Edgar Church / Mile High Copy
Highest Graded
Rocket Comics #3 was the end 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 striking 9.4 Mile Rocket Comics #3 is typical of the Golden Age books preserved as part of the prestigious Mile High pedigree. Collectors seldom see such full colors and sturdy construction in any Golden Age title — let alone a pioneering book that's been beloved for 85 years! This copy easily ranks at the top of the scarce 8 copies in the CGC Census, and is the only book graded above 5.5.
Completing the short-lived run of Rocket Comics, this third issue is painfully rare, with a scant eight copies listed on the CGC boards. This book is in a remarkable state given its vintage, as most Mile High pedigree books are extremely well-preserved, bright, clean, and sturdy. The complete set of Rocket Comics is available in EA #62, and considering the scarcity, condition, and value, they are all sure to be the subject of intense bidding come auction time.
