Zip Comics #2 has the original Man of Steel using a trick from the Superman playbook as Steel Sterling thwarts a prison break by picking up the means of escape. It's yet another classic Zip cover from Charles Biro — with the Golden Age artist becoming a major part of keeping the original Zip Comics run going as constant collectibles. That wild imagery also sets up "The Return of the Black Knight," where Steel stops a prison break and goes after the crime lord who made his debut in the previous issue.
_________________________________________________
This striking 9.6 Zip Comics #2 sports all the rich colors and quality condition that's expected of the Edgar Church/Mile High pedigree, and also ranks at the top of the scarce 17 copies listed on the CGC Census. This is exactly the kind of comic that needs to be preserved, as well, featuring Charles Biro's exciting innovations to his classic cover art. The fun use of screening to create a spotlight effect is enhanced by enduringly bold yellows and reds. The purple twilight looks equally amazing while providing all the impact of the original contrast. That's all presented beautifully with sharp corners and a spine that's impressively intact after 85 years!
