet 2011 VG 4.0 value = $1,440. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 3.5, 10 higher.
91061 Detective Comics #14 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1938) CGC FN 6.0 Off-white to white pages. Heres how tough mid- to highgrade copies of this issue are: in 2001 we sold the lone 7.0 copy (in the very early days of CGC and its census), and in the ensuing 10 years no copy has come along to top it. This one comes close at least, and collectors of pre-hero Detectives have been waiting a long time for a copy this nice. Creig Flessel cover art. Overstreet 2011 FN 6.0 value = $2,160. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 6.0, 2 higher.
91060 Detective Comics #12 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1938) CGC VG/FN 5.0 Off-white pages. This pre-Action #1 issue is tough to find in any grade this is just the fifth different copy we have auctioned. Creig Flessel is the cover artist. Overstreet 2011 VG 4.0 value = $1,440; FN 6.0 value = $2,160. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 5.0, 4 higher.
91062 Detective Comics #15 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1938) CGC FN 6.0 Off-white pages. The best copy weve offered of an issue that came out a month before Action #1. In fact, the issue even contains a coming soon ad for Action #1! Superman creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster actually drew two stories for this issue as well. Creig Flessel cover art. Overstreet 2011 FN 6.0 value = $2,160. CGC census 1/12: 3 in 6.0, 2 higher.

91067 Detective Comics #22 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1938) CGC FN/VF 7.0 Off-white to white pages. This is just the second superhero cover in the history of comics! Its tied for that honor with Action #7, with of course only Action #1 coming earlier. Before Batman came along, this title had the Crimson Avenger, and this is his only cover appearance of the series (though a few hardy dissenters aver that the masked fellow on #34 is this character). Jim Chambers is the cover artist. Overstreet 2011 FN 6.0 value = $2,310; VF 8.0 value = $4,235. CGC census 1/12: 2 in 7.0, 1 higher.
91065 Detective Comics #18 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1938) CGC VF- 7.5 White pages. The cover is a classic in most anyones book. Creig Flessel is the artist, Fu Manchu the character. Unrestored copies of this issue are tough to come by, and this is the highest-graded one weve ever sold. Batman was nine months away and Superman had been in just three comics when this issue hit the stands. Fu Manchu was actually the star of a feature at this time, and the lineup of good guys included the likes of Slam Bradley (two-fisted sleuth), Speed Saunders (plainclothes cop), Buck Marshall (range-ridin detective), Bart Regan (spy), and Cosmo (the phantom of disguise). A real gem among early DCs. Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $6,325. CGC census 1/12: 2 in 7.5, 1 higher.
91068 Detective Comics #24 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1939) CGC FN- 5.5 White pages. One of the very toughest Detective issues to find, both in our opinion and that of Ernst Gerber, who gave it a scarcity rating of 8. The cover art is by Fred Guardineer, who also drew the Speed Saunders feature inside the book. Just the third copy weve ever offered, and the best one of the bunch. Overstreet 2011 FN 6.0 value = $1,740. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 5.5, 3 higher.
91066 Detective Comics #21 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1938) CGC FN+ 6.5 Off-white to white pages. Not just the highest-graded copy, this is the only one graded above 4.0! And we might as well mention that the Mile High copy of this book bears a qualified 9.0 grade thanks to a long spine split. So the Billy Wright copy is by far the best available blue-label option. Its the second appearance of the Crimson Avenger by the way. Lee OMealia cover art. Overstreet 2011 FN 6.0 value = $1,740; VF 8.0 value = $3,190. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 6.5, none higher.
91069 Detective Comics #26 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1939) CGC VG 4.0 Off-white to white pages. The title of the series accurately describes both Fred Guardineers cover and the contents... but there was this announcement at the top of a gag page: The Batman! This new thrilling adventure strip starts in the May issue of Detective Comics! Dont miss it! Overstreet 2011 VG 4.0 value = $1,140. CGC census 1/12: 2 in 4.0, 6 higher.

A POP CULTURE PHENOMENON DEBUTS

91070 Detective Comics #27 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1939) CGC FN+ 6.5 Off-white to white pages. The first appearance of Batman is currently considered the second most-valuable comic in the hobby. However, it has had the #1 spot before, and its not inconceivable that it could regain it, as Batman is a collector many prefer to Superman. Batman has certainly been more of a pop culture presence than Superman in recent years. To put the 6.5 grade in perspective, no copy has received a grade higher than 8.0 from CGC to date. The off-white to white page quality is the best page quality certification weve seen for this issue (aside from copies that owed their white pages to restoration). As with the majority of comics from this collection, this copy has no writing or marking from a newsdealer or previous owner on the cover. The other thing that struck us as we examined this copy was that Bob Kanes signature at the bottom is almost entirely visible -- most copies youll find do not have the Kane visible. When this issue was released with a May 1939 cover date, Superman was the only other superhero on the stands, save for the now-obscure likes of the Arrow and the Crimson Avenger. So its no wonder that the striking cover by Kane made a strong impact. It has taken its place as one of the most famous covers in the history of comics. Kane and writer Bill Finger (generally credited these days as a co-creator of the character) produced a hero to rival Superman without imitating the earlier character. As Jim Steranko noted, Superman had given DC its strength, but Batman gave it tone. Of course, Superman was more impressive... but Batman was more fascinating. The Bat-Man appeared in a six-page story that also introduced the character of Commissioner Gordon. The second-to-last panel revealed that this mysterious figure was in fact Bruce Wayne, introduced earlier in the story. Its a special treat to be able to offer this book as part of a Detective run, allowing the hobbyist to compare and contrast the subsequent issues with what came before! While of course not every existing comic has been CGC-certified, many of the notable Golden Age pedigree comic collections have lacked this key issue. It was notably absent among the Lamont Larson collection and the Davis Crippen D Copies, two of the few pedigree collections which began early enough to encompass this books May 1939 cover date. Overstreet 2011 FN 6.0 value = $240,000; VF 8.0 value = $600,000. CGC census 1/12: 3 in 6.5, 6 higher.

91071 Detective Comics #28 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1939) CGC VF 8.0 Off-white to white pages. The second appearance of Batman is a book so tough to find in unrestored condition that weve only offered one in better condition than Poor in our ten years of auctioning vintage comics. While Batman obviously didnt make the cover except for a blurb, he was the lead feature in the book, indicating that DC knew they had a winner on their hands. The story of the Bat-Man (written thus inside if not on the cover) was the second and last to be signed Robt Kane. Fred Guardineer is the cover artist of this early issue, which Overstreet lists among the 50 most valuable Golden Age comic books. Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $22,500. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 8.0, 2 higher.

91072 Detective Comics #29 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1939) CGC FN/VF 7.0 Off-white to white pages. The second-ever Batman cover is a very desirable book indeed, and its ranked among the top 20 Golden Age books by Overstreet. The cover art by Bob Kane is simply electrifying, and we would argue that Batman is more in character here than on his first appearance in #27. This is the Darknight Detective that every comic collector knows and loves! This book is seldom found in unrestored condition, and this is the best copy to be offered for public sale in the CGC era. Overstreet 2011 FN 6.0 value = $14,400; VF 8.0 value = $36,000. CGC census 1/12: 2 in 7.0, 2 higher.

91073 Detective Comics #30 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1939) CGC VF/NM 9.0 Off-white to white pages. Batmans fourth appearance doesnt come along much in any grade, and certainly not in an unrestored high grade. Overstreet mentions the classic Batman splash panel its a grim Batman looming over the top third of the first page. In these choice early issues, the Bat-Man was a different character than he became in later years. As Rob Hughes noted, Batman was not interested in taking prisoners, rehabilitation or giving these law-breakers a second chance. Like issue #28, this one has a non-Batman cover, a fairly violent scene by Fred Guardineer. Overstreet 2011 VF/NM 9.0 value = $13,800; NM- 9.2 value = $20,000. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 9.0, 1 higher.
91074 Detective Comics #32 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1939) CGC FN+ 6.5 Off-white to white pages. The sixth appearance of Batman is unknown in high grade (the two copies above this one on CGCs census are both 7.5). The fact that Batman isnt on the cover tells you its an early issue. And indeed, the early Golden Age Batman was a bit different from the later character in some respects not only does he use a gun in #32, he shoots two villains while theyre asleep! Overstreet calls it the first time a costumed hero used a gun in comic books. Cover art by Fred Guardineer. Overstreet 2011 FN 6.0 value = $2,757; VF 8.0 value = $6,709. CGC census 1/12: 2 in 6.5, 2 higher.

91075 Detective Comics #34 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1939) CGC VF/NM 9.0 Off-white to white pages. Its unexpected to see this book in this grade, but scrutinize our scan and we think youll agree that this copy is the real deal. As with so many of the Wright books, the fact that this one lacks any sort of cover marking is a major plus. The large logo block at the top is simply outstanding! This is the last non-Batman cover of Detective Comics. The cover art is by Creig Flessel. Overstreet 2011 VF/ NM 9.0 value = $8,718; NM- 9.2 value = $12,500. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 9.0, 1 higher.
91076 Detective Comics #35 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1940) CGC VG 4.0 Off-white to white pages. One of Overstreets Top 100 Golden Age books, this is a fixture on wantlists and sells for a pretty penny in any grade as the Guide values annually scramble to catch up. So why are there so few copies that are graded higher than this VG? Its because surviving copies are almost invariably in really bad shape or restored (or both). The book is in-demand for a number of reasons. The creepy hypodermic needle cover is a favorite (note how long Batmans ears are!). Then theres the fact that its just the fifth cover appearance of the character (the previous ones being #27, 29, 31, and 33). And many remember the issues splash panel with an angry Batman holding a smoking gun... yes, we said a gun! Its been three years since weve offered a copy that wasnt restored or a beater, and plenty of demand has built up in that time. Overstreet 2011 VG 4.0 value = $5,000. CGC census 1/12: 4 in 4.0, 4 higher.

The Joker story that was intended for this issue was instead used in Batman #1. The issue also had the origin and first appearance of Clayface. And of course its an early outing for Robin who first appeared in #38. Bob Kane and Jerry Robinson cover and art. Overstreet 2011 VF/ NM 9.0 value = $11,506; NM- 9.2 value = $16,500.

One of the most remarkable aspects of this collection is the way Billy Wrights purchases were almost exclusively comics that became highly collectible later.

91096 More Fun Comics #38 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1938) CGC VF/NM 9.0 Offwhite to white pages. This is one of just two copies graded above 4.0! Early More Funs are notoriously tough, and this ones 12/38 cover date puts it earlier than Detective #27 and before many Golden Age publishers had even begun publishing. Creig Flessel cover. Overstreet 2011 VF/NM 9.0 value = $2,088; NM- 9.2 value = $2,800. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 9.0, 1 higher.
91097 More Fun Comics #53 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1940) CGC GD 2.0 Off-white to white pages. Currently #21 on Overstreets Top 100 Golden Age books list. The second appearance of the Spectre is here, the first time in a story that hes in costume. Despite the modest grade, note how few copies have been graded higher. Bernard Baily created one of his most famous covers for the issue (a bondage cover). CGC notes, 3 pieces of tape on interior cover. Tape stains on spine. Overstreet 2011 GD 2.0 value = $3,250. CGC census 1/12: 2 in 2.0, 8 higher. 91093 Flash Comics #11 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1940) CGC NM9.2 Off-white to white pages. Tied with the Mile High copy at the top of CGCs census.

91098 More Fun Comics #54 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1940) CGC VF/NM 9.0 White pages. One of Overstreets 100 most valuable Golden Age books, this one has a classic cover featuring the Spectre, possibly the best cover of the run. The Spectre is as huge as he is frightening on this one. Its a war cover of sorts, yet the Spectre doesnt take a side, seeming to be above such things. Gerber calls the book scarce. Bernard Baily cover art. Overstreet 2011 VF/NM 9.0 value = $23,563; NM- 9.2 value = $34,000. CGC census 1/12: 2 in 9.0, 2 higher.

91099 More Fun Comics #55 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1940) CGC VF- 7.5 White pages. The first appearance of Dr. Fate. Its been five years since weve offered this issue in any grade, so we can see why both Overstreet and Gerber gave it the designation scarce. This issue guides at one-quarter the price of the Spectres debut in #52, yet its no easier to find in high grade than #52 is! Of course, its also one of the earliest Spectre outings, drawn by Bernard Baily who also did the cover art. Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $12,750. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 7.5, 2 higher.
91101 More Fun Comics #57 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1940) CGC NM- 9.2 Off-white to white pages. Only the Nova Scotia copy (9.4 has been graded higher), and unlike that copy, this one (like most Billy Wright books) has no writing on the cover. Its a strong showcase for Bernard Bailys cover featuring the Spectre, an intimidating superhero indeed. Overstreet 2011 NM- 9.2 value = $8,000. CGC census 1/12: 2 in 9.2, 1 higher.
91100 More Fun Comics #56 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1940) CGC VF+ 8.5 White pages. This is one of the most valuable issues of this titles run, thanks largely to the classic cover. This is the first cover appearance of Dr. Fate, his second appearance overall. This issue also has the first appearance of Congo Bill, who was an Action Comics regular for many years and also briefly had his own series. Howard Sherman is credited with the unusual cover art. When Comic Book Marketplace asked experts to rank the scarcity of More Fun issues, this was the only one mentioned by four of the five experts. Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $6,117; VF/NM 9.0 value = $10,809. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 8.5, 2 higher.
91102 More Fun Comics #58 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1940) CGC NM 9.4 Off-white to white pages. Tying the Mile High copy for highestgraded on a book like this should make the most hardened skeptic take this new pedigree seriously. This book is tough in any grade with just 7 unrestored copies on CGCs census in total! Incidentally this has the same page quality as the Mile High. Also, while the Mile High has a penciled code on the logo, this copy has no marking. Just sayin. Spectre cover by Bernard Baily. Overstreet 2011 NM- 9.2 value = $8,000. CGC census 1/12: 2 in 9.4, none higher.

91103 More Fun Comics #59 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1940) CGC VF+ 8.5 Off-white pages. Only the Larson and Mile High copies have been graded higher, and we think this copy actually compares favorably to the Larson copy (a scan of which can be found in our online archives). Spectre cover by Bernard Baily. Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $3,154; VF/ NM 9.0 value = $5,577. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 8.5, 2 higher.
91106 Movie Comics #1 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1939) CGC FN+ 6.5 White pages. Unique concept had stories told with colorized movie stills. This became the first DC title to get cancelled, and as Paul Levitz noted, comics tied to films wouldnt become a major product for decades thereafter. Overstreet 2011 FN 6.0 value = $1,098; VF 8.0 value = $2,562. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 6.5, 6 higher.
91107 New Adventure Comics #20 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1937) CGC FN/VF 7.0 Off-white to white pages. To put the 10/37 cover date in perspective: just 13 comic books came out that month from all publishers put together! By early 1940 that figure would rise to some 50 a month. Creig Flessel, whose dramatic covers are on display elsewhere in this section of the catalog, showed his humorous side here. Overstreet 2011 FN 6.0 value = $1,080; VF 8.0 value = $1,980. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 7.0, 3 higher.
91104 More Fun Comics #60 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1940) CGC NM+ 9.6 Off-white to white pages. Previously the highest-graded copy of this issue was 9.2, so this 9.6 comes close to leaving us speechless (only three copies have received grades above 7.5). The Spectre has never looked more fearsome than on this cover by Bernard Baily. Overstreet 2011 NM- 9.2 value = $8,000. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 9.6, none higher.
91108 New Adventure Comics #22 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1937) CGC FN 6.0 Cream to off-white pages. Just the third copy weve ever offered of this early issue. Its a Gerber 8 and deservedly so. Creig Flessel supplied the cover art (if you cant make it out on the scan: the two kids are at the real North Pole with a letter addressed to Santa Claus!). Overstreet 2011 FN 6.0 value = $960. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 6.0, 1 higher.

91109 New Adventure Comics #23 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1938) CGC FN- 5.5 Off-white pages. Just the second time weve offered this issue in ten years of auctioning Golden Age comics. The issue is a Gerber 8. Creig Flessel cover art. Overstreet 2011 FN 6.0 value = $810. CGC census 1/12: 2 in 5.5, 2 higher. 91110 New Comics #2 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1936) CGC GD 2.0 Offwhite to white pages. The earliest comic in the Billy Wright collection, this is just the ninth comic issue DC ever published. Its also an extremely rare issue that made Comic Book Marketplaces list of the 50 Rarest Golden Age Comic Books. In fact, that list had it tied with New Fun #2 as the rarest newsstand-distributed DCs. The fact that a 2.0 is the highest-graded unrestored copy on CGCs census says a lot about the rarity as well! New Comics eventually became Adventure Comics, and it was just DCs second series, with New Fun being the first. New Comics was just the second anthology title with original, continuing characters remember that its competition on the stands was Famous Funnies, which though significant, was an all-reprint affair. Making its first appearance in this issue was the long-running Federal Men feature, the work of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, more than two years before Action Comics introduced their character Superman. The cover art is credited to R. B. Leffingwell. CGC notes, Moderate amount of tape on interior cover. Overstreet 2011 GD 2.0 value = $1,229. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 2.0, none higher.
91111 New York Worlds Fair Comics 1939 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1939) CGC FN5.5 White pages. One of Overstreets Top 100 Golden Age books despite not having a NMvalue listed in the Guide. This early DC, is the first full-color, non-reprint superhero annual. Superman is shown with blonde hair (he had been appearing in comics for less than a year at the time), and this comic, cover-dated 4/39, pre-dates Detective Comics #27, which explains why Batman doesnt appear here! Also, this issue has the first published appearance of the Sandman (compare with the first Sandman story in Adventure #40, offered in this same section). Despite all of this, and as collectible as the issue is now, the comic was not a strong seller when it was released owing to the unheard-of 25 cover price. Vin Sullivan and Fred Guardineer are the cover artists. Overstreet 2011 FN 6.0 value = $5,100. CGC census 1/12: 3 in 5.5, 6 higher.
91112 New York Worlds Fair Comics 1940 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1940) CGC VF- 7.5 White pages. The first white pages copy of this one weve ever offered. Its worth noting that many of the other top pedigree collections did not have a top-drawer copy of this book, for example Larson (6.0), Mile High (5.5) and Crippen D Copy (3.5). Also, while most copies weve seen (pedigree or otherwise) have had some sort of writing on the cover, this does not. This cover was the first time Batman, Robin, and Superman all appeared together, and its also the first published comic work by Jack Burnley. We believe its also the first time any of these characters were drawn by someone besides their creators (or the creators studios at any rate). Also, while the 25 Worlds Fair comic of the previous year was a flop, this one at 15 was a hit and led to the long-running Worlds Best/Worlds Finest series. Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $6,915. CGC census 1/12: 4 in 7.5, 1 higher.
91113 Star Spangled Comics #1 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1941) CGC Qualified VF/NM 9.0 Off-white pages. For comparisons sake, CGCs census for universal grades is topped by three copies at 9.0. Origin and first appearance of Tarantula. Robot cover by Hal Sherman. CGC notes, Piece out of 15th and 16th page, affects story. Incomplete. Overstreet 2011 GD 2.0 value= $503; VG 4.0 value= $1,006; FN 6.0 value= $1,509; VF 8.0 value= $3,672; VF/NM 9.0 value = $6,486; NM- 9.2 value = $9,300.
91114 Star Spangled Comics #2 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1941) CGC NM 9.4 Off-white pages. The only copy graded above 9.0 by CGC to date. Check out the StarSpangled Kid and his adult sidekick Stripesy, as well as their beetle-browed foe Dr. Weerd! Hal Sherman cover and art. Overstreet 2011 NM- 9.2 value = $2,550.

