white pgs; second highest 1 of 1! Church/Mile High Copy
rare
Jon Berk CollectionLike any number of WWII-era heroes, Captain Courageous manifested many of the same powers as Superman. Mix in some super-strength, a pinch of flight, a dash of invulnerability, and a generous cup of snappy outfit and, before you know it, you have one ready-made Golden Age superhero, prepared to fight crime and injustice around the globe. Banner Comics was a short-lived affair, notching only three releases before being renamed Captain Courageous Comics for one issue, after which the titular hero found himself a new home in the pages of Four Favorites for a respectable four-year stint. The short run of this title and the relative obscurity of the main character make this book a special gem of the Golden Age; why, the stunning Warren Kremer cover art on this Church copy alone is worth the price of admission.
Overstreet Guide 2016 VF+ (8.5) value = $953.
