Bernard Baily cover/art; Spectre cover (9/40) Comic Book Impact rating of 7 (CBI)
Edgar Church / Mile High CopyThere is something deeply disturbing about the Spectre, a superhero that resides in one of the darkest corners of the comic book world. It's tragic that the character is not presently more celebrated, as his grim and foreboding appearance commingle with an array of powers that are awesome and chilling all at once. The concept of an undead policeman, who is impervious to harm, reads minds, performs telekinetic feats, and can transmute into a ghostly form is an inspired mixture, one which could only have crawled out of the murky depths of comics' seamy older brother, the pulp magazine.This book hails from the revered Edgar Church/Mile High pedigree, and is in such impossible condition that it seems to have been in stasis for the past seventy-six years. The colors seems freshly printed, the corners are sharp, and the Bernard Baily cover art is certainly one of his more-memorable pieces. Golden Age books just do not get better than this. For those collectors with a true penchant for the down and dirty underbelly of the GA, this book is firing on all cylinders. Mile High books are always breaking records in our auctions. The winner of this book will have to go all out to get it.