91115 All Winners Comics #1 Billy Wright pedigree (Timely, 1941) CGC NM- 9.2 Off-white to white pages. One of Overstreets top 50 Golden Age books and its much sought-after in any grade. All of the best Timely characters are on hand: The Human Torch, Toro, Captain America, Bucky, and the Sub-Mariner are joined by the Angel and the Black Marvel. These heroes starred in individual features, however the Stan Lee-penned text feature has the first appearance of the All-Winners Squad, the first Timely/Marvel superhero group.

91117 All Winners Comics #7 Billy Wright pedigree (Timely, 1942) CGC FN 6.0 Off-white pages. Fighting the Japanese and Germans on the same beach is a tall order! Another delightfully busy Alex Schomburg cover featuring Captain America, the Human Torch, and the Sub-Mariner. Overstreet 2011 FN 6.0 value = $852. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 6.0, 2 higher.
91116 All Winners Comics #2 Billy Wright pedigree (Timely, 1941) CGC NM- 9.2 Off-white to white pages. How could this fail to bring a smile to any Golden Age fans face? The black cover looks fantastic here, and so does the light-colored ground at the bottom which is usually easily smudgeable this is a 9.2 for a reason! And this book is a great example of Golden Age fare the art may have been crude but this patriotic cover is still stirring, and must have been irresistible to kids back then. The Human Torch, Captain America, and the Sub-Mariner scarcely need an introduction of course. But note also that the Whizzer is wearing his very early costume and making one of his first appearances close on the heels of his U.S.A. Comics debut. And this early Destroyer appearance (thats him in the striped pants) was released at the same time as that characters debut in Mystic Comics #6. Jack Binder cover art. Overstreet 2011 NM- 9.2 value = $9,500. CGC census 12/11: 2 in 9.2, none higher.

91118 Captain America Comics #2 Billy Wright pedigree (Timely, 1941) CGC NM 9.4 Off-white pages. One of Overstreets top 100 books, this is the second appearance of Captain America, but the first appearance of the Cap costume most are familiar with, including his trademark, the round shield. The classic cover is by the great Joe Simon, who just passed away a few weeks ago. As with issue #1, Adolf Hitler himself was the featured cover villain, though this was before the United States had entered World War II. As Simon noted in his autobiography, Cap was the first major comic book hero to take a political stand... as for capturing the attention of the comic book-reading public, it was natural that the adventures of our new red, white, and blue hero would have the advantage over the others who were still challenging the mad scientists or the hoodlums robbing the corner candy store. The red block at the top of the comic looks immaculate here, and this might rank with the Marvel Comics #1 as the most exciting book of the auction for the Timely fan. Overstreet 2011 NM- 9.2 value = $38,000. CGC census 1/12: 2 in 9.4, none higher.

91119 Captain America Comics #3 Billy Wright pedigree (Timely, 1941) CGC NM- 9.2 Off-white pages. We havent handled a copy even close to this one! Check out the bondage cover featuring the Red Skull and drawn by Alex Schomburg. But this issue also has an interesting distinction: the first comic book work of Stan Lee, on the text feature Captain America Foils the Traitors Revenge. Overstreet 2011 NM- 9.2 value = $30,000. CGC census 1/12: 2 in 9.2, 1 higher.

91120 Captain America Comics #23 Billy Wright pedigree (Timely, 1943) CGC FN/VF 7.0 Off-white to white pages. The best copy weve ever offered of an issue that doesnt seem to come around very often.

91121 Daring Mystery Comics #6 Billy Wright pedigree (Timely, 1940) CGC VF/NM 9.0 Cream to off-white pages. By far the highestgraded copy weve offered. The Simon and Kirby team put their stamp on this issue, drawing the cover and writing and illustrating two stories, one introducing Marvel Boy (not the same character who briefly had his own series). Overstreet 2011 VF/NM 9.0 value = $5,925; NM- 9.2 value = $8,500. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 9.0, 1 higher.
91123 The Human Torch #3 (#2) Billy Wright pedigree (Timely, 1940) CGC NM- 9.2 Off-white pages. Youll love seeing this one in high grade! Low-grade or unrestored copies can be found, but a copy like this turns up very seldom. To explain the issue numbering: the one-shot Red Raven #1 (available elsewhere in this auction) had its numbering continued by Human Torch #2, and this was the issue after that, thus its the second issue despite being #3. Alex Schomburg cover art. Overstreet 2011 NM- 9.2 value = $10,800. CGC census 1/12: 2 in 9.2, 2 higher.
91124 The Human Torch #4 (#3) Billy Wright pedigree (Timely, 1941) CGC VF+ 8.5 Off-white pages. Alex Schomburg cover art. Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $3,278; VF/NM 9.0 value = $5,789. CGC census 1/12: 4 in 8.5, 3 higher. 91122 Daring Mystery Comics #7 Billy Wright pedigree (Timely, 1941) CGC VF/NM 9.0 Off-white to white pages. Overstreet credits the cover art to Alex Schomburg.

Two years after the Human Torch and the Sub-Mariner had their famous donnybrook in Marvel Mystery #9 (offered in this same auction), the two began another multi-issue battle here.

MARVELS FIRST COMIC BOOK

91126 Marvel Comics #1 Billy Wright pedigree (Timely, 1939) CGC VF- 7.5 Offwhite to white pages. Our first reaction upon seeing this copy was: what separates it from the 8.0, 8.5 and 9.0 copies that are known to exist? The overall impression of the book in-hand is on a par with all of the above, with perhaps only the famous Pay Copy a being a clearly superior book. Fortunately since all of the above have been in previous Heritage auctions, collectors can submit all of these to their own scrutiny using the archived scans on our website. This book does have scuffing along the spine, but we can see no other defect of any note. If youve seen multiple copies of this key, you know that its often found printed a bit out of register, with the Human Torchs chin appearing as a double line. Theres no such problem here, and the off-white to white page quality designation matches the best weve seen. Its worth noting that some of the copies from other pedigrees are restored books, for example the Allentown and Kansas City copies. And some of the other top copies such as the Pay Copy and the Larson copy do have prominent markings on the cover, while this has none. For many years, Marvel Comics #1 was listed as the most valuable comic book by the Overstreet Guide. In the meantime it is #4 behind Action #1, Detective #27, and Superman #1, but for the Marvel fan theres no topping this issue here. Its the first comic the company ever published. Certainly no comic book can claim two first appearances as significant as those of the Human Torch and the Sub-Mariner, who both made their debuts here (the latter had been used in a promotional comic previously, but hadnt appeared in a newsstand publication until this issue). And that made this comic the start of the Marvel Universe, a set of characters that left its mark on American popular culture, selling millions of comic books and starring in TV shows, movies, and more. The publisher that produced the issue used many different company names over the years and is usually referred to as Timely, but its only fitting that when the publisher finally had one official name years later, it took its name from this very comic. After #1 the title of the series was changed to Marvel Mystery, and its a special thrill to us to be offering the first seven issues of the series, and eleven of the first twelve, together in one consecutive run. We havent even mentioned the host of other characters making debuts here, the most notable of which are Ka-Zar and the Angel. The cover, showing the Human Torch, is by science fiction pulp illustrator Frank R. Paul. Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $135,000. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 7.5, 4 higher.

This was the first issue with Mystery in the title, #1 being simply called Marvel Comics. Like many of the early covers, this one featured the original Angel. Claire Moe is the cover artist.

This issues tough to find even in a mid grade like 6.0, and the copy offered here has strong eye appeal for the grade. As with other comics in this collection, the absence of any sort of cover writing or marking is a major plus. Alex Schomburg cover featuring the Angel. Overstreet 2011 FN 6.0 value = $5,700.

91129 Marvel Mystery Comics #4 Billy Wright pedigree (Timely, 1940) CGC NM- 9.2 Off-white to white pages. A glance at the CGC census report speaks volumes about how tough this book is in high grade. The copy offered here is the sole highest-graded, and one of just three copies graded above 5.5 to date (the others being the 9.0 Nicolas Cage copy and a 7.5). The Guide value of the book has gone up almost 50% in just the last few years, owing to both the scarcity in high grade and the books significance. Its the first time the Sub-Mariner appeared on a cover for one. Its also just the second time a swastika appeared on the cover of a comic book. Alex Schomburgs cover art for these earliest Timelys displayed a different style than his later work, and this superb copy certainly lets you enjoy his efforts to the fullest. Overstreet 2011 NM- 9.2 value = $33,000. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 9.2, none higher.

91130 Marvel Mystery Comics #5 Billy Wright pedigree (Timely, 1940) CGC VF+ 8.5 Off-white to white pages. Were proud to offer the highestgraded copy of this early Timely. Both Gerber and Overstreet call the issue scarce, and we consider it the toughest issue of Marvel Mystery to find. Of course, finding it in high grade is an even taller order. The only copy weve seen that comes close is the Lamont Larson copy (8.0), of course the Billy Wright copy has the obvious advantage of no writing on the cover. This is currently #32 on Overstreets list of the top Golden Age books. Its just the second time the Human Torch appeared on a cover, and note that his look here is a lot closer to the way hes usually portrayed than the way he looked on the cover of Marvel Comics #1. The cover art by Alex Schomburg is a classic. Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $20,000; VF/NM 9.0 value = $38,500. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 8.5, none higher.

This mind-boggler should impress you even if the previous five have somehow failed to a 9.2 copy of a book thats eagerly scooped up no matter what the grade! The cover by Alex Schomburg stars the ever-dashing Angel, who was featured on some of the early covers before giving way to bigger stars. The cover concept of saving someone from hooded menaces in an underground lair would be re-used many times by Timely but this was one of the earliest of such scenes. Overstreet 2011 NM- 9.2 value = $18,000. CGC census 1/12: 2 in 9.2, none higher.

One of Overstreets Top 20 Golden Age books, this key is prized not only for its scarcity but also because of the significance of the Human Torch versus Sub-Mariner battle shown on the cover. This battle was the first time in comics that two super heroes appeared together in one story (the adventure spilled over into issues #8 and 10). The battle between the two heroes has been reprised, reprinted, and paid homage to many times in the ensuing decades. The cover art is credited to Bill Everett and Alex Schomburg.

This was the fifth and last Angel cover of the series. All that attention tells us that perhaps the publisher envisioned the Angel as the breakout star, and perhaps if Kirby had drawn his stories he would have been.

The creative mind of Alex Schomburg gave the Human Torch and Toro a tough challenge in the form of an unbelievable Nazi fortress! This issue is also unusual in that the back cover is a full page pin-up of the Sub-Mariner. Overstreet 2011 NM- 9.2 value = $5,300. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 9.2, none higher.

91142 Marvel Mystery Comics #40 Billy Wright pedigree (Timely, 1943) CGC VF/NM 9.0 Off-white to white pages. Weve never seen a copy of this book with such bold cover colors what a showcase for the classic cover art of Alex Schomburg! If you judged this book on the front cover alone it would be a 9.4, and note that this copy has no writing or marking on the cover of any kind. We seem to recall one ace Timely collector calling this the best cover ever produced by that publisher. Its tough to argue with that giving the striking zeppelin attack scene. Our bidders in Iceland (and Heritage actually has quite a few) might be interested to note that that fair nation is being defended by the Human Torch here. Overstreet 2011 VF/NM 9.0 value = $3,505; NM- 9.2 value = $5,000. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 9.0, none higher.
91144 Mystic Comics #5 Billy Wright pedigree (Timely, 1941) CGC VF 8.0 Off-white to white pages. Alex Schomburg is the cover artist. Timely was still trying out new heroes all the time, and this issue has the first appearances of three: the Black Marvel, the Terror, and the Blazing Skull. Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $2,600.

91145 Red Raven Comics #1 Billy Wright pedigree (Timely, 1940) CGC VF/NM 9.0 Off-white pages. For all those who werent able to get the 9.0 Mile High copy offered in our last auction (and thats a lot of people, given the stiff price) will get a second chance at a pedigree copy in the same grade here. Only the Denver copy has been graded higher as of this writing. This issue features the first signed work of the king of the comics, Jack Kirby. That plus a reputation for being hard to find in high grade have propelled this issue onto Overstreets top 100 Golden Age books list. A unique book that never ceases to fascinate!

One of Overstreets Top 100 Golden Age books, this one featured the character who came to prominence in the pages of Marvel Mystery. This titles run had some very strong covers, with Alex Schomburgs effort here getting the run off to a great start. Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $23,000; VF/NM 9.0 value = $44,000.

91148 Amazing Adventure Funnies #1 Billy Wright pedigree (Centaur, 1940) CGC VF+ 8.5 Off-white to white pages. William Rowland cover. Fantom of the Fair and Skyrocket Steele stories. Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $1,114; VF/NM 9.0 value = $1,907. CGC census 1/12: 2 in 8.5, 1 higher.
91147 USA Comics #1 Billy Wright pedigree (Timely, 1941) CGC NM- 9.2 Off-white to white pages. Its the highest-graded copy of one of Overstreets top 100 comic books! While weve offered copies close to this grade before, theyve all had some sort of cover marking, and we love the fact that this copy has none. The book has the first appearance of the Whizzer, and while the other characters debuting here arent memorable, the creators certainly are: Simon and Kirby drew the cover as well as one interior page, and Basil Wolverton drew the Rockman story. By the way: according to the late Joe Simon, Timely publisher Martin Goodman had some misgivings about the title of this series, fearing objection on the part of the government. His lawyer convinced him that Timely would be in the clear if they took out the periods in U.S.A. Thus, this is the only cover on which the periods appear, with stars used thereafter. Overstreet 2011 NM- 9.2 value = $20,000. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 9.2, none higher.
91149 Amazing-Man Comics #5 Billy Wright pedigree (Centaur, 1939) CGC VF- 7.5 Off-white pages. By far the most valuable Centaur comic, this is on Overstreets top 100 Golden Age books list. The outlandish cover is just part of the appeal. The number 5 notwithstanding, this was the first issue of the series, making Amazing-Man just the second superhero to headline his own title only Superman did so before him. Even Batman was still just the lead feature in Detective, half a year before Batman #1. Also note that Amazing-Man, a Bill Everett creation, hit stands a month before Marvel Comics #1, featuring Everetts Sub-Mariner. Overstreet and Gerber both call this book rare. Cover art by Everett. Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $11,600. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 7.5, 2 higher.

91150 AmazingMan Comics #7 Billy Wright pedigree (Centaur, 1939) CGC VF- 7.5 Off-white to white pages. The only copy graded above 5.0 by CGC to date. Bill Everett cover. Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $1,651. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 7.5, none higher. 91153 Amazing Mystery Funnies V2#6 Billy Wright pedigree (Centaur, 1939) CGC VF+ 8.5 Off-white to white pages. This is the first copy that Heritage has ever offered. Like some other Centaurs in this section, this is a Bill Everett shop production that pre-dates Marvel Comics #1, with Everett himself credited with the cover art (featuring Air-Sub DX). Everetts Skyrocket Steele, the Buck Rogers-like star of the early run of the book, ended his run here to make room for the next issues Fantom of the Fair. Bidders take note: High-grade Centaur is not a phrase used often! Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $538; VF/NM 9.0 value = $919. CGC census 1/12: 2 in 8.5, 1 higher.

