Edgar Church / Mile High Copy
Highest GradedThe Spectre is one of those anomalies in the history of Golden Age comics, albeit many books from this era dealt with dark subject matter, but, none delved as deeply into the macabre and ghoulish as the More Fun Spectre run, not until EC and the horror comics' craze of the 50s would things be as grisly and gloomy. This particular issue deals with the story of the Spectre doing battle with an evil scientist and a disembodied brain with special psychic abilities, as well as Dr. Fate and Congo Bill tales to round out the book.This copy of More Fun #62 comes with a whole lot of provenance, quantifying it as THE finest copy of this issue known to the hobby. Not only does it hail from the "hands-down" greatest pedigree, Edgar Church / Mile High, known by serious collectors as the finest collection of Golden Age comics around, but this book is also the highest graded on the census, and if that's not enough, this example also comes from the painstakingly curated Nicolas Cage collection. Insanely bright colors dominate this cover, beautifully centered, tight and clean, this book sure is a doozy.
Overstreet Guide 2018 NM- (9.2) value = $6,000.
