rare! bondage coverAmazing Man Comics #24, published by Centaur in 1939, is a highly sought-after and exceptionally valuable collectible, representing the infancy of superhero comics. This Golden Age gem stands out for its rarity, with surviving copies scarce due to the passage of time. The anthology-style storytelling, typical of the era, features crude yet effective artwork, showcasing the early evolution of comic book artistry. The issue, with its superhero star, Amazing-Man, adds to its desirability among collectors as one of the pioneering figures in the genre, with an outstanding cover by little-known illustrator Myron Strauss. Collectors covet this piece as a tangible link to the clumsy yet charming art and the anthology-style narrative that defined the early days of superhero comics. With only 12 copies listed on the CGC Census, this book is extremely scarce and hardly ever appears at auction.
