SCARCE! 1st app. Fantom of the Fair (7/39)
Atlantic City Copy
Highest Graded
The 1939 New York World's Fair was a big deal in its day, presenting all forms of displays and amusement, exotic cuisine, advancements in technology, and many other attractions that wowed attendees of the event. So it seems reasonable that Centaur (along with competitor DC) would want to cash in on the fervor surrounding the show and move some issues of their four-color treats. And so, the Fantom of the Fair was born, a black-suited, red-caped crime-fighter who protected the World's Fair from ne'er-do-wells who hoped to create mayhem and disrupt the celebration. The Fantom would go on to adventures beyond the scope of Flushing Meadows Park in future issues, but this is his first thrilling appearance.