91151 Amazing Mystery Funnies V1#2 Billy Wright pedigree (Centaur, 1938) CGC FN/VF 7.0 Off-white to white pages. Just the third copy that has ever crossed our path, this one is tied with the Mile High copy at the top of CGCs census. Like V1#1 this has a Bill Everett cover, but this one has interior art by him as well, his first interior work in comics. Will Eisner was also a contributor. Also note the quaint cover blurb that tells us that Skyrocket Steele appears In Complete Pictures. Overstreet 2011 FN 6.0 value = $600; VF 8.0 value = $1,280. CGC census 1/12: 3 in 7.0, none higher.
91155 Amazing Mystery Funnies #19 Billy Wright pedigree (Centaur, 1940) CGC VF 8.0 Off-white to white pages. Its been nine years since we last offered a copy of this one. The Fantom of the Fair and Speed Centaur are the best-known characters in the book, though this issue had the only cover appearance of Tippy Taylor, drawn by Grieg Chapian. Also, note that Basil Wolverton was a contributor. Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $621. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 8.0, 1 higher.
91156 Arrow #1 Billy Wright pedigree (Centaur, 1940) CGC VF 8.0 White pages. The only copy graded above 7.0. The Arrow graduated from Funny Pages to his own book at a time when not many characters had done that! Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $2,240. CGC census 1/12: 2 in 8.0, none higher.
91152 Amazing Mystery Funnies V2#5 Billy Wright pedigree (Centaur, 1939) CGC VF- 7.5 White pages. If this classic cover by Bill Everett doesnt look familiar its because this is a very tough book to find. Heritage last offered a copy nine years ago (and it was a beater at that), and only the Mile High copy has been graded higher. The longer we look at this cover, the more inclined we are to rank it among the best Everett ever did. And if the imagery reminds you of Everetts Sub-Mariner art, youre not wrong... except that this issue preceded the entire Timely line by several months. While coming across this issue in 7.5 is quite a find, we actually wonder why it didnt grade out even higher than that, and we encourage you to take a close look at the book. Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $1,197. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 7.5, 1 higher.
91154 Amazing Mystery Funnies V2#9 Billy Wright pedigree (Centaur, 1939) CGC VF/NM 9.0 Off-white to white pages. The Fantom of the Fair! What more brilliant concept was there in 1939 than a hero who stalks the New York Worlds Fair and has his secret hideout underneath it? This is the characters second cover appearance and the first to clearly show the Fair setting on the cover. Paul Gustavson is the cover artist. This is the only copy graded above 7.5 by CGC to date, and the black block on the cover looks superb, as does the absence of any sort of cover marking. Overstreet 2011 VF/NM 9.0 value = $919; NM- 9.2 value = $1,300. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 9.0, none higher.
91157 Cowboy Comics #13 Billy Wright pedigree (Centaur, 1938) CGC VG/FN 5.0 Off-white to white pages. There are just two issues of Cowboy Comics, and incredibly, we had never offered either of them before today, nor had CGC certified a single copy of either! So we certainly see why Overstreet calls #13 rare and Gerber gave it a scarcity rating of 8. This was a single-theme comic back when very few such comics were published. The release date is just one month after Action #1, a time when Centaur was publishing more titles than DC was. The reason for the #13 is that Cowboy was an entitling of Star Ranger, and with #15, the title was changed again to Star Ranger Funnies. Also note this issues neat-o Centaur logo which the publisher did not use very often. Overstreet 2011 VG 4.0 value = $270; FN 6.0 value = $405. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 5.0, none higher.

91158 Fantoman #2 Billy Wright pedigree (Centaur, 1940) CGC VF+ 8.5 Off-white to white pages. The first unrestored copy we have ever offered, and one of two that CGC has certified. Any Centaur is a tough find in this grade! This is actually the first issue of the title, with numbering continued from Amazing Adventure Funnies #1 (offered in this same auction). Fantoman is the onetime Fantom of the Fair, the name change being dictated by the New York Worlds Fair coming to an end. Also featured in the issue was the Ermine... no, not a wealthy womans coat come to life, but a heroic woodsman type. Alas, this was his only appearance. Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $704; VF/NM 9.0 value = $1,202. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 8.5, 1 higher.
91160 Keen Detective Funnies V2#2 Billy Wright pedigree (Centaur, 1939) CGC VF+ 8.5 White pages. The only copy graded above 3.5 by CGC to date. The only unrestored copy we have ever offered. A Gerber 8 (one of just two issues of the series to receive that scarcity rating). Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $493; VF/NM 9.0 value = $847. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 8.5, none higher.
91162 Keen Detective Funnies #10 Billy Wright pedigree (Centaur, 1938) CGC VF+ 8.5 Off-white to white pages. The first copy we have ever offered or CGC has ever graded! Since this series had more than one #10, let us stress that this is the third issue of the series, dated October 1938. The scarcity aside, how often do you find any Centaur graded 8.5? Maurice Gutwirth cover art. Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $538; VF/NM 9.0 value = $919. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 8.5, none higher.
91159 Funny Picture Stories #1 Billy Wright pedigree (Comics Magazine, 1936) CGC FN 6.0 Off-white to white pages. Named one of the 50 Rarest Golden Age Comics by Comic Book Marketplace. Just the second copy Heritage has ever offered. The Clock was the very first masked comic book hero. He became a regular feature in this title starting with this issue just after making his first appearance in Funny Pages that same month. (By the way, for a detailed explanation of how Comics Magazine related to Centaur, see pg. 323 of Gerbers Photo Journal Vol. 1.) Overstreet 2011 FN 6.0 value = $1,098. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 6.0, 2 higher.
91163 Masked Marvel #1 Billy Wright pedigree (Centaur, 1940) CGC VF/NM 9.0 White pages. This Keen Detective Comics character got a solo book here. The cover is by artist Sam Gilman, whose comic-book career was brief but who went on to a long stint as a character actor in Hollywood. Overstreet 2011 VF/NM 9.0 value = $1,838; NM- 9.2 value = $2,600. CGC census 1/12: 3 in 9.0, 2 higher.
91161 Keen Detective Funnies V2#7 Billy Wright pedigree (Centaur, 1939) CGC NM 9.4 Off-white to white pages. This is the only copy graded above 6.5 by CGC to date! This is a scarce book according to Overstreet and Gerber. This early issue was on the stands at the same time as Adventure #40, and also like that book, was a major turning point for its series. Its the first appearance of the Masked Marvel. Ben Thompson cover art. Overstreet 2011 NM- 9.2 value = $4,000. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 9.4, none higher.

91165 Blue Beetle #3 (Fox Features Syndicate, 1940) CGC VF/NM 9.0 Off-white to white pages. The only copy graded above 8.0 to date. This is one of our favorite Joe Simon solo covers! Overstreet 2011 VF/NM 9.0 value = $1,344; NM- 9.2 value = $1,900. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 9.0, none higher.
91167 Fantastic Comics #3 Billy Wright pedigree (Fox, 1940) CGC FN- 5.5 White pages. Youll see this classic Lou Fine robot cover reproduced in books quite often, but try finding a copy of the actual comic book! Weve only offered three previous copies in ten years, two of which were Poor. Note also that the only higher-graded copy is just one notch above this one at 6.0. This cover is considered one of Fines very best, and back when Comic Book Marketplace asked ace collectors for their favorite comic book covers, Fantastic #3 garnered a couple of mentions. Steve Carey noted The image... is simply unforgettable. Jon Signorelli noted, Fine [was] unencumbered by a collaborating artist; the detail is amazing, the robots simply pulp classics! We could scarcely hype the cover more but it could scarcely deserve it more look at it again, youll notice something you didnt see the first time! As an aside, the backup feature Stardust the SuperWizard was drawn (under a pseudonym) by cult-favorite artist Fletcher Hanks. Mike Benton notes that [Hanks] gave his hero unlimited powers and unbelievable anatomy. Overstreet 2011 FN 6.0 value = $4,500. CGC census 1/12: 2 in 5.5, 1 higher.
91166 Fantastic Comics #1 Billy Wright pedigree (Fox, 1939) CGC FN+ 6.5 White pages. Cover art by the great Lou Fine has put the early run of this series on a lot of wantlists. Samson made his first appearance in the issue. For that matter so did a certain Stardust... if that rings a bell, its because the features artist Henry Fletcher is the notorious Fletcher Hanks, who has become collectible of late. Overstreet 2011 FN 6.0 value = $1,491; VF 8.0 value = $3,628. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 6.5, 4 higher.
91168 The Flame #1 Billy Wright pedigree (Fox, 1940) CGC VF 8.0 Off-white to white pages. Blazing out of the pages of Wonderworld Comics, the Flame got his own book here, something only Superman, the Blue Beetle, and Batman had achieved to that point. Lou Fine interior art. Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $2,040. CGC census 1/12: 2 in 8.0, 2 higher.

91169 Green Mask #1 Billy Wright pedigree (Fox Features Syndicate, 1940) CGC FN/VF 7.0 Off-white to white pages. After appearing in Mystery Men (see elsewhere in this section) for about a year the character got his own series at a time when even luminaries like the Human Torch and Captain Marvel hadnt received that honor. Lou Fine cover. Overstreet 2011 FN 6.0 value = $1,011; VF 8.0 value = $2,359. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 7.0, 5 higher.
91171 Mystery Men Comics #3 Billy Wright pedigree (Fox, 1939) CGC VF- 7.5 Offwhite to white pages. A highly prized issue thanks to the Lou Fine cover. The Green Mask is the coverboy, while the Blue Beetle makes one of his earliest appearances inside. Its an early superhero comic, period, on the stands at the same time as Marvel Comics #1. Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $3,234. CGC census 1/12: 3 in 7.5, 2 higher.
91173 Weird Comics #1 Billy Wright pedigree (Fox Features Syndicate, 1940) CGC FN/ VF 7.0 Off-white to white pages. Weve only offered this one a handful of times in collectible condition. This is a superhero comic despite appearances, and a fairly early one, pre-dating the first appearances of Green Lantern and Captain America. It was also the first comic to have the word weird in the title, which is significant because that word would later be considered a big sales booster. George Tuska bondage cover. Overstreet 2011 FN 6.0 value = $1,458; VF 8.0 value = $3,550. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 7.0, 2 higher.
91170 Mystery Men Comics #1 Billy Wright pedigree (Fox, 1939) CGC VG 4.0 Off-white to white pages. We think youll like the front cover eye appeal of this one. The first appearance of the Blue Beetle just missed being one of Overstreets Top 100 Golden Age books. Now for the confusing part: the blue-masked character on the cover is not the Blue Beetle but the Green Mask, who starred on most of the early covers and later had his own series. You can take issue with the coloring but not with the drawing this bondage cover is by the great Lou Fine! The Blue Beetle turned out to have plenty of longevity, outlasting more than one of his publishers in fact. A version of him stars in DC comics in the present day. Overstreet 2011 VG 4.0 value = $2,000. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 4.0, 6 higher.
91172 Science Comics #1 Billy Wright pedigree (Fox, 1940) CGC VF 8.0 Off-white to white pages. The only copy graded above 7.0 by CGC to date. As such, this could be as exciting to the Fox fan as some of the Timelys and DCs in the collection are to those firms adherents! The cover art rather than the characters is the most notable aspect of this one. Sex and sadism and a superhero, rendered by the redoubtable Lou Fine, was how Comic Book Marketplace characterized the cover. We will note that the cover character, called Electro here, became Dynamo starting with the next issue, perhaps owing to the Electro whos in Marvel Mystery #4 (a book included in this same collection, by the way) which appeared the same month. In case youre wondering, the slight coloring error on the S in Comics appears on every copy of this issue. Bondage and hypodermic needle cover by Fine. Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $3,154. CGC census 1/12: 2 in 8.0, none higher.
91174 Wonderworld Comics #4 Billy Wright pedigree (Fox, 1939) CGC FN/VF 7.0 Offwhite to white pages. A superbly rendered Lou Fine cover that more collectors would number among their favorites if they had only seen it! This is just the fifth different copy weve offered in ten years. If youve never seen the issue in person, we should note that what might appear to be blotching or staining around the orange starburst is actually an unusual cloud effect in the cover art. Overstreet 2011 FN 6.0 value = $993; VF 8.0 value = $2,317. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 7.0, 1 higher.

91179 Hit Comics #5 Billy Wright pedigree (Quality, 1940) CGC VF 8.0 Off-white to white pages. The classic Lou Fine cover is enough to make this a desirable lot, but we should note that this book seldom comes up for sale in any grade this is just the fourth copy weve offered in ten years. Given the books black cover, its no sure thing that higher-graded copies will ever surface. This underwater cover is ranked by many among Fines very best, and you can see why.

91203 Daredevil Comics #1 Daredevil Battles Hitler - Billy Wright pedigree (Lev Gleason, 1941) CGC NM 9.4. Off-White to White pages. One of the most memorable covers of the Golden Age in anyones book. It was Bob Wood and Charles Biro who retouched Hitlers face into a silly expression. The book was both a superhero and supervillain team-up: Silver Streak and Daredevil joined forces, while the brownshirted fellow mentioned in the title had the Claw on his side. A bit overshadowed is the fact that Daredevil from Silver Streak Comics got his own book here (called Daredevil Comics from #2 on). Heroes breaking out into their own series seemed to catch Billy Wrights attention by our count, 12 of the first 23 such comics are represented in his collection. Overstreet 2011 NM- 9.2 value = $23,500. CGC census 1/12: 6 in 9.4, none higher.

91213 Our Flag Comics #1 Billy Wright pedigree (Ace, 1941) CGC NM- 9.2 White pages. The Unknown Soldier led a host of patriotic characters in this short-lived title. Though one copy (the Mile High) has been graded higher, this is a tough book to find in high grade otherwise, owing to the black cover. By the way, note the Nazi zombie on the cover! Overstreet 2011 NM- 9.2 value = $4,000. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 9.2, 1 higher.

91218 Shield-Wizard Comics #1 Billy Wright pedigree (MLJ, 1940) CGC NM- 9.2 Off-white to white pages. In the summer of 1940 taking a comic book character from an anthology title and giving him his own series was still a risky maneuver (DC and Fox were the only publishers who had yet attempted it) so MLJ hedged its bets slightly with this two-character showcase of the Shield (from Pep Comics) and the Wizard (from Top-Notch). Overstreet 2011 NM- 9.2 value = $9,500. CGC census 1/12: 2 in 9.2, 1 higher.
91215 Pep Comics #8 Billy Wright pedigree (MLJ, 1940) CGC NM- 9.2 Off-white to white pages. The only copy graded above 8.5 by CGC to date. See Americas first patriotic hero, the Shield, taking on some ancient Egyptians... these guys play for Cheops! These scenes of a maiden threatened by a branding iron would not go unnoticed by would-be censors in years to come. Irv Novick is the cover artist. Overstreet 2011 NM- 9.2 value = $2,000. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 9.2, none higher.

CGC census 1/12: 2 in 8.5, 2 higher.
91219 Silver Streak Comics #3 Billy Wright pedigree (Lev Gleason, 1940) CGC FN+ 6.5 Off-white to white pages. One of just three unrestored copies CGC has certified! Silver Streak, Speed Ace made his first appearance in this issue, drawn by Jack Cole. How is it that the title character first appeared in #3 of his own book? Its because the series name tied into the neat metallic effect used on the early covers. This cover has the most silver of any of them, perhaps a reason why more copies havent survived in decent condition. The Buck Rogers-like Lance Hale is the cover character. Overstreet 2011 FN 6.0 value = $993; VF 8.0 value = $2,317. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 6.5, 1 higher.

91220 SlamBang Comics #1 Billy Wright pedigree (Fawcett, 1940) CGC VF+ 8.5 Off-white to white pages. One month after hitting newsstands with Whiz #1, Fawcett brought out this book which ties Master #1 as the publishers second title. There were no costumed mystery men in this series, which is perhaps why it only lasted seven issues, but all of the issues have neat action covers.

Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $1,856; VF/NM 9.0 value = $3,178. CGC census 1/12: 2 in 8.5, 3 higher.

The March 1940 cover date puts it early in the superhero era (the Hour-Man debuted in Adventure #48 the same month. Also, while Steel Sterling was the first hero to be called The Man of Steel, his cover outing here does have similarities to Action #1. Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $1,651; VF/NM 9.0 value = $2,826. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 8.5, 2 higher.

