1st Spectre app. in costume (one panel)
Edgar Church / Mile High Copy
Highest GradedThis cover presents a pulpy, edgy image of a man defending himself against rabid beasts. Inside, history was being made as the first brief appearance of the Ghostly Guardian, The Spectre, prepared readers for a new era of atmospheric, tortured storytelling. One of the most challenging and haunting of Golden Age hero titles was foreshadowed in a small but memorable ad spot warning of dark glories to come. The very first appearance of the Spectre in costume makes More Fun Comics 51 a highly desirable key comic for collectors that have graduated to the Golden Age. This comic has a fantastic cover by Sheldon Moldoff that is worth the price of admission by itself. The Spectre, however, introduced to readers with six words "Who is he? What is he?" is the real draw. The Spirit of Redemption was here to stay and the world would never forget. More Fun Comics are enjoying a resurgence in popularity after being mostly ignored by collectors for decades.This is one of a number of breathtaking Mile High/Church copies offered in this auction. The vivid colors on the cover of this copy dazzle the eye and bring the rugged scenario to life. The highest-graded copy known to exist, makes it quite irresistible to collectors seeking the absolute finest for their portfolio.
Overstreet Guide 2013 VF/NM (9.0) value = $5,920.
