Edgar Church / Mile High Copy
Highest GradedThis classic Golden Age issue includes three distinctive Captain Marvel Jr. adventures filled with action and intrigue. "The Real Face of False Face" finds the title baddie meeting his doom at the hands of Mr. Macabre after choosing loyalty to his country over financial gain; the cover story "Captain Marvel Jr. Blazes a Wilderness Trail" concerns the sabotage of a road by outlaw trappers, along with a plug for Yum-Yum gelatin written into the story, and finally "Captain Marvel Jr. Goes to Never Never Land" is a psychedelic trip featuring Sivana, giant mushrooms, green men, and mammoth butterflies in a story that would make the White Rabbit blush. Let us not forget the wonderful Mac Raboy cover design that shows our protagonist ablaze as he hovers over a herd of stags as they run through a snowy landscape. This is the highest graded Golden Age comic certified by CGC. This copy is not only the highest graded GA comic, but it also comes from the Edgar Church / Mile High collection - the most highly respected pedigree in the world of comics. Additionally, this QES Certified book is a double cover, with the 2nd cover an astounding 9.8! Incredible colors, sharp corners, tight spine, and a vibrant Captain Marvel Jr. on a snow-white background, this book is, literally, flawless in every way.
The provenance of this comic alone should be enough to set collector's heads spinning, but this issue also has additional rewards within its pristine pages, three distinctive Captain Marvel Jr. adventures filled with action and intrigue. "The Real Face of False Face" finds the title baddie meeting his doom at the hands of Mr. Macabre after choosing loyalty to his country over financial gain; the cover story "Captain Marvel Jr. Blazes a Wilderness Trail" concerns the sabotage of a road by outlaw trappers, along with a plug for Yum-Yum gelatin written into the story, and finally "Captain Marvel Jr. Goes to Never Never Land" is a psychedelic trip featuring Sivana, giant mushrooms, green men, and mammoth butterflies in a story that would make the White Rabbit blush.

Artist Information
Emmanuel "Mac" Raboy was an American comics artist best known for his comic-book work on Fawcett Comics' Captain Marvel Jr. and as the Sunday comic-strip artist of Flash Gordon for more than 20 years. Cartoonist Drew Friedman has stated, "Raboy was an expert technician with pen and brush, and his lush covers are some of the most unusually beautiful ever to grace comic books". Raboy began his art career with the Works Progress Administration during the Great Depression. In the 1940s he began working with the Harry A. Chesler studio of comics artists. Raboy began drawing comic books and gained fame as the illustrator for Captain Marvel, Jr. and the Green Lama. Raboy was a great admirer of Alex Raymond, and "kept a portfolio of Alex Raymond's "Flash Gordon" comics by his side for inspiration and guidance as he worked". In the spring of 1946, King Features hired Raboy to continue the Sunday page adventures of Flash Gordon, which he continued to work on until his death.