This Auction is presented by Heritage Auctions, a d/b/a/ of Heritage Auctioneers & Galleries, Inc., or Heritage Auctions, Inc., or Heritage Numismatic Auctions, Inc., or Heritage Vintage Sports Auctions, Inc., or Currency Auctions of America, Inc., as identified with the applicable licensing information on the title page of the catalog or on the HA.com Internet site (the Auctioneer). The Auction is conducted under these Terms and Conditions of Auction and applicable state and local law. Announcements and corrections from the podium and those made through the Terms and Conditions of Auctions appearing on the Internet at HA.com supersede those in the printed catalog. Buyers Premium: 2. All bids are subject to a Buyers Premium which is in addition to the placed successful bid: Fifteen percent (15%) on Arms & Armor, Currency, US Coin, and World & Ancient Coin Auctions lots; except that the World and Ancient Coin Auctions 3003 & 3018 shall have a Buyers Premium of 19.5%; Nineteen and one-half percent (19.5%) on Americana & Political, Civil War & Militaria, Comic, Manuscript, Movie Poster, Space Exploration, Sports Collectibles, Texana, Wine, and Gallery Auction (sealed bid auctions of mostly bulk numismatic material) lots; For all other categories not listed above, twenty-five percent (25%) on the first $50,000 (minimum $14), twenty percent (20%) of any amount between $50,000 and $1,000,000, and twelve percent (12%) of any amount over $1,000,000. Auction Venues: 3. The following Auctions are conducted solely on the Internet: Heritage Weekly Internet Auctions (Coin, Currency, Comics, Rare Books, Jewelry & Watches, Guitars & Musical Instruments, and Vintage Movie Posters); Heritage Monthly Internet Auctions (Sports, World Coins and Rare Wine). Signature Auctions and Grand Format Auctions accept bids from the Internet, telephone, fax, or mail first, followed by a floor bidding session; HeritageLive! and real- time telephone bidding are available to registered clients during these auctions. Bidders: 4. Any person participating or registering for the Auction agrees to be bound by and accepts these Terms and Conditions of Auction (Bidder(s)). 5. All Bidders must meet Auctioneers qualifications to bid. Any Bidder who is not a client in good standing of the Auctioneer may be disqualified at Auctioneers sole option and will not be awarded lots. Such determination may be made by Auctioneer in its sole and unlimited discretion, at any time prior to, during, or even after the close of the Auction. Auctioneer reserves the right to exclude any person from the auction. 6. If an entity places a bid, then the person executing the bid on behalf of the entity agrees to personally guarantee payment for any successful bid. Credit: 7. In order to place bids, Bidders who have not established credit with the Auctioneer must either furnish satisfactory credit information (including two collectibles-related business references) or supply valid credit card information along with a social security number, well in advance of the Auction. Bids placed through our Interactive Internet program will only be accepted from preregistered Bidders. Bidders who are not members of HA.com or affiliates should preregister at least 48 hours before the start of the first session (exclusive of holidays or weekends) to allow adequate time to contact references. Credit will be granted at the discretion of Auctioneer. Additionally Bidders who have not previously established credit or who wish to bid in excess of their established credit history may be required to provide their social security number or the last four digits thereof so a credit check may be performed prior to Auctioneers acceptance of a bid. Check writing privileges and immediate delivery of merchandise may also be determined by pre-approval of credit based on a combination of criteria: HA.com history, related industry references, bank verification, a credit bureau report and/or a personal guarantee for a corporate or partnership entity in advance of the auction venue. Bidding Options: 8. Bids in Signature Auctions or Grand Format Auctions may be placed as set forth in the printed catalog section entitled Choose your bidding method. For auctions held solely on the Internet, see the alternatives on HA.com. Review at HA.com/common/howtobid.php. 9. Presentment of Bids: Non-Internet bids (including but not limited to podium, fax, phone and mail bids) are treated similar to floor bids in that they must be on-increment or at a half increment (called a cut bid). Any podium, fax, phone, or mail bids that do not conform to a full or half increment will be rounded up or down to the nearest full or half increment and this revised amount will be considered your high bid. 10. Auctioneers Execution of Certain Bids. Auctioneer cannot be responsible for your errors in bidding, so carefully check that every bid is entered correctly. When identical mail or FAX bids are submitted, preference is given to the first received. To ensure the greatest accuracy, your written bids should be entered on the standard printed bid sheet and be received at Auctioneers place of business at least two business days before the Auction start. Auctioneer is not responsible for executing mail bids or FAX bids received on or after the day the first lot is sold, nor Internet bids submitted after the published closing time; nor is Auctioneer responsible for proper execution of bids submitted by telephone, mail, FAX, e-mail, Internet, or in person once the Auction begins. Bids placed electronically via the internet may not be withdrawn until your written request is received and acknowledged by Auctioneer (FAX: 214-443-8425); such requests must state the reason, and may constitute grounds for withdrawal of bidding privileges. Lots won by mail Bidders will not be delivered at the Auction unless prearranged. 11. Caveat as to Bid Increments. Bid increments (over the current bid level) determine the lowest amount you may bid on a particular lot. Bids greater than one increment over the current bid can be any whole dollar amount. It is possible under several circumstances for winning bids to be between increments, sometimes only $1 above the previous increment. Please see: How can I lose by less than an increment? on our website. Bids will be accepted in whole dollar amounts only. No buy or unlimited bids will be accepted. The following chart governs current bidding increments. Current Bid .....................Bid Increment Current Bid.......................Bid Increment <$10 .................................... $1 $20,000 - $29,999 .................$2,000 $10 - $29 ............................. $2 $30,000 - $49,999 .................$2,500 $30 - $49 ............................. $3 $50,000 - $99,999 .................$5,000 $50 - $99 ............................. $5 $100,000 - $199,999 .............$10,000 $100 - $199 ......................... $10 $200,000 - $299,999 .............$20,000 $200 - $299 ......................... $20 $300,000 - $499,999 .............$25,000 $300 - $499 ......................... $25 $500,000 - $999,999 .............$50,000 $500 - $999 ......................... $50 $1,000,000 - $1,999,999 .......$100,000 $1,000 - $1,999 ................... $100 $2,000,000 - $2,999,999 .......$200,000 $2,000 - $2,999 ................... $200 $3,000,000 - $4,999,999 .......$250,000 $3,000 - $4,999 ................... $250 $5,000,000 - $9,999,999 .......$500,000 $5,000 - $9,999 ................... $500 >$10,000,000 ........................$1,000,000 $10,000 - $19,999 ............... $1,000 12. If Auctioneer calls for a full increment, a bidder may request Auctioneer to accept a bid at half of the increment (Cut Bid) only once per lot. After offering a Cut Bid, bidders may continue to participate only at full increments. Off-increment bids may be accepted by the Auctioneer at Signature Auctions and Grand Format Auctions. If the Auctioneer solicits bids other than the expected increment, these bids will not be considered Cut Bids. Conducting the Auction: 13. Notice of the consignors liberty to place bids on his lots in the Auction is hereby made in accordance with Article 2 of the Texas Business and Commercial Code. A Minimum Bid is an amount below which the lot will not sell. THE CONSIGNOR OF PROPERTY MAY PLACE WRITTEN Minimum Bids ON HIS LOTS IN ADVANCE OF THE AUCTION; ON SUCH LOTS, IF THE HAMMER PRICE DOES NOT MEET THE Minimum Bid, THE CONSIGNOR MAY PAY A REDUCED COMMISSION ON THOSE LOTS. Minimum Bids are generally posted online several days prior to the Auction closing. For any successful bid placed by a consignor on his Property on the Auction floor, or by any means during the live session, or after the Minimum Bid for an Auction have been posted, we will require the consignor to pay full Buyers Premium and Sellers Commissions on such lot. 14. The highest qualified Bidder recognized by the Auctioneer shall be the Buyer. In the event of a tie bid, the earliest bid received or recognized wins. In the event of any dispute between any Bidders at an Auction, Auctioneer may at his sole discretion reoffer the lot. Auctioneers decision and declaration of the winning Bidder shall be final and binding upon all Bidders. Bids properly offered, whether by floor Bidder or other means of bidding, may on occasion be missed or go unrecognized; in such cases, the Auctioneer may declare the recognized bid accepted as the winning bid, regardless of whether a competing bid may have been higher. 15. Auctioneer reserves the right to refuse to honor any bid or to limit the amount of any bid, in its sole discretion. A bid is considered not made in Good Faith when made by an insolvent or irresponsible person, a person under the age of eighteen, or is not supported by satisfactory credit, collectibles references, or otherwise. Regardless of the disclosure of his identity, any bid by a consignor or his agent on a lot consigned by him is deemed to be made in Good Faith. Any person apparently appearing on the OFAC list is not eligible to bid. 16. Nominal Bids. The Auctioneer in its sole discretion may reject nominal bids, small opening bids, or very nominal advances. If a lot bearing estimates fails to open for 4060% of the low estimate, the Auctioneer may pass the item or may place a protective bid on behalf of the consignor. 17. Lots bearing bidding estimates shall open at Auctioneers discretion (approximately 50%-60% of the low estimate). In the event that no bid meets or exceeds that opening amount, the lot shall pass as unsold. 18. All items are to be purchased per lot as numerically indicated and no lots will be broken. Auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw, prior to the close, any lots from the Auction. 19. Auctioneer reserves the right to rescind the sale in the event of nonpayment, breach of a warranty, disputed ownership, auctioneers clerical error or omission in exercising bids and reserves, or for any other reason and in Auctioneers sole discretion. In cases of nonpayment, Auctioneers election to void a sale does not relieve the Bidder from their obligation to pay Auctioneer its fees (sellers and buyers premium) and any other damages or expenses pertaining to the lot. 20. Auctioneer occasionally experiences Internet and/or Server service outages, and Auctioneer periodically schedules system downtime for maintenance and other purposes, during which Bidders cannot participate or place bids. If such outages occur, we may at our discretion extend bidding for the Auction. Bidders unable to place their Bids through the Internet are directed to contact Client Services at 1-800-872-6467. 21. The Auctioneer, its affiliates, or their employees consign items to be sold in the Auction, and may bid on those lots or any other lots. Auctioneer or affiliates expressly reserve the right to modify any such bids at any time prior to the hammer based upon data made known to the Auctioneer or its affiliates. The Auctioneer may extend advances, guarantees, or loans to certain consignors. 22. The Auctioneer has the right to sell certain unsold items after the close of the Auction. Such lots shall be considered sold during the Auction and all these Terms and Conditions shall apply to such sales including but not limited to the Buyers Premium, return rights, and disclaimers. Payment: 23. All sales are strictly for cash in United States dollars (including U.S. currency, bank wire, cashier checks, travelers checks, eChecks, and bank money orders, and are subject to all reporting requirements). All deliveries are subject to good funds; funds being received in Auctioneers account before delivery of the Purchases; and all payments are subject to a clearing period. Auctioneer reserves the right to determine if a check constitutes good funds: checks drawn on a U.S. bank are subject to a ten business day hold, and thirty days when drawn on an international bank. Clients with pre-arranged credit status may receive immediate credit for payments via eCheck, personal or corporate checks. All others will be subject to a hold of 5 days, or more, for the funds to clear prior to releasing merchandise. (ref. T&C item 7 Credit for additional information.) Payments can be made 24-48 hours post auction from the My Orders page of the HA.com website. 24. Payment is due upon closing of the Auction session, or upon presentment of an invoice. Auctioneer reserves the right to void an invoice if payment in full is not received within 7 days after the close of the Auction. In cases of nonpayment, Auctioneers election to void a sale does not relieve the Bidder from their obligation to pay Auctioneer its fees (sellers and buyers premium) on the lot and any other damages pertaining to the lot. 25. Lots delivered to you, or your representative in the States of Texas, California, New York, or other states where the Auction may be held, are subject to all applicable state and local taxes, unless appropriate permits are on file with Auctioneer. (Note: Coins are only subject to sales tax in California on invoices under $1500 and in Texas on invoices under $1000. Check the Web site at: http://coins.ha.com/c/ref/sales-tax.zx for more details.) Bidder agrees to pay Auctioneer the actual amount of tax due in the event that sales tax is not properly collected due to: 1) an expired, inaccurate, inappropriate tax certificate or declaration, 2) an incorrect interpretation of the applicable statute, 3) or any other reason. The appropriate form or certificate must be on file at and verified by Auctioneer five days prior to Auction or tax must be paid; only if such form or certificate is received by Auctioneer within 4 days after the Auction can a refund of tax paid be made. Lots from different Auctions may not be aggregated for sales tax purposes. 26. In the event that a Bidders payment is dishonored upon presentment(s), Bidder shall pay the maximum statutory processing fee set by applicable state law. If you attempt to pay via eCheck and your financial institution denies this transfer from your bank account, or the payment cannot be completed using the selected funding source, you agree to complete payment using your credit card on file. 27. If any Auction invoice submitted by Auctioneer is not paid in full when due, the unpaid balance will bear interest at the highest rate permitted by law from the date of invoice until paid. Any invoice not paid when due will bear a three percent (3%) late fee on the invoice amount or three percent (3%) of any installment that is past due. If the Auctioneer refers any invoice to an attorney for collection, the buyer agrees to pay attorneys fees, court costs, and other collection costs incurred by Auctioneer. If Auctioneer assigns collection to its in-house legal staff, such attorneys time expended on the matter shall be compensated at a rate comparable to the hourly rate of independent attorneys. 28. In the event a successful Bidder fails to pay any amounts due, Auctioneer reserves the right to sell the lot(s) securing the invoice to any underbidders in the Auction that the lot(s) appeared, or at subsequent private or public sale, or relist the lot(s) in a future auction conducted by Auctioneer. A defaulting Bidder agrees to pay for the reasonable costs of resale (including a 10% sellers commission, if consigned to an auction conducted by Auctioneer). The defaulting Bidder is liable to pay any difference between his total original invoice for the lot(s), plus any applicable interest, and the net proceeds for the lot(s) if sold at private sale or the subsequent hammer price of the lot(s) less the 10% sellers commissions, if sold at an Auctioneers auction.

29.Auctioneer reserves the right to require payment in full in good funds before delivery of the merchandise. 30. Auctioneer shall have a lien against the merchandise purchased by the buyer to secure payment of the Auction invoice. Auctioneer is further granted a lien and the right to retain possession of any other property of the buyer then held by the Auctioneer or its affiliates to secure payment of any Auction invoice or any other amounts due the Auctioneer or affiliates from the buyer. With respect to these lien rights, Auctioneer shall have all the rights of a secured creditor under Article 9 of the Texas Uniform Commercial Code, including but not limited to the right of sale. In addition, with respect to payment of the Auction invoice(s), the buyer waives any and all rights of offset he might otherwise have against the Auctioneer and the consignor of the merchandise included on the invoice. If a Bidder owes Auctioneer or its affiliates on any account, Auctioneer and its affiliates shall have the right to offset such unpaid account by any credit balance due Bidder, and it may secure by possessory lien any unpaid amount by any of the Bidders property in their possession. 31. Title shall not pass to the successful Bidder until all invoices are paid in full. It is the responsibility of the buyer to provide adequate insurance coverage for the items once they have been delivered to a common carrier or third-party shipper. Delivery; Shipping; and Handling Charges: 32. Buyer is liable for shipping and handling. Please refer to Auctioneers website www.HA.com/ common/shipping.php for the latest charges or call Auctioneer. Auctioneer is unable to combine purchases from other auctions or affiliates into one package for shipping purposes. Lots won will be shipped in a commercially reasonable time after payment in good funds for the merchandise and the shipping fees is received or credit extended, except when third-party shipment occurs. 33. Successful international Bidders shall provide written shipping instructions, including specified customs declarations, to the Auctioneer for any lots to be delivered outside of the United States. NOTE: Declaration value shall be the item(s) hammer price together with its buyers premium and Auctioneer shall use the correct harmonized code for the lot. Domestic Buyers on lots designated for third-party shipment must designate the common carrier, accept risk of loss, and prepay shipping costs. 34. All shipping charges will be borne by the successful Bidder. On all domestic shipments, any risk of loss during shipment will be borne by Heritage until the shipping carriers confirmation of delivery to the address of record in Auctioneers file (carriers confirmation is conclusive to prove delivery to Bidder; if the client has a Signature release on file with the carrier, the package is considered delivered without Signature) or delivery by Heritage to Bidders selected third-party shipper. On all foreign shipments, any risk of loss during shipment will be borne by the Bidder following Auctioneers delivery to the Bidders designated common carrier or third-party shipper. 35. Due to the nature of some items sold, it shall be the responsibility for the successful Bidder to arrange pick-up and shipping through third-parties; as to such items Auctioneer shall have no liability. Failure to pick-up or arrange shipping in a timely fashion (within ten days) shall subject Lots to storage and moving charges, including a $100 administration fee plus $10 daily storage for larger items and $5.00 daily for smaller items (storage fee per item) after 35 days.

The laws of various countries regulate the import or export of certain plant and animal properties, including (but not limited to) items made of (or including) ivory, whalebone, turtle shell, coral, crocodile, or other wildlife. Transport of such lots may require special licenses for export, import, or both. Bidder is responsible for: 1) obtaining all information on such restricted items for both export and import; 2) obtaining all such licenses and/or permits. Delay or failure to obtain any such license or permit does not relieve the buyer of timely compliance with standard payment terms. For further information, please contact Ron Brackemyre at 800- 872-6467 ext. 1312. 37. Any request for shipping verification for undelivered packages must be made within 30 days of shipment by Auctioneer. Cataloging, Warranties and Disclaimers: 38.

Under extremely limited circumstances, (e.g. gross cataloging error) a purchaser, who did not bid from the floor, may request Auctioneer to evaluate voiding a sale; such request must be made in writing detailing the alleged gross error, and submission of the lot to the Auctioneer must be pre-approved by the Auctioneer. A bidder must notify the appropriate department head (check the inside front cover of the catalog or our website for a listing of department heads) in writing of such request within three (3) days of the non-floor bidders receipt of the lot. Any lot that is to be evaluated must be in our offices within 30 days after Auction. Grading does not qualify for this evaluation process nor do such complaints constitute a basis to challenge the authenticity of a lot. AFTER THAT 30-DAY PERIOD, NO LOTS MAY BE RETURNED FOR REASONS OTHER THAN AUTHENTICITY. Lots returned must be housed intact in the original holder. No lots purchased by floor Bidders may be returned (including those Bidders acting as agents for others). Late remittance for purchases may be considered just cause to revoke all return privileges. COMICS & COMIC ART TERM B: Auctions conducted solely on the Internet have a THREE (3) DAY RETURN POLICY: Lots paid for within seven days of the Auction closing are sold with a three (3) day return privilege. You may return lots under the following conditions: Within three days of receipt of the lot, you must first notify Auctioneer by contacting Client Service by phone (1-800-872-6467) or e-mail (Bid@HA.com), and immediately mail the lot(s) fully insured to the attention of Returns, Heritage, 3500 Maple Avenue, 17th Floor, Dallas TX 75219-3941. Lots must be housed intact in their original holder and condition. You are responsible for the insured, safe delivery of any lots. A non-negotiable return fee of 5% of the purchase price ($10 per lot minimum) will be deducted from the refund for each returned lot or billed directly. Postage and handling fees are not refunded. After the three-day period (from receipt), no items may be returned for any reason. Late remittance for purchases revokes all Return-Restock privileges. COMICS & COMIC ART TERM C: Bidders who have inspected the lots prior to the auction will not be granted any return privileges. COMICS & COMIC ART TERM D: Comic books sold referencing a third-party grading service are sold as is without any express or implied warranty. Certain warranties may be available from the grading services and the Bidder is referred to them for further details: Comics Guaranty Corporation (CGC), P.O. Box 4738, Sarasota, FL 34230. COMICS & COMIC ART TERM E: Bidders who intend to challenge authenticity or provenance of a lot must notify Auctioneer in writing within thirty (30) days of the Auctions conclusion. In the event Auctioneer cannot deliver the lot or subsequently it is established that the lot lacks title, provenance, authenticity, or other transfer or condition issue is claimed, Auctioneers liability shall be limited to rescission of sale and refund of purchase price; in no case shall Auctioneers maximum liability exceed the high bid on that lot, which bid shall be deemed for all purposes the value of the lot. After one year has elapsed, Auctioneers maximum liability shall be limited to any commissions and fees Auctioneer earned on that lot. COMICS & COMIC ART TERM F: All comics are guaranteed genuine, but are not guaranteed as to grade, since grading is a matter of opinion, an art and not a science, and therefore the opinion rendered by the Auctioneer or any third party grading service may not agree with the opinion of others (including trained experts), and the same expert may not grade the same item with the same grade at two different times. COMICS & COMIC ART TERM G: Since we cannot examine encapsulated comics, they are sold as is without our grading opinion, and may not be returned for any reason. Auctioneer shall not be liable for any patent or latent defect or controversy pertaining to or arising from any encapsulated collectible. In any such instance, purchasers remedy, if any, shall be solely against the service certifying the collectible. COMICS & COMIC ART TERM H: Due to changing grading standards over time, differing interpretations, and to possible mishandling of items by subsequent owners, Auctioneer reserves the right to grade items differently than shown on certificates from any grading service that accompany the items. Auctioneer also reserves the right to grade items differently than the grades shown in the prior catalog should such items be reconsigned to any future auction. COMICS & COMIC ART TERM I: Although consensus grading is employed by most grading services, it should be noted as aforesaid that grading is not an exact science. In fact, it is entirely possible that if a lot is broken out of a plastic holder and resubmitted to another grading service or even to the same service, the lot could come back with a different grade assigned. COMICS & COMIC ART TERM J: Certification does not guarantee protection against the normal risks associated with potentially volatile markets. The degree of liquidity for certified collectibles will vary according to general market conditions and the particular lot involved. For some lots there may be no active market at all at certain points in time. For wiring instructions call the Credit department at 1-800-872-6467 or e-mail: CreditDept@HA.com

