classic cover; origin & 1st app. of Solomon Grundy (feat. in TV's Stargirl) Comic Book Impact rating of 7 (CBI)One of the most chilling covers of the Golden Age, and one of the most haunting of all villain origin stories. The emergence of Solomon Grundy perfectly captures the dark, macabre twilight feel of some of DC's Golden Age comics. The stories reflected the nervous, emotionally charged atmosphere of wartime America. Grundy is the reanimated corpse of a murder victim who turns to an after-life of crime. His spree leads him on a collision course with the Green Lantern. Eventually beating the brute without his superpowers, Alan Scott throws him in front of a moving train. But, you cannot kill that which is already dead, so Grundy shambled on into comic book lore, gaining a loyal fan base along the way.
This VF- copy of this cult classic features glowing reds and deep blue and brown hues, boasting considerable eye appeal, this comic is a favorite of horror hounds and Golden Age superhero fans alike.
Overstreet Guide 2018 VF- (7.5) value = $10,200.
