classic Fred Guardineer art deco Zatara cvr; 1 panel Batman ad for Det #27; RARE! Zatara sci-fi cvr; 1 panel ad for detective #27
Action Comics #12 marked a full year of Superman shaking up the comics industry—with the need for more heroes made clear with a classic Art Deco cover featuring the magician Zatara! Superman makes the cover, too, of course, and gets the lead story with the bizarre "Superman Declares War on Reckless Drivers" (in which he destroys bad drivers' impounded cars, plus a shoddy car factory). Zatara's bizarre inter-dimensional traveling is memorable, too, and (like the cover) features beautiful Fred Guardineer artwork. There's also a one-panel ad for Batman's debut in Detective Comics #27 to further make this a great Golden Age investment!
The classically colorful Art Deco cover (and early Superman story) confirm this 2.0 copy as a smart entry-level collectible!
Overstreet Guide 2023 GD (2.0) value = $3,800.00