Dear Fellow Collector, Id like to begin by thanking you for your support in 2011. Heritage sold $26 million worth of comics and comic art on behalf of our consignors, beating our own previous record! This is our 45th Signature Auction and we think it might be our biggest and best ever. Mere hype, you say? Well, were starting it off with one of the best Golden Age collections weve ever seen (see separate catalog, The Billy Wright Collection), but on top of that we have 1,500 more lots to go, from 195 more consignors. Of course, its not about the quantity but the quality flip through this book and I think youll be a believer! If you can make it to New York to participate in person, I encourage you to do so. A couple of bonus events on lot viewing day, Tuesday the 21st: Frank Miller will be there in person! Come by to meet him and to see the art from his personal collection that he has consigned to the auction. Also, Heritages own Steve Borock, former president of CGC, will be there to advise collectors. If youd like to have some of your best books checked for restoration or reviewed for potential upgrades, this is a perfect opportunity. Cant make it, you say? Well, remember that as always, you can also bid by telephone, fax, prior Internet bids, live Internet bids at HA.com/live (including from your smartphone) and U.S. mail. Best wishes
Barry Sandoval Director of Operations, Comics

Golden AGe ComiCs

91228 Action Comics #35 (DC, 1941) CGC VF+ 8.5 White pages. Wayne Boring, whom many collectors know as the quintessential Superman artist, began drawing the Man of Steel for creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster in the very early days of the Supermans appearances in this title, but really came into his own in the late 1940s. From that point through the 1950s, Boring was the primary Superman artist for DC. His cover art is shown off here on one of the nicest copies of issue #35 to have survived the past sixty years. A book that has been selling above Guide lately. Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $1,613; VF/NM 9.0 value = $2,757. CGC census 1/12: 4 in 8.5, 2 higher. 91230 Action Comics #44 (DC, 1942) CGC VF/NM 9.0 Cream to off-white pages. Superman battles the Nazis on this Fred Ray cover. Also in this issue, Mr. America learns the identity of Fat Man. The interior art was by Ray and Bernard Baily. Overstreet 2011 VF/NM 9.0 value = $2,259; NM- 9.2 value = $3,200. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 9.0, 1 higher.
91229 Action Comics #38 (DC, 1941) CGC NM- 9.2 Off-white to white pages. Its hard to believe this sharp, clean, and colorful comic didnt originate from one of the major pedigree collections CGC must agree, as this copy is the current king of their census chart. Superman cover and art by Fred Ray, with George Papp, Bernard Baily, Stan Kaye, and Sheldon Moldoff story art. Overstreet 2011 NM- 9.2 value = $3,900. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 9.2, none higher.

91232 Action Comics #70 (DC, 1944) CGC VF/NM 9.0 White pages.

Jack Burnley cover, with Mort Meskin and Bernard Baily story art. Overstreet 2011 VF/NM 9.0 value = $1,413; NM- 9.2 value = $2,000. CGC census 1/12: 2 in 9.0, 2 higher.
91235 Action Comics #92 Mile High pedigree (DC, 1946) CGC NM 9.4 Off-white to white pages. Heres yet another stunning Edgar Church/Mile High comic weve dug up for you! Jack Burnley and Stan Kaye provided the Superman at Work cover, while Fred Ray, John Sikela, and Mort Meskin handle the story art inside. As you might expect from the pedigree, this copy is CGCs current census champ, and by a long shot, too the next highest copy ranks a mere 7.5. Overstreet 2011 NM- 9.2 value = $1,250. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 9.4, none higher. 91233 Action Comics #81 Mile High pedigree (DC, 1945) CGC NM/MT 9.8 White pages. Just four other copies have scored grades above VF 8.0 to date, but then, as usual, the Mile High copy is in a league of its own! New Years cover by Wayne Boring. Mort Meskin art. Overstreet 2011 NM- 9.2 value = $1,500. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 9.8, none higher. 91238 Action Comics #102 Mile High pedigree (DC, 1946) CGC NM+ 9.6 White pages.

91237 Action Comics #99 (DC, 1946) CGC NM 9.4 Off-white to white pages. This issues lighthearted cover was drawn by Wayne Boring as opposed to regular Action cover artist John Daly.

91239 Action Comics #108 Mile High pedigree (DC, 1947) CGC NM+ 9.6 Off-white pages. Classic molten metal cover says Overstreet.

Overstreet 2011 NM- 9.2 value = $1,250. CGC census 1/12: 2 in 9.6, none higher.

91242 Adventure Comics #56 (DC, 1940) CGC NM 9.4 Off-white to white pages. Its hard to believe that this NM copy isnt from the coffers of old Edgar Church or one of the other top pedigrees, because the Bernard Baily cover looks as fresh as the day it was bought off the newsstand, as does the page quality. This looker is currently tied with the Mile High copy for the top spot on CGCs census. Overstreet 2011 NM- 9.2 value = $4,000. CGC census 1/12: 2 in 9.4, none higher.
91241 Adventure Comics #51 (DC, 1940) CGC NM- 9.2 White pages.

91243 Adventure Comics #60 (DC, 1941) CGC NM 9.4 Off-white to white pages. Like most issues from the early years of the Golden Age of comics, copies VF 8.0 and nicer are at a premium, and this copy from Nicolas Cages collection is topped by only Edgar Churchs copy, according to CGCs latest census. The great Sandman cover is by Creig Flessel. Bernard Baily and Howard Purcell contributed interior art. CGC notes, From the Collection of Nicolas Cage. Overstreet 2011 NM- 9.2 value = $6,400. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 9.4, 1 higher.
91244 Adventure Comics #74 Rockford pedigree (DC, 1942) CGC VF/NM 9.0 Cream to off-white pages. Simon and Kirby not only drew this issues Sandman cover and story, they were also responsible for the Manhunter feature (that versions second appearance). Confusingly, the hero was named Rick Nelson in the previous issue but renamed Paul Kirk here, even though he had nothing to do with the Paul Kirk, Manhunter who had appeared in this title previously! At any rate, S&K werent the only top creators involved here Jack Burnley drew a Starman story and Bernard Baily drew an Hourman yarn. Theres also a Shining Knight story drawn by Louis Cazeneuve. Overstreet 2011 VF/NM 9.0 value = $2,121; NM- 9.2 value = $3,000. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 9.0, 2 higher.

91247 Adventure Comics #86 (DC, 1943) CGC VF/NM 9.0 Off-white pages. This Golden Age issue of the title that spanned almost five decades not only has a Sandman story by Simon and Kirby, but also adventures of the Shining Knight, Starman, and Manhunter. A stunning copy with bright, deep colors on the cover. Overstreet 2011 VF/NM 9.0 value = $1,344; NM9.2 value = $1,900. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 9.0, 3 higher.

91258 All-American Comics #70 (DC, 1946) CGC NM 9.4 White pages.

Like all early comic books, this contained comic strip reprints, featuring Mutt and Jeff, Tailspin Tommy, and Joe Palooka. This comic is currently ranked in the top 100 of Overstreets list of the most valuable Golden Age comics; the only reason its not much higher is that while most comics have NMprices listed in the Guide, no NM- copy of this is known to exist. To date, only a handful of copies have received higher grades than this one. The issue is a Gerber 9 or Very Rare, so we wouldnt advise waiting for another one to come along! Overstreet 2011 VG 4.0 value = $6,200. CGC census 1/12: 4 in 4.0, 7 higher.
91328 Famous Funnies: A Carnival of Comics #nn (Eastern Color, 1933) CGC FN- 5.5 Cream pages. It would be years before Action Comics #1 would usher in the Golden Age of Comics in 1938.

91333 Flash Comics #24 Mile High pedigree (DC, 1941) CGC NM 9.4 White pages. E. E. Hibbards kooky Spider-Man from Mars cover is one of our favorites, and it never looked as good as it does on this choice Edgar Church copy. Its interesting to note the Lets Go! U. S. A. logo in the bottom left corner, as this December, 1941-dated issue actually hit the stands before the bombing of Pearl Harbor! Sheldon Moldoff and Harry Lampert provided story art.

Its the most valuable issue in the illustrious run, outside of #1 (when the title was just Marvel Comics), and theres good reason an Overstreet scarce and Gerber 7, a classic Alex Schomburg cover, and the battle royal between two superheroes, plus story art by Bill Everett, Carl Burgos, and Paul Gustavson.

91347 Marvel Mystery Comics 132-Page Issue with Variant Interior (Timely, 1943) CGC FN+ 6.5 Cream to off-white pages. At the top of many Timely collectors wish lists is this super-rarity from 1943. CGC has certified just five copies to date, with this being the highest-graded copy so far (the others top out at VG+ 4.5). The back cover of this copy is remarkable naturally a blank surface is eminently smudgeable and every other copy weve seen has clearly shown how many hands have handled it no such problem here! In general, this copy has survived as well as one could ever hope for a comic this thick. We have previously offered two uncertified copies of the issue: one in 2006 in VG+ that realized $28,680; and another uncertified copy in 4.0 in 2007. This is a giant 132-page square bound, with blank inside covers. The interior features Captain America Comics #22 and Marvel Mystery Comics #41 in their entirety. According to Overstreet and CGC, these contents represent a variant, though every copy that has passed through our hands has the contents mentioned above. Alex Schomburgs cover is just another reason to covet this one. Overstreet does not yet list values for the variant copies. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 6.5, none higher. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 6.5, none higher. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 6.5, none higher. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 6.5, none higher. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 6.5, none higher.
91348 Mickey Mouse Magazine #1 (K. K. Publications/ Western Publishing Co., 1935) Condition: VF+. Easily the best copy weve ever seen of this key issue, one of Overstreets Top 100 Golden Age books. It was only a matter of time after the smash success of Steamboat Willie that its animated star, Mickey Mouse, would be crowding the newsstands with his own magazine. And with this first issue, chock full of colorful images of Mickey, Donald, and all the gang, the Mickey Mouse Magazine really started with a bang. Eventually, it would devolve down to comic book size, and even be replaced with Walt Disneys Comics and Stories, but at first, this gigantic 10.25 x 13.25 publication was in every well-read kids collection. This clean copy has survived the years far better than most, with supple pages, and only minor cover wear. Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $9,200; VF/NM 9.0 value = $19,000.
91350 More Fun Comics #70 (DC, 1941) CGC NM- 9.2 Off-white to white pages.

CGC census 1/12: 1 in 9.2, 1 higher.
91351 Namora #1 (Timely, 1948) CGC VF- 7.5 Off-white to white pages. Sub-Mariner backup story. Ken Bald cover. Bill Everett story and art. Syd Shores art. Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $1,759. CGC census 1/12: 2 in 7.5, 7 higher.
91349 Military Comics #24 San Francisco pedigree (Quality, 1943) CGC NM+ 9.6 Off-white to white pages. One terrific cover by Alex Kotzky; and the San Francisco collection offers an unbelievably lovely copy thats alone at the top of CGCs current census for the issue. If you can find a blemish on this book, we have a needle in a haystack contest you might be interested in. The Blackhawk fighting team found success in multiple wars, skirmishes, comic book titles, and publishers, encompassing four full decades and part of another. Pretty impressive for a non-Superman, non-Batman hero. Overstreet 2011 NM- 9.2 value = $700. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 9.6, none higher.

91352 New Fun Comics #1 (DC, 1935) Condition: Apparent VG-. This is the first DC comic book, and its currently #37 in Overstreets ranking of the most valuable comics, which is even more impressive considering that Overstreet doesnt list a NM- or even a VF/ NM value for the issue (the VG value is higher than the likes of Adventure #40). Once youve decided you can afford one, you need to find one no easy task for a book ranked among the 50 rarest Golden Age comics by Comic Book Marketplace. A very significant issue in comic book history, this is the prototype of the modern comic in that it featured an anthology format of continuing characters and original rather than reprinted material, as Overstreet once put it. The first-ever tabloid-sized comic, it measures 10.5 x 15 (and is too large to be encapsulated by CGC). It started a series which became More Fun Comics. The restoration includes color touch, a taped spine, and small pieces of tape on a number of interior pages. This copy has some penciled numbers on the back cover and a horizontal crease through the book from being folded in half. Since this issues got lots of coupons and a number of cut-out features meant for kids to use their scissors on, there cant be many other complete copies in existence of this rarity. Overstreet 2011 VG 4.0 value = $14,858.
91353 New Fun Comics #6 (DC, 1935) Condition: Apparent GD. This was named one of the 50 rarest Golden Age books by Overstreet for good reason! We havent seen a copy in six years. This is just the sixth comic issue DC published, period (they hadnt yet added a second title), and its notable for being the first installment of Siegel and Shusters Dr. Occult, a strip that would eventually introduce the famous Superman prototype in More Fun #14. This copy has brittle page edges. Amateur restoration includes: color touch, pieces added, tear seals. Overstreet 2011 GD 2.0 value = $3,500.
91355 Red Raven Comics #1 (Timely, 1940) CGC Apparent VF- 7.5 Slight (P) Cream to off-white pages. One of Overstreets top 100 Golden Age books, this marked the first time the name Jack Kirby was signed to a comic (the artist, whose real name was Jacob Kurtzberg, had previously used other pseudonyms). This was just Timelys fourth title, trailing only Marvel (Mystery), Daring Mystery, and Mystic... and there never was a second issue of Red Raven. Most surviving copies of this book have restoration of some kind. When Heritage previously offered this copy in 2002, it was certified 8.0 and as a Kansas City pedigree copy; CGC chose to drop the Kansas City certification when the book was re-submitted. A very tough Timely! Cover art by Kirby. Overstreet 2011 GD 2.0 value = $1,250; VG 4.0 value = $2,500; FN 6.0 value = $3,750; VF 8.0 value = $9,400.
91354 Prize Comics #7 (Prize, 1940) CGC Apparent FN 6.0 Slight (A) Off-white pages. Overstreet calls this one scarce and we have only offered two different copies in ten years (this one and the Mile High). This issue has the first appearances of Frankenstein and the Green Lama, both of whom later had their own series. The Black Owl is the cover feature. This one is also sought after by Simon and Kirby completists, as that duo contributed to the issue. CGC notes, Restoration includes: small amount of glue on spine of cover at staples. Overstreet 2011 GD 2.0 value = $232; VG 4.0 value = $464; FN 6.0 value = $696.

91357 Sensation Comics #1 (DC, 1942) CGC Apparent VF 8.0 Extensive (P) Off-white to white pages. The Amazon princess had made her initial appearance a month before in All Star Comics #8, with the origin continued in this issue. The title was obviously created to showcase Wonder Woman, and she starred in it for 10 years, even while she was starring in her own title, which was launched a few months after this. Included here was also the origin and first appearance of Wildcat, Mr. Terrific, and the Gay Ghost. H. G. Peter cover, with Peter, Sheldon Moldoff, Irwin Hasen, and Howard Purcell story art.

91359 The Spirit #21 Mile High pedigree (Quality, 1950) CGC NM 9.4 White pages. The penultimate Quality issue, with a Will Eisner PGell cover thats tough to beat. Three Eisner Spirit reprints make up the interior as well, making this one of the most desirable issues of the run.

But on top of all that, this has that rare (and sought-after) binding quirk known as the double cover. And we havent even gotten to the fact that the best artist duo around, Simon and Kirby, drew a Newsboy Legion story in the book.

91375 Superboy #1 (DC, 1949) CGC VF/NM 9.0 Off-white to white pages. A thirty-year run began here for this enduring series which remained in publication even through those difficult pre-Silver Age days when superheroes were largely out of fashion. In the early days of this title, there were no super-powered villains (young Lex Luthor, etc.) and Superboy wasnt whisked off to the future to join the Legion of Super-Heroes every three hours. Instead, less flashy (but well-written) tales were the order of the day, usually with a subtle moral for young readers. The Boy of Steels debut issue features a Wayne Boring cover and John Sikela art. This is a nice, bright copy, with a vivid yellow background that really shows off the red and blue of Supermans costume. Only one other copy has been certified higher by CGC to date.

91377 Superman #1 (DC, 1939) CGC Apparent VF- 7.5 Extensive (P) Off-white to white pages. This much sought-after key is currently ranked #4 on Overstreets list of the most valuable Golden Age books. Yet in terms of significance, you could argue that only Action Comics #1 is more important in the history of the medium. Thats because Superman #1 represents the first time that a character created for comic books was given his own series, at a time when the medium featured anthology series, strip reprints, etc. The cover by Joe Shuster is a famous image, and the back cover pin-up is the first one in the history of comics! Of course, kids couldnt resist cutting this out to hang it up, thats why this book, despite a documented print run of one million copies, is so difficult to find intact. Its worth noting that unrestored copies with comparable eye appeal are all but unheard-of: among unrestored copies certified to date, only two match or exceed this numerical grade. This professionally restored specimen is one to show off not only to other hobbyists, but to everyone who appreciates the significance of the character in American popular culture. CGC notes, Restoration includes: color touch, pieces added, tear seals, cleaned, re-glossed. Overstreet 2011 GD 2.0 value = $33,333; VG 4.0 value = $66,667; FN 6.0 value = $100,000; VF 8.0 value = $240,000.

