Rocket Comics #2 is a vital part of Hillman Publication’s short-lived title featuring far-out fantasy heroes. Rocket Riley, the Phantom Ranger, and the disfigured Defender were just some of the pioneering crusaders shaping the future of comics. The comic's status as a true Golden Age grail is further ensured by the amazing run of cover art by Ed Kressy and Norman Fallon, featuring action-packed depictions of pioneering fisticuffs!
_______________________________________________
This rare 9.4 Mile Rocket Comics #2 is typical of the Golden Age books preserved as part of the prestigious Mile High pedigree — easily ranking at the top of the scarce 7 books in the CGC Census! The sturdy construction of this gorgeous book also boasts full and rich colors that provide all the impact of when this comic hit the newsstands of 1940!
The kitchen sink approach of Golden Age anthology comics led to a real free-for-all that collectors of these rare treasures find fascinating and irresistible. Rocket Comics is one of those obscure curios of the era that is so scarce on the marketplace that bidders of a certain stripe are sure to come in droves to compete for ownership rights at auction. When you add in the fact that this is the highest-graded copy out of only seven listed on the census, and a Mile High pedigree to boot, the sky’s the limit on this hard-to-find and impeccable book.
