2nd part origin Spectre; 1st app. in costume; classic bondage cvr
Rockford CopyWhile his gruesome origin story began in the previous issue, the cover of this classic installment heralds the real arrival of the Spectre, and the first appearance of the character in his distinctive costume. Easily the darkest and most atmospheric of DC Golden-Age comics, the Spectre, acting as the spirit of vengeance, was the murky, moody cousin to the publisher's typical bright and peppy hero entries, and became the cult favorite of hardcore Golden-Age collectors. Brooding and brutal, with a distinctly surreal edge, Spectre covers and appearances continue to entrance collectors, and the evocative image gracing this issue should provide an idea as to why. More Fun Spectre issues are the caviar of the Golden-Age hero world, and never fail to excite and entice collectors.With only one other copy graded higher (which we just sold for over $140,000), this certified 9.6 copy hails from the esteemed Rockford Collection. The colors are vibrant and bright, the interior pages remain a lovely cream to off-white. There are absolutely no defects visible to the naked eye. They just don't get any better than this.
Overstreet Guide 2015 NM- (9.2) value = $84,000