DC AshCAn EDitions
A Brief History of Ashcans
Back in the early days of comics publishing, the most common procedure to secure a trademark for a potentially valuable title was to create an ashcan edition of the proposed comic book (not to be confused with the modern-day term which commonly refers to mass-produced promotional booklets). Though the specific origins of the word are unknown, ashcan was a publishing term used to describe a dummy or prototype copy. Over the years some have confused ashcans with efforts to secure copyright protection rather than trademarks. In simplistic terms, a copyright protects the original expression of an idea, but not the actual idea, while a trademark addresses a title or logo. By using ashcans to secure trademarks, the publishers saved money and more importantly time. Instead of going through the lengthy task of writing and drawing, as well as the long arduous production process (color separations, engraving and printing), companies would simply create the titles logo, affix it to a piece of existing cover art, and then shoot a Velox of it. (A Velox is a positive photographic print typically used by newspapers as a pre-press proof, which accounts for ashcan covers being black and white rather than color.) After the cover was created, it was trimmed to comic-book size and then stapled to the interior of a previously published book, or sometimes just some loose story pages. The ashcan was now complete. For all practical purposes it had the appearance of a legitimate comic book and since the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) apparently accepted them as authentic comic books for trademark registration, no higher authority in the country existed to dispute this claim. Nor, apparently, did anyone ever seek to try. During 1937 1944, especially, some of the most important and famous titles in American comic book history were seemingly registered and protected using an ashcan copy (such as Superman Comics, Wonder Woman and Flash Comics). So too were some titles most collectors have never heard of to this day including Mystery Trail, Superman/Superhombre and Red, White & Blue Comics. Since so few were created, we as collectors can only marvel at the few examples that still exist today (usually only two to six copies were made and one would be provided to the USPTO). These comic book first editions are pop culture artifacts of the highest order and the rarest of collectibles. Questions Regarding Ashcans But was an ashcan actually a legitimate vehicle for securing trademark protection for a title? All evidence suggests that the publishers of the day thought so. However, until U.S. law was changed in the 1980s (so as to more closely reflect international practice) in order to trademark a title a publisher had to first use the title in order to secure his mark. Simple registration would not legally suffice. This meant, as a matter of law, that the sought-after-title had to actually be placed into market use before submission. (Evidence does exist from the 1950s that DC once mailed an ashcan copy out-of-state and requested it be returned under the apparent premise that this could arguably constitute the title entering the stream of commerce.) Yet it is clear that this was never the case for the majority of known ashcans as many of the titles were never placed into use even once, whether before or after the ashcans creation. Instead it appears publishers labored under the mistaken impression that the first to the door of the USPTO was the winner. Had they known otherwise, comic history today might well be different for some of the hobbys better known characters! Many early publishers used ashcans but not all of them. DC and Fawcett were the largest publishers to use this method of registration and most ashcans that exist today are from these two companies. A very limited number of ashcans from smaller companies have found their way into the hobby but no ashcans have ever been identified that were created by such mainstream publishers of the day as Timely, Centaur, Fox, MLJ, Dell, or Fiction House. Why this appears to be the case remains a complete mystery. Regrettably, very little historical evidence exists to answer the many questions that surround the creation and use of ashcans. Those who utilized the concept have generally passed on, and the only publisher to have created ashcans and still be in existence today, DC, has no institutional memory beyond possessing select copies within their vault. Sadly, apparently the USPTO purged its files and whatever they might have contained, in the late 1970s.

Values of Ashcans All of the ashcans offered in this section are listed in the current Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide, however the Guide does not list values for these as it does for newsstand comic books. However, the most notable prior Heritage sales of ashcans are as follows: Superman Comics Ashcan (DC): VF/NM $37,375 October 14, 2005 Thrill Comics #1 Ashcan (Fawcett): VF/NM $20,315 May 22, 2008 Action Comics Ashcan (DC) VF/NM $17,825 December 7, 2002 Wonder Woman Ashcan (DC) VF+ $17,250 March 16, 2002 Heritage has auctioned approximately 20 ashcans previously. All results are available in our online Auction Results Archives at HA.com. About This Collection Our consignor Gary Colabuono was first exposed to ashcans in October 1985, when a collector acting as an agent for former DC president Sol Harrison brought six of them to a Chicago Minicon. Colabuono was intrigued and purchased them on the spot. This love at first sight encounter would send Colabuono on a 20-year mission to learn all he could about ashcans and to find more of them. Most collectors will recall the full-page ads that Colabuono ran in the annual Overstreet Guide for 15 years looking to buy authentic Golden Age ashcans. In all those years I never acquired a single ashcan from any of those ads, he says. I got many calls from people who had common black-and-white comics and even some rare books that werent listed in the Guide, but never a real ashcan. To me its proof of their rarity, he said. Notes on the Lot Descriptions The information on which ashcans exist in the DC Vault come from Colabuonos own research from when he was granted access to the vault by Paul Levitz of DC. Colabuono was one of the last civilians to be allowed such access. Of course, it is fair to assume that items in the DC vault will never be for sale. Also, all ashcans offered in this section were purchased from former DC president Sol Harrison by Gary Colabuono unless otherwise noted in the text.

dC AshCAns
91431 Action Funnies Ashcan Edition (DC, 1937/38) Condition: VF+. Its purported that early DC executive Harry Donenfeld had four ashcans created to protect the most important title in comic book history: Action Comics, Action Funnies, Double Action Comics, and Triple Action Comics. No copies of Triple Action have ever surfaced but there are three copies of the Action Comics ashcan known to exist. Various copies of Double Action are in collector hands, and three copies of the Action Funnies ashcan are known to exist. According to our consignor, this is the second-finest copy of the three. Comic Book Marketplace named this ashcan the fifth-rarest Golden Age comic back in 1992. Unlike some ashcans, the cover art was not taken from a previously published comic but is art that was later used as the cover to Action Comics #3. Interior is Detective Comics #10. A tip of the lower left corner of the back cover has broken off, otherwise we would have assigned this a higher grade! Overstreet does not list a value but notes, The Mallette/ Brown copy in VG+ condition sold for $15,000 in 2005. The significance of Action #1 is well-documented elsewhere in this catalog. In view of that, and the prices that book commands, we recommend taking a strong look at this related and much scarcer item.
91432 All-American Men of War Ashcan (DC, 1952) Condition: GD+. Heres one for the Big Five DC War collector who thinks he has everything. This is the only copy of this title known to exist, with none in the DC vault. The August-September 1952 cover date is the same of the first published issue of the title (#127), which in turn tied the first issues of Our Army At War and Star-Spangled War Stories for the honor of DCs first war book. Our consignor notes that this book was purchased from Sparkle City Comics at the 1986 San Diego Comic Con, that is, its one of the few offered here whose provenance does not trace directly back to Sol Harrison of DC. Cover: All Star Western #58. Interior: Mr. District Attorney #21. No prior sales known. Overstreet does not list a value.
91433 Animal Antics Ashcan Edition (DC, 1946) Condition: FN/VF. The newsstand edition of this series began a month after this ashcan was created, and ran for three years. This is the only complete copy of this ashcan known to exist (though see note on a cover below). DC only made three ashcans of their humor titles. Besides Animal Antics there exists a Funny Folks ashcan in the DC vault and five copies of Real Screen Funnies. Yes, thats Simon and Kirbys Newsboy Legion on the cover, with art taken from the cover of Star Spangled Comics #49. The interior is from Boy Commandos #12. No prior known sales. Overstreet notes, A cover sold for $1,139 in 2010.
91434 Boy Commandos Comics #1 Ashcan Edition (DC, 1942) Condition: FN-. There are two versions of the Boy Commandos Comics ashcan: one with no number listed on the cover, of which five copies are known to exist, and the numbered version (#1) offered here, which is a unique copy! The cover art here is the splash page of Detective Comics #68, the kid groups fifth issue of that series. Unusually for an ashcan, the interior here is actually appropriate to the title: its the Boy Commandos yarn Escape to Disaster from Detective Comics #67. The groups series (with the word Comics being dropped from the final title) debuted Winter 1942. No prior sales.
91436 Girls Love Stories Ashcan Edition (DC, 1949) Condition: FN/ VF. DCs first foray into the romance genre was protected by this ashcan, perhaps the most urgently needed of the bunch: Michelle Nolan has noted that the four romance books published at the end of 1948 became 125 at the end of 1949! And thus nearly every conceivable variation on romance or love had been used within months. This is the only known DC romance ashcan, and the present copy is the only copy known to exist, with none in the DC vault. Cover: Buzzy #25. Interior: A Date with Judy #10. No prior sales. No Overstreet value listed.
91435 Commandos Ashcan Edition (DC, 1942) Condition: VF. Apparently DC didnt want any confusion in the marketplace when they decided to give the Boy Commandos their own title, so they created this ashcan to help protect their interests. 1940s Supergirl and Superwoman ashcans are known to exist as well, created for the same reason! The strategy obviously had its desired effect, as the Commandos name wasnt seen in a comic title until the Atlas/Marvel era. The cover art is from the newsstand edition of Boy Commandos #1, dated Winter 1942/43 and thus on sale at the time this ashcan was created. The interior is actually a Boy Commandos tale from Detective Comics #70. Two copies are known to exist, both owned by the consignor. No prior sales.
91437 Headline Comics Ashcan Edition (DC, 1942) Condition: FN. Youll recognize the cover art from the key More Fun Comics #73, which introduced Green Arrow and Aquaman to the world! Two copies of this outstanding ashcan exist, this copy and one in the DC vault. The interior is from Star Spangled Comics #2. No prior sales. A two-inch tear in the front cover is the one defect that prevented this attractive copy from grading higher. Of course, DC never used the title Headline, though another firm did about a year later. So what was DCs intention when they produced this? We speculate that it was either a working title for Sensation Comics or Leading Comics, both of which debuted around that same time. Leading Comics might be slightly more likely given that it featured the Star-Spangled Kid and Green Arrow.

9 1 4 3 8 H e r e s Howie Ashcan (DC, 1951) Condition: FN. DCs only known teen humor ashcan. Only two copies of this ashcan exist, this copy and one that will reside in the DC archives forever. Cover: Buzzy #37. Interior: Buzzy #42. No prior sales.
9 1 4 3 9 Le a d i n g Comics Ashcan Edition (DC, 1942) Condition: FN+. This is the only copy of this ashcan known to exist. The cover art is from Detective Comics #57, and the interior from Star Spangled Comics #2. No prior sales. Note to Batman fans: Bob Kanes cover art is reproduced better here than on the printed Tec 57! While the lettering in Leading looks unusual, it is indeed the logo used for the first eight issues of that title.
91440 Our Men At War Ashcan Edition (DC, 1952) Condition: FN/VF. This has the same cover date as the AllAmerican Men of War ashcan offered in this same section. Its possible that Our Men At War was the original working title for Our Army At War. Or perhaps the plan to convert All-American Western to AllAmerican Men of War was hatched at a late date, with the new war book originally planned as a stand-alone #1. The decision to move away from a western format is a bit curious since this genre was still in its heyday in 1952! Whatever the case, the connection with these two famous titles war titles is obvious. Two copies exist of this ashcan this one and one in the DC vault. Cover: All Star Western #60. Interior: Detective Comics #181. No prior sales recorded. 91441 Real Screen Funnies Ashcan (DC, 1945) Condition: FN/VF. The first appearance of the Fox and Crow was on this ashcan cover, and its the only ashcan created using the same cover art as the newsstand issue! Its also the only DC ashcan to not sport a black and white cover. The interior is from Detective Comics #92. Five copies are known to exist. Overstreet notes, A copy sold in 2008 for $3,000.
91442 Star Spangled War Stories Ashcan Edition (DC, 1952) Condition: VG-. This DC Big Five war title ashcan was created simultaneously with All-American Men of War and Our Men at War in the summer of 1952. The consignor purchased this copy from Sparkle City Comics at the 1986 San Diego Comic Con (i.e. it is one of two in this section whose provenance does not trace back to Sol Harrison of DC). Cover: Western Comics #28. Interior: Western Comics #13. This is the only copy known to exist of this outstanding and important ashcan, with none in the DC vault. No prior sales. Cover detached. No value listed in Overstreet.

As for condition, this copy has the general perfection we usually see in 9.6 to 9.8 copies.

91480 Batman #227 (DC, 1970) CGC NM/MT 9.8 Off-white to white pages. In many ways, the early years of the Bronze Age were like a new Golden Age of comics. Collectors were increasingly aware of those great old 1930s and 40s comics that had come before, and current artists were paying proper respect to the older style, while at the same time adding their own unique vision. Case in point is this Neal Adams classic cover homage to Detective Comics #31, featuring a phantom-like Batman towering over the action below. This stunning 9.8 copy belongs in any serious collection of comics from this much-loved period.

About the CurAtor pedigree ComiCs

The Curator comics are considered to be among the most desirable Silver Age pedigree books. The Curator collection originated with a boy in Minnesota whose father worked at a grocery store. The boy purchased two copies of every comic that interested him, and to preserve one copy of each for long-term storage, he would wrap it in material readily available to him, namely butcher paper. In the early 1980s the collection was sold to a local dealer. Our consignor got a look at the books in 1983. The price stickers were very aggressive prices for the time, but given the incredible quality of the books our consignor quickly struck a deal to purchase as many Fantastic Fours as he could afford and has kept them in storage ever since. Heritage is delighted to offer a collection of Curator copies highlighted by the amazing run of Fantastic Four!
91489 Fantastic Four #2 Curator pedigree (Marvel, 1962) CGC NM 9.4 Off-white to white pages. This is the best copy weve ever offered of issue #2, one of Overstreets top 20 Silver Age books. The super-clean front cover will make a believer out of you! The yellow background really glows, and the light-blue floor, which tends to be smudged and discolored on the average copy of this book, looks fantastic. This is just the second superhero issue Marvel ever published (tied with Tales to Astonish #27), and the second and last FF to have a 10 cover price. It has the first appearance of the Skrulls, and of course just the second appearance of the Fantastic Four, whose costumes hadnt even been created yet. In case you didnt know, its a production of writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby. Overstreet 2011 NM- 9.2 value = $11,000. CGC census 1/12: 6 in 9.4, 3 higher.

91490 Fantastic Four #3 Curator pedigree (Marvel, 1962) CGC NM- 9.2 Off-white to white pages. We had never offered a 9.0 copy of this one before, never mind a 9.2! Check out the airy blue background and compare the book to whatever smudgy grayish copy you have lying around, and youll want to go after this upgrade. While this book doesnt sell cheap in any grade, you could argue that the values should be higher, as #3 introduces the signature look of these key characters. The first couple of issues looked more like a monster mag than a superhero book intentionally so, as Marvel hadnt published any costumed adventurers in a while. But here, not only did the FF don their signature costumes, the issue has the first appearance of the Baxter Building, the FantastiCar, and the Pogo Plane. Jack Kirby drew the glorious cover. Overstreet 2011 NM- 9.2 value = $9,200. CGC census 1/12: 4 in 9.2, 3 higher.
91491 Fantastic Four #4 Curator pedigree (Marvel, 1962) CGC NM+ 9.6 White pages. This may well be the most desirable book in this amazing run. Its certainly the first 9.6 we have ever offered.

Its the first Silver Age appearance of the Sub-Mariner, in a story most every comic reader will remember, with the Human Torch burning off the beard of a mysterious derelict to reveal the face of Namor.

91493 Fantastic Four #5 Curator pedigree (Marvel, 1962) CGC NM 9.4 White pages. Easily the best copy weve ever offered of the first appearance of Doctor Doom, one of the all-time great comic book villains. This is a book thats tough to come by in any grade above 8.5, and the main reason is the bluish-grey color scheme that Marvel used to love but present-day collectors are frustrated by! This issue also has large blocks of solid color try finding a copy on which the gray strip at far right isnt marred by a smudge, there are few such copies out there. Jack Kirby cover art.

This issue was also the second appearance of Doom and just the second Silver Age appearance of Subby. Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers cover and art. Overstreet 2011 NM- 9.2 value = $5,300.

91618 Playboy #1 Newsstand Edition (HMH Publishing, 1953) CGC NM 9.4 White pages.The Marilyn Monroe cover and nude post inside ensured Hugh Hefners fledgling magazine would get noticed - he just didnt know by how many, and how great the distribution would become within just a few years. From a printing of just over 50,000 copies for this first issue, Playboys print run reached 5 million within 15 years. This is easily the finest copy of the highly collectible debut issue of Playboy that weve ever had the opportunity to offer, far surpassing the CGC VF+ 8.5 copy we offered in 2009, which previously held the Heritage record and sold for over $10,000. Its stunning, from its incredibly snow-white covers to its pristine white pages. All that white paper tends to show even minute wear and the slightest of smudges, so the condition of this offering is all the more astonishing. Nearly 60 years after the issue was published, its safe to say there simply arent many copies that can command a Near Mint certification. To date CGC has awarded the NM 9.4 grade to just two other copies of the Newsstand Edition, and a higher grade has yet to be certified. Go to HA.com/7054 for a closeup view!

92013 Carl Barks Donald Duck Flying Dutchman Painting Original Art (1972). The Flying Dutchman #1 (#23-72) marked the very first time that a splash panel from a comic story was used as the subject of a Carl Barks painting. In a 1972 letter to Don Ault, Barks stated that it is a subject that stands on its own merits as a seascape. In Uncle Scrooge #25, Barks had featured the ghostly galleon in the opening splash panel, and again on the page 11 splash panel where the Duck family spots the Dutchman sailing up in the sky. The dark clouds behind the red sails make this first version the spookiest of the three versions Barks painted, matching the eerie tone of this ghostly adventure. Carl Barks truly enjoyed drawing ships; Barks historian Geoff Blum points out that he had started his comic book career by drawing all the nautical pages for Pirate Gold (Four Color #9, 1942), and drawing stormy seascapes was Carls motivation for doing his classic Horse-Radish story in Uncle Scrooge #3. This version of the Flying Dutchman painting is so rare most Barks fans have never seen it! It wasnt included in the 1981 book, The Fine Art of Donald Duck. Barks did a second version that was sold in 1991 after being held by the family as a retirement nest egg, and a third and final version was sold by Heritage in 2002 for a whopping $80,500. Flying Dutchman #1 is painted in oils on Masonite with an image area of 18 x 24, and is framed in gold wood which makes the yellowish lightning bolts stand out. Other than a thin, non-obtrusive 9 contact scratch than runs from the frame down past the back of the ship, its in Excellent condition. Its a true maritime masterpiece as only Barks could deliver. Dont let your opportunity to get it sail away!

