classic bondage cover (3/48) Comic Book Impact rating of 8 (BCI)Brenda Starr #14 features a seriously racy pre-code GGA cover by Jack Kamen, one of the talented pros that worked at the Eisner/Iger studio in the post-war era. Brenda Starr rose to fame in a series of weekly comic strips that showcased the female reporter and her glamorous wardrobe as she got into all kinds of mystery and adventure. This cover certainly bears a memorable image, showing a scantily clad captive attempting to signal for help via morse code, although bondage covers were common in the Golden Age, this one is definitely a classic of the form.
Although this book has some minor condition issues, they are fairly easy to overlook given the stunning image of the damsel in distress that dominates the design. Fans of GGA are sure to duke it out over this very special comic, we expect it will be a sleeper hit in our upcoming Event Auction.
Overstreet Guide 2018 F/VF (7.0) value = $2,225.
