1st Dr. Occult in costume (Superman prototype)
Edgar Church / Mile High Copy
Highest GradedBefore More Fun Comics became the launching pad for a variety of DC’s biggest heroes of the Golden Age the book was a repository for all forms of anthology fodder, from kiddie one-shots to classic novel adaptations, nearly anything could be found within the pages of this important milestone of the industry. There are a couple of reasons this issue, in particular, has caught the attention of savvy collectors, those being the first appearance of Dr. Occult, a character that was considered a precursor to Superman, and the inclusion of Seigel and Shuster’s “Calling All Cars” feature, wrapping the Man of Steel’s inspiration and his creators up in one neat package. Certainly of interest to Golden Age bidders, this is a hard-to-find issue with great historical import.

This Mile High pedigree copy is in very admirable condition, albeit a bit more careworn than most books from the legendary collection, this is one of the top copies of an extremely rare book. With just 30 examples listed on the census, this comic is sure to be the object of intense bidding thanks to its importance to the history of DC, as well as the esteem associated with any Edgar Church book out there.
Overstreet Guide 2021 F/VF (7.0) value = $11,137.