92101 Dave Gibbons Watchmen #4 Watchmaker Doctor Manhattan Raises His City on Mars Pages 26 and 27 Original Art (DC, 1986). What more can be written about the Watchmen that hasnt already been duly noted in the past 26 years? For many, the Watchmen mini-series represented a transcendent work of genius that showed how a comic book narrative could be constructed, as well as a revolutionary take on a post Cold War world that no longer worships superheroes. Watchmen was a turning point in comics history, one of only a handful of stories that shattered the limits of what the medium could achieve. Visionary co-creator Alan Moore used the series to deconstruct the traditional superhero mythos in a nihilistic way, never seen before, in a way that made the film Apocalypse Now look like a picnic. This awesome double page-spread features the watershed moment when the blue, god-like Doctor Manhattan designs and raises a magnificent jeweled city on Mars, crafted with an interlocking Swiss watch-like perfection. Its an ordered, rational world so airless, so cold theres little room left for the uncertainty and chaos of either human emotion or biological life. Both beautiful and terrifying, it sublimely symbolizes the extreme alienation of the former scientist, Dr. Jonathan Osterman, now that he has become the ultimately evolved rational being, born of scientific method beyond good, evil, and morality Doctor Manhattan. Quality character pages from Watchmen are scarcely offered in the marketplace and anyone who has seen the cult movie will treasure these scenes which were so impressive on the silver screen.

This great, self-contained and symmetrically designed (not to mention hair-raising) page by writer Alan Moore and ace artist Dave Gibbons features the ultimate vigilante suiting up for battle. Inspired by Steve Ditkos philosophical heroes The Question and Mr. A, Alan Moore took Ditkos concepts to their mind-bending end point. As Moore related, Steve Ditkos Question/Mr. A, Rorschach is a kind of logical extension of that character but Im sure its not one that Steve Ditko himself ever imagined, in fact I did hear that someone was interviewing Steve Ditko and asked him whether hed seen Watchmen and this character in it called Rorschach and he said Oh yes, I know that, hes the one whos like Mr. A, except Rorschach is insane. Insane or not, Rorschach is undoubtedly the most popular character in the renowned miniseries, playing a pivotal role in the story that marked a turning point in comic book history, and here is one of the finest Rorschach pages yet offered in the marketplace. Watchmen fans, Sometimes the night is generous... This masterpiece of mayhem has an image area of approximately 10 x 15.75, and aside from a light band of paper aging around the borders, the art is in Excellent condition.

92170 Jack Kirby Marvelmania Characters #1 Iron Man, Black Knight, Ulik, Doctor Doom, Rhino, and Doctor Strange Illustration Original Art (c. 1968). Let the banners wave and the trumpets blare, True Believers for here is a grail of grails, possibly the greatest, and certainly one of the coolest masterworks Jack Kirby ever drew for Marvelmania, the short-lived fan club based on the Marvel characters. There is no finer Kirby line-up of Kirbycreated Marvel character merchandising art in the market this is the one for you. The Iron Man and Doctor Doom images were used as border images on the back cover of the 1969 Marvelmania Club Catalog. This piece was most likely produced during the first part of 1968 as the Black Knight first appeared in Avengers #47 (December 1967); Ulik first appeared in Thor #137 (February 1967); and Rhino first appeared in Amazing Spider-Man #41 (October 1966). As the Rhino was killed off (for the first time) in Hulk #104 (June 1968) and didnt appear again until Hulk #124 (February 1970), it seems very unlikely that Kirby would have included the Rhino among the characters on this piece after that time. In any case, this iconic Silver Age masterpiece has an approximate image area of 12 x 12, and the art is in Excellent condition. Signed by Kirby at the lower right. An image of the printed catalog is shown here but is not included with the lot.

As Alan Moore wrote about the series: Beyond the imagery, themes, and essential romance of Dark Knight, Miller has also managed to shape the Batman into a true legend by introducing that element without which all true legends are incomplete and yet which for some reason hardly seems to exist in the world depicted in the average comic book, and that element is time time has come to the Batman and the capstone that makes legends what they are has finally been fitted. In his engrossing story of a great mans final and greatest battle, Miller has managed to create something radiant which should hopefully illuminate things for the rest of the comic book field, casting a new light upon the problems which face all of us working within the industry and perhaps even guiding us towards some fresh solutions. Ten years after it was released the shock waves in the industry were still peaking, and for the 10th Anniversary Edition of the ground-breaking series, Frank Miller created this perfect stand-alone image of Batman and Robin (Carrie Kelley, the first female, full-time Robin), in action, in their element cloaked in the darkness of night this one has everything going for it.

92331 Robert Crumb The Peoples Comics Cover Original Art (Golden Gate Publishing, 1972). By 1972, Robert Crumb was nothing short of a basket case. Burned out from fame the fanboys, the pushy businessmen, the have-nots looking for a hand-out it all helped turn Crumb into a withdrawn, bitter young man for a few years. Pushing him over the edge was the Ralph Bakshi animated feature film Fritz the Cat, a project Crumb wanted no part of (the contracts were signed by his estranged first wife after Robert split). Still, he kept on producing comics, and even though they were somewhat more mean-spirited than his earlier work, the art kept getting better and better. Heres a great example of his mid-1970s work, the cover to The Peoples Comics. This is the infamous comic that featured Fritz the Cat Superstar, the story where Robert kills off the character he had drawn since early childhood. The cover art is ink on bristol, with an image area of approximately 8.75 x 12.75. Its in Excellent condition.

92332 Robert Crumb R. Crumb and his Cheap Suit Serenaders Number 2 Album Cover Original Art (Blue Goose, 1976). While his legion of fans adore R. Crumb for his wild comic book stories and art, music has always been closer to Roberts heart. His teenage years were largely spent chasing down obscure old Blues 78 rpm records, and he began a collection that can only be called world class today. Along the way he learned to play guitar and banjo himself, and eventually formed a band of liked-minded record collectors and musicians who dug those old-time tunes. This brilliant cover illustration graced his bands second LP, and Robert drew a funny set of characters of himself and band mates Terry Zwigoff (who later went on to film the Crumb documentary and other major motion pictures), Allan Dodge, and fellow cartoonist Robert Armstrong (Mickey Rat). The mixed-medial art on illustration board has an image area of approximately 12.25 x 12.25, matted to an overall 15.75 x 19.75, and is in Excellent condition.

92333 Robert Crumb and S. Clay Wilson Tryin Ta Git Ta Lawrence Kansas Sketchbook Page Original Art (c. 1967). Pen and ink page featuring a stylized R. Crumb drawing of a train heading down the tracks as the smiling sun sets. The figures on the left side of the page, plus the tiny view of the man looking out the train window, were added by Crumbs pal and Zap Comix cohort, S. Clay Wilson, himself a former resident of Lawrence, Kansas. The art has an image area of approximately 7.5 x 9.77. The page appears to have been professionally split from a drawing on the backside, with new paper seamlessly added, resulting in a piece in Excellent condition. Early San Francisco ink sketches like this are not common, and this combination by the two biggest names in Underground Comix may well have been their first collaboration. Very cool!
92334 Robert Crumb Cavalier Fritz the No Good Page 8 Original Art (1968). After a night with Winston, Fritz finds himself alone with nothing to eat, smoke, or do, in this page from the story originally serialized in Cavalier magazine, and later included as part of the 1969 R.

Fritz attends his first meeting with the revolutionaries, and helps give Fuzzys girlfriend Harriet some rough business in this page from the story originally serialized in Cavalier magazine, and later included as part of the 1969 R. Crumbs Fritz the Cat oversized book. Crumbs rather mean-hearted attitude toward women was often sited by his detractors (like fellow UG cartoonist Trina Robbins), and this page, done during a low time in Crumbs own first marriage, is evidence that the detractors were maybe on the right track. Its still a fun page with every panel packed full of detail. This piece has an image area of 9.75 x 12, and is in Excellent condition.
92337 Robert Crumb R. Crumbs Cheap Suit Serenaders Number 2 Album Back Cover Original Art (Blue Goose, 1976).

92338 Robert Crumb Note Cover Original Art and Letter (1959-60). During his high school years, Robert Crumb struck up pen-pal correspondence with a few comics fans who happened to run across a copy of the Crumb Brothers zine, Foo, including Marty Pahls, who would go on to be a life long friend (and briefly a brother-in-law) to Robert. Crumb would write his letters on folded 8.5 x 11 paper, and draw a cover illustration for each one; this one has a doozy of a cover, featuring King of Jazz - 1930, Paul Whiteman. Inside, theres a 13-page letter, all hand-written in ink by Crumb, who added a self-portrait at the end. The letter itself is dated November 8, 1959, while Crumb was still attending high school in Dover, Delaware, but the cover is dated March 17, 1960. Its unclear if the letter was simply begun in November and not mailed until the following March, or if this is in fact parts of two separate letters, but regardless, its a fascinating piece of Crumb history. The overall condition is Fine, and the 5.5 x 8.5 cover, drawn in ink and pastel pencil, remains very colorful and sharp.

Robert Crumb introduced the term fanboy to the general public in this third installment of the strip done for the Village Voice in 1976-77 (and which later appeared as part of Mr. Natural #3, published by Kitchen Sink Press). Actually, fanboy first appeared as an obscure, low print-run comic, and its title was suggested as a joke by cartoonist Jay Lynch, but Crumbs use of the term caught on, especially at conventions.

Signature Auctions and Grand Format Auctions accept bids from the Internet, telephone, fax, or mail first, followed by a floor bidding session; HeritageLive! and real- time telephone bidding are available to registered clients during these auctions. Bidders: 4. Any person participating or registering for the Auction agrees to be bound by and accepts these Terms and Conditions of Auction (Bidder(s)). 5. All Bidders must meet Auctioneers qualifications to bid. Any Bidder who is not a client in good standing of the Auctioneer may be disqualified at Auctioneers sole option and will not be awarded lots. Such determination may be made by Auctioneer in its sole and unlimited discretion, at any time prior to, during, or even after the close of the Auction. Auctioneer reserves the right to exclude any person from the auction. 6. If an entity places a bid, then the person executing the bid on behalf of the entity agrees to personally guarantee payment for any successful bid. Credit: 7. In order to place bids, Bidders who have not established credit with the Auctioneer must either furnish satisfactory credit information (including two collectibles-related business references) or supply valid credit card information along with a social security number, well in advance of the Auction. Bids placed through our Interactive Internet program will only be accepted from preregistered Bidders. Bidders who are not members of HA.com or affiliates should preregister at least 48 hours before the start of the first session (exclusive of holidays or weekends) to allow adequate time to contact references. Credit will be granted at the discretion of Auctioneer. Additionally Bidders who have not previously established credit or who wish to bid in excess of their established credit history may be required to provide their social security number or the last four digits thereof so a credit check may be performed prior to Auctioneers acceptance of a bid. Check writing privileges and immediate delivery of merchandise may also be determined by pre-approval of credit based on a combination of criteria: HA.com history, related industry references, bank verification, a credit bureau report and/or a personal guarantee for a corporate or partnership entity in advance of the auction venue. Bidding Options: 8. Bids in Signature Auctions or Grand Format Auctions may be placed as set forth in the printed catalog section entitled Choose your bidding method. For auctions held solely on the Internet, see the alternatives on HA.com. Review at HA.com/common/howtobid.php. 9. Presentment of Bids: Non-Internet bids (including but not limited to podium, fax, phone and mail bids) are treated similar to floor bids in that they must be on-increment or at a half increment (called a cut bid). Any podium, fax, phone, or mail bids that do not conform to a full or half increment will be rounded up or down to the nearest full or half increment and this revised amount will be considered your high bid. 10. Auctioneers Execution of Certain Bids. Auctioneer cannot be responsible for your errors in bidding, so carefully check that every bid is entered correctly. When identical mail or FAX bids are submitted, preference is given to the first received. To ensure the greatest accuracy, your written bids should be entered on the standard printed bid sheet and be received at Auctioneers place of business at least two business days before the Auction start. Auctioneer is not responsible for executing mail bids or FAX bids received on or after the day the first lot is sold, nor Internet bids submitted after the published closing time; nor is Auctioneer responsible for proper execution of bids submitted by telephone, mail, FAX, e-mail, Internet, or in person once the Auction begins. Bids placed electronically via the internet may not be withdrawn until your written request is received and acknowledged by Auctioneer (FAX: 214-443-8425); such requests must state the reason, and may constitute grounds for withdrawal of bidding privileges. Lots won by mail Bidders will not be delivered at the Auction unless prearranged. 11. Caveat as to Bid Increments. Bid increments (over the current bid level) determine the lowest amount you may bid on a particular lot. Bids greater than one increment over the current bid can be any whole dollar amount. It is possible under several circumstances for winning bids to be between increments, sometimes only $1 above the previous increment. Please see: How can I lose by less than an increment? on our website. Bids will be accepted in whole dollar amounts only. No buy or unlimited bids will be accepted. The following chart governs current bidding increments. Current Bid .....................Bid Increment Current Bid.......................Bid Increment <$10 .................................... $1 $20,000 - $29,999 .................$2,000 $10 - $29 ............................. $2 $30,000 - $49,999 .................$2,500 $30 - $49 ............................. $3 $50,000 - $99,999 .................$5,000 $50 - $99 ............................. $5 $100,000 - $199,999 .............$10,000 $100 - $199 ......................... $10 $200,000 - $299,999 .............$20,000 $200 - $299 ......................... $20 $300,000 - $499,999 .............$25,000 $300 - $499 ......................... $25 $500,000 - $999,999 .............$50,000 $500 - $999 ......................... $50 $1,000,000 - $1,999,999 .......$100,000 $1,000 - $1,999 ................... $100 $2,000,000 - $2,999,999 .......$200,000 $2,000 - $2,999 ................... $200 $3,000,000 - $4,999,999 .......$250,000 $3,000 - $4,999 ................... $250 $5,000,000 - $9,999,999 .......$500,000 $5,000 - $9,999 ................... $500 >$10,000,000 ........................$1,000,000 $10,000 - $19,999 ............... $1,000 12. If Auctioneer calls for a full increment, a bidder may request Auctioneer to accept a bid at half of the increment (Cut Bid) only once per lot. After offering a Cut Bid, bidders may continue to participate only at full increments. Off-increment bids may be accepted by the Auctioneer at Signature Auctions and Grand Format Auctions. If the Auctioneer solicits bids other than the expected increment, these bids will not be considered Cut Bids. Conducting the Auction: 13. Notice of the consignors liberty to place bids on his lots in the Auction is hereby made in accordance with Article 2 of the Texas Business and Commercial Code. A Minimum Bid is an amount below which the lot will not sell. THE CONSIGNOR OF PROPERTY MAY PLACE WRITTEN Minimum Bids ON HIS LOTS IN ADVANCE OF THE AUCTION; ON SUCH LOTS, IF THE HAMMER PRICE DOES NOT MEET THE Minimum Bid, THE CONSIGNOR MAY PAY A REDUCED COMMISSION ON THOSE LOTS. Minimum Bids are generally posted online several days prior to the Auction closing. For any successful bid placed by a consignor on his Property on the Auction floor, or by any means during the live session, or after the Minimum Bid for an Auction have been posted, we will require the consignor to pay full Buyers Premium and Sellers Commissions on such lot. 14. The highest qualified Bidder recognized by the Auctioneer shall be the Buyer. In the event of a tie bid, the earliest bid received or recognized wins. In the event of any dispute between any Bidders at an Auction, Auctioneer may at his sole discretion reoffer the lot. Auctioneers decision and declaration of the winning Bidder shall be final and binding upon all Bidders. Bids properly offered, whether by floor Bidder or other means of bidding, may on occasion be missed or go unrecognized; in such cases, the Auctioneer may declare the recognized bid accepted as the winning bid, regardless of whether a competing bid may have been higher. 15. Auctioneer reserves the right to refuse to honor any bid or to limit the amount of any bid, in its sole discretion. A bid is considered not made in Good Faith when made by an insolvent or irresponsible person, a person under the age of eighteen, or is not supported by satisfactory credit, collectibles references, or otherwise. Regardless of the disclosure of his identity, any bid by a consignor or his agent on a lot consigned by him is deemed to be made in Good Faith. Any person apparently appearing on the OFAC list is not eligible to bid. 16. Nominal Bids. The Auctioneer in its sole discretion may reject nominal bids, small opening bids, or very nominal advances. If a lot bearing estimates fails to open for 4060% of the low estimate, the Auctioneer may pass the item or may place a protective bid on behalf of the consignor. 17. Lots bearing bidding estimates shall open at Auctioneers discretion (approximately 50%-60% of the low estimate). In the event that no bid meets or exceeds that opening amount, the lot shall pass as unsold. 18. All items are to be purchased per lot as numerically indicated and no lots will be broken. Auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw, prior to the close, any lots from the Auction. 19. Auctioneer reserves the right to rescind the sale in the event of nonpayment, breach of a warranty, disputed ownership, auctioneers clerical error or omission in exercising bids and reserves, or for any other reason and in Auctioneers sole discretion. In cases of nonpayment, Auctioneers election to void a sale does not relieve the Bidder from their obligation to pay Auctioneer its fees (sellers and buyers premium) and any other damages or expenses pertaining to the lot. 20. Auctioneer occasionally experiences Internet and/or Server service outages, and Auctioneer periodically schedules system downtime for maintenance and other purposes, during which Bidders cannot participate or place bids. If such outages occur, we may at our discretion extend bidding for the Auction. Bidders unable to place their Bids through the Internet are directed to contact Client Services at 1-800-872-6467. 21. The Auctioneer, its affiliates, or their employees consign items to be sold in the Auction, and may bid on those lots or any other lots. Auctioneer or affiliates expressly reserve the right to modify any such bids at any time prior to the hammer based upon data made known to the Auctioneer or its affiliates. The Auctioneer may extend advances, guarantees, or loans to certain consignors. 22. The Auctioneer has the right to sell certain unsold items after the close of the Auction. Such lots shall be considered sold during the Auction and all these Terms and Conditions shall apply to such sales including but not limited to the Buyers Premium, return rights, and disclaimers. Payment: 23. All sales are strictly for cash in United States dollars (including U.S. currency, bank wire, cashier checks, travelers checks, eChecks, and bank money orders, and are subject to all reporting requirements). All deliveries are subject to good funds; funds being received in Auctioneers account before delivery of the Purchases; and all payments are subject to a clearing period. Auctioneer reserves the right to determine if a check constitutes good funds: checks drawn on a U.S. bank are subject to a ten business day hold, and thirty days when drawn on an international bank. Clients with pre-arranged credit status may receive immediate credit for payments via eCheck, personal or corporate checks. All others will be subject to a hold of 5 days, or more, for the funds to clear prior to releasing merchandise. (ref. T&C item 7 Credit for additional information.) Payments can be made 24-48 hours post auction from the My Orders page of the HA.com website. 24. Payment is due upon closing of the Auction session, or upon presentment of an invoice. Auctioneer reserves the right to void an invoice if payment in full is not received within 7 days after the close of the Auction. In cases of nonpayment, Auctioneers election to void a sale does not relieve the Bidder from their obligation to pay Auctioneer its fees (sellers and buyers premium) on the lot and any other damages pertaining to the lot. 25. Lots delivered to you, or your representative in the States of Texas, California, New York, or other states where the Auction may be held, are subject to all applicable state and local taxes, unless appropriate permits are on file with Auctioneer. (Note: Coins are only subject to sales tax in California on invoices under $1500 and in Texas on invoices under $1000. Check the Web site at: http://coins.ha.com/c/ref/sales-tax.zx for more details.) Bidder agrees to pay Auctioneer the actual amount of tax due in the event that sales tax is not properly collected due to: 1) an expired, inaccurate, inappropriate tax certificate or declaration, 2) an incorrect interpretation of the applicable statute, 3) or any other reason. The appropriate form or certificate must be on file at and verified by Auctioneer five days prior to Auction or tax must be paid; only if such form or certificate is received by Auctioneer within 4 days after the Auction can a refund of tax paid be made. Lots from different Auctions may not be aggregated for sales tax purposes. 26. In the event that a Bidders payment is dishonored upon presentment(s), Bidder shall pay the maximum statutory processing fee set by applicable state law. If you attempt to pay via eCheck and your financial institution denies this transfer from your bank account, or the payment cannot be completed using the selected funding source, you agree to complete payment using your credit card on file. 27. If any Auction invoice submitted by Auctioneer is not paid in full when due, the unpaid balance will bear interest at the highest rate permitted by law from the date of invoice until paid. Any invoice not paid when due will bear a three percent (3%) late fee on the invoice amount or three percent (3%) of any installment that is past due. If the Auctioneer refers any invoice to an attorney for collection, the buyer agrees to pay attorneys fees, court costs, and other collection costs incurred by Auctioneer. If Auctioneer assigns collection to its in-house legal staff, such attorneys time expended on the matter shall be compensated at a rate comparable to the hourly rate of independent attorneys. 28. In the event a successful Bidder fails to pay any amounts due, Auctioneer reserves the right to sell the lot(s) securing the invoice to any underbidders in the Auction that the lot(s) appeared, or at subsequent private or public sale, or relist the lot(s) in a future auction conducted by Auctioneer. A defaulting Bidder agrees to pay for the reasonable costs of resale (including a 10% sellers commission, if consigned to an auction conducted by Auctioneer). The defaulting Bidder is liable to pay any difference between his total original invoice for the lot(s), plus any applicable interest, and the net proceeds for the lot(s) if sold at private sale or the subsequent hammer price of the lot(s) less the 10% sellers commissions, if sold at an Auctioneers auction.

