Bert Whitman cover; origin & 1st app. of Cyclone (6/40) RARE TITLE
Edgar Church / Mile High Copy
Highest GradedThe scarce 3-issue run of 1940's Whirlwind Comics are some of the most collectible books of the Golden Age, serving as legendary cartoonist Bert Whitman's first bid for comics stardom. This 64-page debut issue featured the origin of Bert's own superhero The Cyclone, plus Golden Age figures Inspector Blake of Scotland Yard, Rex Royce of the Canadian Mounted Police, Wings Bordon, and Smash Dawson — as depicted by a bullpen including V.J. Kay, Henry Boltinoff, Robert Turner, Rudolf Johnson, and pioneering Filipino-American artist Pagsilang Rey Isip.
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 22 copies in the CGC Census! This vibrant book has all the visual impact of when Whirlwind hit the newsstands 80 years ago, including strikingly subtle touches in the rich color work.
