"Battles Hitler" classic photographic coverOne of the truly iconic covers of the Golden Age, and the title on the cover says it all, Daredevil Battles Hitler! The Original Daredevil was created by Jack Binder and many legendary creators worked on the character including Jack Cole, Don Rico, and the great Charles Biro. Dynamic art and spellbinding storytelling make this book a must have for any Golden Age aficionado. Notable not only for its full-frontal propaganda against the Third Reich pre-WWII, but for its Japanese war stories written months before the Pearl Harbor attack! A truly classic book.
This is the highest-graded copy of this important and hugely collectible piece of American publishing history, and we've simply never, ever seen a copy as nice as this. Truly serious Golden Age collectors will instantly recognize the importance and value of this incredible find, and we expect it to be one of the most popular and sought after books in this auction.
Overstreet 2011 NM- 9.2 value = $23,500; CGC census 6 in 9.4, none higher.
