Highest GradedFrank Frazetta's early work on the Buck Rogers cover of Famous Funnies #214 is more than just a classic of the form. The rich red beauty also marks the legendary artist's transition from a well-respected draftsman to the Master of Fantasy Art. Frazetta's early work has recently enjoyed a renaissance amongst collectors looking for new opportunities to invest in Frazetta's timeless work.This 9.2 copy is tied as one of the highest-graded book on the CGC Census. (An 8.5 book moved this collectible's price into the five-figures in 2023.) The blazing colors on this cover are extremely strong given the book’s 70-year vintage; all of the subtle nuances of Frazetta's memorable illustration are on full display. The preservation of the book is quite impressive, with very few imperfections visible.