29.Auctioneer reserves the right to require payment in full in good funds before delivery of the merchandise. 30. Auctioneer shall have a lien against the merchandise purchased by the buyer to secure payment of the Auction invoice. Auctioneer is further granted a lien and the right to retain possession of any other property of the buyer then held by the Auctioneer or its affiliates to secure payment of any Auction invoice or any other amounts due the Auctioneer or affiliates from the buyer. With respect to these lien rights, Auctioneer shall have all the rights of a secured creditor under Article 9 of the Texas Uniform Commercial Code, including but not limited to the right of sale. In addition, with respect to payment of the Auction invoice(s), the buyer waives any and all rights of offset he might otherwise have against the Auctioneer and the consignor of the merchandise included on the invoice. If a Bidder owes Auctioneer or its affiliates on any account, Auctioneer and its affiliates shall have the right to offset such unpaid account by any credit balance due Bidder, and it may secure by possessory lien any unpaid amount by any of the Bidders property in their possession. 31. Title shall not pass to the successful Bidder until all invoices are paid in full. It is the responsibility of the buyer to provide adequate insurance coverage for the items once they have been delivered to a common carrier or third-party shipper. Delivery; Shipping; and Handling Charges: 32. Buyer is liable for shipping and handling. Please refer to Auctioneers website www.HA.com/ common/shipping.php for the latest charges or call Auctioneer. Auctioneer is unable to combine purchases from other auctions or affiliates into one package for shipping purposes. Lots won will be shipped in a commercially reasonable time after payment in good funds for the merchandise and the shipping fees is received or credit extended, except when third-party shipment occurs. 33. Successful international Bidders shall provide written shipping instructions, including specified customs declarations, to the Auctioneer for any lots to be delivered outside of the United States. NOTE: Declaration value shall be the item(s) hammer price together with its buyers premium and Auctioneer shall use the correct harmonized code for the lot. Domestic Buyers on lots designated for third-party shipment must designate the common carrier, accept risk of loss, and prepay shipping costs. 34. All shipping charges will be borne by the successful Bidder. On all domestic shipments, any risk of loss during shipment will be borne by Heritage until the shipping carriers confirmation of delivery to the address of record in Auctioneers file (carriers confirmation is conclusive to prove delivery to Bidder; if the client has a Signature release on file with the carrier, the package is considered delivered without Signature) or delivery by Heritage to Bidders selected third-party shipper. On all foreign shipments, any risk of loss during shipment will be borne by the Bidder following Auctioneers delivery to the Bidders designated common carrier or third-party shipper. 35. Due to the nature of some items sold, it shall be the responsibility for the successful Bidder to arrange pick-up and shipping through third-parties; as to such items Auctioneer shall have no liability. Failure to pick-up or arrange shipping in a timely fashion (within ten days) shall subject Lots to storage and moving charges, including a $100 administration fee plus $10 daily storage for larger items and $5.00 daily for smaller items (storage fee per item) after 35 days. In the event the Lot is not removed within ninety days, the Lot may be offered for sale to recover any past due storage or moving fees, including a 10% Sellers Commission. 36. The laws of various countries regulate the import or export of certain plant and animal properties, including (but not limited to) items made of (or including) ivory, whalebone, turtle shell, coral, crocodile, or other wildlife. Transport of such lots may require special licenses for export, import, or both. Bidder is responsible for: 1) obtaining all information on such restricted items for both export and import; 2) obtaining all such licenses and/or permits. Delay or failure to obtain any such license or permit does not relieve the buyer of timely compliance with standard payment terms. For further information, please contact Ron Brackemyre at 800- 872-6467 ext. 1312. 37. Any request for shipping verification for undelivered packages must be made within 30 days of shipment by Auctioneer. Cataloging, Warranties and Disclaimers: 38.

Bidder, by non-compliance to these express terms of a granted remedy, shall waive any claim against Auctioneer. 44. Notice: Some Property sold by Auctioneer are inherently dangerous e.g. firearms, cannons, and small items that may be swallowed or ingested or may have latent defects all of which may cause harm to a person.

Auctioneer in no event shall be responsible for consequential damages, incidental damages, compensatory damages, or any other damages arising or claimed to be arising from the auction of any lot. In the event that Auctioneer cannot deliver the lot or subsequently it is established that the lot lacks title, or other transfer or condition issue is claimed, in such cases the sole remedy shall be limited to rescission of sale and refund of the amount paid by Bidder; in no case shall Auctioneers maximum liability exceed the high bid on that lot, which bid shall be deemed for all purposes the value of the lot. After one year has elapsed, Auctioneers maximum liability shall be limited to any commissions and fees Auctioneer earned on that lot. 47.

THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. Any appeals shall be solely pursued in the appellate courts of the State of Texas; or b) for any claimant other than a consumer, the claim shall be presented in confidential binding arbitration before a single arbitrator, that the parties may agree upon, selected from the JAMS list of Texas arbitrators. The case is not to be administrated by JAMS; however, if the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator, then JAMS shall appoint the arbitrator and it shall be conducted under JAMS rules. The locale shall be Dallas Texas. The arbitrators award may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. Any party on any claim involving the purchase or sale of numismatic or related items may elect arbitration through binding PNG arbitration. Any claim must be brought within one (1) year of the alleged breach, default or misrepresentation or the claim is waived. This agreement and any claims shall be determined and construed under Texas law. The prevailing party (party that is awarded substantial and material relief on its claim or defense) may be awarded its reasonable attorneys fees and costs. 49. No claims of any kind can be considered after the settlements have been made with the consignors. Any dispute after the settlement date is strictly between the Bidder and consignor without involvement or responsibility of the Auctioneer. 50. In consideration of their participation in or application for the Auction, a person or entity (whether the successful Bidder, a Bidder, a purchaser and/or other Auction participant or registrant) agrees that all disputes in any way relating to, arising under, connected with, or incidental to these Terms and Conditions and purchases, or default in payment thereof, shall be arbitrated pursuant to the arbitration provision. In the event that any matter including actions to compel arbitration, construe the agreement, actions in aid or arbitration or otherwise needs to be litigated, such litigation shall be exclusively in the Courts of the State of Texas, in Dallas County, Texas, and if necessary the corresponding appellate courts. For such actions, the successful Bidder, purchaser, or Auction participant also expressly submits himself to the personal jurisdiction of the State of Texas. 51. These Terms & Conditions provide specific remedies for occurrences in the auction and delivery process. Where such remedies are afforded, they shall be interpreted strictly. Bidder agrees that any claim shall utilize such remedies; Bidder making a claim in excess of those remedies provided in these Terms and Conditions agrees that in no case whatsoever shall Auctioneers maximum liability exceed the high bid on that lot, which bid shall be deemed for all purposes the value of the lot. Miscellaneous: 52. Agreements between Bidders and consignors to effectuate a non-sale of an item at Auction, inhibit bidding on a consigned item to enter into a private sale agreement for said item, or to utilize the Auctioneers Auction to obtain sales for non-selling consigned items subsequent to the Auction, are strictly prohibited. If a subsequent sale of a previously consigned item occurs in violation of this provision, Auctioneer reserves the right to charge Bidder the applicable Buyers Premium and consignor a Sellers Commission as determined for each auction venue and by the terms of the sellers agreement. 53. Acceptance of these Terms and Conditions qualifies Bidder as a client who has consented to be contacted by Heritage in the future. In conformity with do-not-call regulations promulgated by the Federal or State regulatory agencies, participation by the Bidder is affirmative consent to being contacted at the phone number shown in his application and this consent shall remain in effect until it is revoked in writing. Heritage may from time to time contact Bidder concerning sale, purchase, and auction opportunities available through Heritage and its affiliates and subsidiaries. 54.

Rev. 1-18-12

Additional Terms & Conditions: COMICS & COMIC ART AUCTIONS
COMICS & COMIC ART TERM A: Signature Auctions are not on approval. No certified material may be returned because of possible differences of opinion with respect to the grade offered by any third-party organization, dealer, or service. No guarantee of grade is offered for uncertified Property sold and subsequently submitted to a third-party grading service. There are absolutely no exceptions to this policy. Under extremely limited circumstances, (e.g. gross cataloging error) a purchaser, who did not bid from the floor, may request Auctioneer to evaluate voiding a sale; such request must be made in writing detailing the alleged gross error, and submission of the lot to the Auctioneer must be pre-approved by the Auctioneer. A bidder must notify the appropriate department head (check the inside front cover of the catalog or our website for a listing of department heads) in writing of such request within three (3) days of the non-floor bidders receipt of the lot. Any lot that is to be evaluated must be in our offices within 30 days after Auction. Grading does not qualify for this evaluation process nor do such complaints constitute a basis to challenge the authenticity of a lot. AFTER THAT 30-DAY PERIOD, NO LOTS MAY BE RETURNED FOR REASONS OTHER THAN AUTHENTICITY. Lots returned must be housed intact in the original holder. No lots purchased by floor Bidders may be returned (including those Bidders acting as agents for others). Late remittance for purchases may be considered just cause to revoke all return privileges. COMICS & COMIC ART TERM B: Auctions conducted solely on the Internet have a THREE (3) DAY RETURN POLICY: Lots paid for within seven days of the Auction closing are sold with a three (3) day return privilege. You may return lots under the following conditions: Within three days of receipt of the lot, you must first notify Auctioneer by contacting Client Service by phone (1-800-872-6467) or e-mail (Bid@HA.com), and immediately mail the lot(s) fully insured to the attention of Returns, Heritage, 3500 Maple Avenue, 17th Floor, Dallas TX 75219-3941. Lots must be housed intact in their original holder and condition. You are responsible for the insured, safe delivery of any lots. A non-negotiable return fee of 5% of the purchase price ($10 per lot minimum) will be deducted from the refund for each returned lot or billed directly. Postage and handling fees are not refunded. After the three-day period (from receipt), no items may be returned for any reason. Late remittance for purchases revokes all Return-Restock privileges. COMICS & COMIC ART TERM C: Bidders who have inspected the lots prior to the auction will not be granted any return privileges. COMICS & COMIC ART TERM D: Comic books sold referencing a third-party grading service are sold as is without any express or implied warranty. Certain warranties may be available from the grading services and the Bidder is referred to them for further details: Comics Guaranty Corporation (CGC), P.O. Box 4738, Sarasota, FL 34230. COMICS & COMIC ART TERM E: Bidders who intend to challenge authenticity or provenance of a lot must notify Auctioneer in writing within thirty (30) days of the Auctions conclusion. In the event Auctioneer cannot deliver the lot or subsequently it is established that the lot lacks title, provenance, authenticity, or other transfer or condition issue is claimed, Auctioneers liability shall be limited to rescission of sale and refund of purchase price; in no case shall Auctioneers maximum liability exceed the high bid on that lot, which bid shall be deemed for all purposes the value of the lot. After one year has elapsed, Auctioneers maximum liability shall be limited to any commissions and fees Auctioneer earned on that lot. COMICS & COMIC ART TERM F: All comics are guaranteed genuine, but are not guaranteed as to grade, since grading is a matter of opinion, an art and not a science, and therefore the opinion rendered by the Auctioneer or any third party grading service may not agree with the opinion of others (including trained experts), and the same expert may not grade the same item with the same grade at two different times. COMICS & COMIC ART TERM G: Since we cannot examine encapsulated comics, they are sold as is without our grading opinion, and may not be returned for any reason. Auctioneer shall not be liable for any patent or latent defect or controversy pertaining to or arising from any encapsulated collectible. In any such instance, purchasers remedy, if any, shall be solely against the service certifying the collectible. COMICS & COMIC ART TERM H: Due to changing grading standards over time, differing interpretations, and to possible mishandling of items by subsequent owners, Auctioneer reserves the right to grade items differently than shown on certificates from any grading service that accompany the items. Auctioneer also reserves the right to grade items differently than the grades shown in the prior catalog should such items be reconsigned to any future auction. COMICS & COMIC ART TERM I: Although consensus grading is employed by most grading services, it should be noted as aforesaid that grading is not an exact science. In fact, it is entirely possible that if a lot is broken out of a plastic holder and resubmitted to another grading service or even to the same service, the lot could come back with a different grade assigned. COMICS & COMIC ART TERM J: Certification does not guarantee protection against the normal risks associated with potentially volatile markets. The degree of liquidity for certified collectibles will vary according to general market conditions and the particular lot involved. For some lots there may be no active market at all at certain points in time. For wiring instructions call the Credit department at 1-800-872-6467 or e-mail: CreditDept@HA.com

$2,000,000 SOLD iN HERiTAgE AucTiONS!

August 28, 2011
Mr. Barry Sandoval Heritage Auctions Dallas, Texas Dear Barry, I wanted to thank you and your colleagues for everything that Heritage has done marketing and auctioning the comic book collection of my late brother-in-law Gary Dahlberg. When Gary passed away, the family knew very little about vintage comic collecting. We knew Garys collection was valuable but had no idea how valuable. We discussed the collection with several of the leaders in the comic book collecting industry before selecting Heritage to represent us. We were all thrilled to see Garys collection featured in a special catalog with photographs and his personal biography, as well as in all of the printed mailers and brochures you put out before the Signature Auctions. With your cooperation and involvement, the collection was covered in many magazine and newspaper articles, making the front page of the Minneapolis Star Tribune. It was also shown on TV news. Heritage committed to using its considerable resourses in marketing this collection. You sure came through. I was present at the first auction which featured extremely competitive bidding, and saw the first 400 comics sell for well over $1 million. Sales at this point are close to $2 million and still going strong. I strongly feel that Heritage made sure that Garys collection was prepared and presented in the most profitable way. In doing this, Garys name and collection has become well known to every serious collector in the country. I dont think anyone could have done a better job. I have talked to many people in your company over the last several months. Everyone I talked to was very patient with me and took the time to make sure all of my questions were completely answered. The entire family is impressed with your expertise and professionalism throughout the process. We all are extremely glad that we chose Heritage to represent us. Sincerely, Tom Madison
