Ruben Blades Copy
Double Comics were a pretty good deal when a copy would occasionally appear on the newsstands between 1940 and 1944. Each issue's covers would be wrapped around two random comics left remaindered from recent editions. (This issue is one of the book's earliest runs.) Kids buying the books because of the cover, however, were often disappointed. Double Comics had a tradition of wild covers that featured heroes who never appeared in any actual comics!
Any other buyers still made a smart investment. Double Comics ended up preserving some of the rarest books of the Golden Age, thanks to the comics having a particularly sturdy spine. This issue's titles are specified below...__________________________
This 8.0 copy of a rare early Double Comics edition is an impressive preservation of a Golden Age figure who never made more than a cover appearance! The two books making up the interior contents are equally rare. There are only 24 copies of Zip Comics #22 in the CGC Census, and only 13 copies of Mystery Men #29 in the CGC Census, with each book having only one copy graded above 8.0. The book is also notable for that cover by Golden Age illustrator Ray Ramsey, who gave Tornado Tim one heck of a single appearance!
