Catching the eyes of browsers at newsstands was the name of the game during the Golden Age — and when it came to sales, DC set the pace in the late 1930s. Fred Guardineer’s masterful cover illustration for Adventure Comics #45 is a classic of the period, appealing to the established fan base for pulps as well as the burgeoning comic book audience. The classic contents feature a Sandman tale and contributions from legendary writers Gardiner Fox and Jerry Siegel, plus art from acclaimed GA draftsmen Bob Kane and Creig Flessel.
This impressive 9.6 book is typical of the high quality of the Edgar Church/Mile High Collection — and easily ranks at the top of only 25 copies in the CGC Census!. The preservation and structural integrity of this book have to be seen to be believed. Looking as though it was kept in a state of suspended animation, this 85-year-old gem is certain to bring bidders running come auction time.
Overstreet Guide 2023 NM- (9.2) value = $9,000.00
