classic Biro robot cover; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 7 (CBI)
Edgar Church / Mile High Copy
Highest GradedBiro cover. Robot cover. BIRO ROBOT COVER. Plus, a lady in distress. And a big, swarthy dude raring to punch the robot. You try to tell me this is isn't one of the most awesome things you've ever seen. MLJ Biro covers were pure, concentrated mayhem, everything thrown in but the kitchen sink, and this terrific action-packed image is a fine example.The Edgar Church/Mile High pedigree is rightly acknowledged as the preeminent comics pedigree, with finely preserved, sharp comics that look as fresh today as when they were first printed. This stunning 9.2 Mile High is the Highest graded and the next best is only 6.5. CGC has graded only 3 total copies of this very rare book. This is not only an extremely rare book, but is also from the Church pedigree, making it an irresistible gem for any serious Golden Age aficianado.
