classic Bernard Baily Spectre cvr/art; 1st app. of Dr. Fate (Kent Nelson), 1st Wotan & Inza, 4th Spectre
Nova Scotia Copy
First, there's Bernard Baily's classic cover art for the Spectre's fourth appearance, revered by Golden Age collectors and scholars as among the most evocative and memorable of all DC imagery. Then this beloved comic becomes even more collectible with the first appearance of Dr. Fate. The debut of DC's resident sorcerer helped solidify the company's stable of mystical and moody characters. Without the dark mystery and dramatic origin of Dr. Fate, none of the Bronze Age's occult wizardry would have been possible—with the character also becoming a vital part of DC's storytelling throughout the ensuing decades. This legendary book remains a top investment and beloved title for all serious collectors of the Golden Age.
While the Big Three GA keys have long gotten all the attention and excitement, aficionados know the real action is in books such as these, the super-rare treasures. These twilight, gloomy works have been cult classics amongst comic collectors for over twenty-five years, and are now finally taking their proper place alongside the Action #1s and Detective #27s. This copy, in amazing condition, comes from the Nova Scotia pedigree, a collection from Canada featuring unusually high-grade Golden Age material, long prized for their terrific page quality and wonderful color. This is a sterling example, with dark, rich blacks and bone-white pages. The cream of the crop, Spectre covers are among the pinnacle of Golden Age DC comics, and this sparkling copy is a prime example of the period.
Overstreet Guide 2016 NM- (9.2) value = $36,000.
