Edgar Church / Mile High Copy
Highest GradedGood Girl Art has long been a cult favorite subset of comics collecting, as the largely male funnybook fanbase can't help but fall in love with the curvy sexy-yet-fresh-faced look of the subgenre's cover models, while ladies, gay collectors, and feminists respond to the surprisingly tough, empowered, athletic look of the no-nonsense dames gracing most GGA classics. Where the 90s Bad Girl Art craze was all about T&A, these classics were about legs, curves, and danger, with a helpful dose of strength, drama, and derring-do. This extremely rare example is among the most sought-after, as it also features WWII cover iconography and a startlingly dynamic cover composition. Only the third copy we've seen in our 30+ years of inventory, and the first we've offered in over ten years, this sterling copy is not only the Church/Mile High pedigree, but is the single highest graded in existence, a stunning, beautiful book with rich colors and amazingly deep blacks. Words can't express how perfectly preserved this copy is, truly, and it's especially nice to see such a true rarity in this kind of impossible condition.
