The Brothers 3 by Will Eisner; originally published in Funny Picture Stories V1 #4
Highest GradedAs legend has it, Batman co-creator Bob Kane convinced his high-school friend and fellow artist, Will Eisner, to submit pages to editor Jerry Iger to get work in the incipient comic book business, and, in that instant, a legendary force in the industry was born. The impact of the Eisner/Iger studio on the amorphous beginnings of the art form is immeasurable and undeniable, helping form the very fabric of what is one of the truly pure American art forms. This supplement, featuring The Brothers 3, was published in 1937, making this some of the earliest Eisner work to have seen the light of day. The plot is loosely based on the P.C. Wren novel "Beau Geste," which sees a trio of siblings join the Foreign Legion and experience epic adventures as they seek their fame and fortune. The combination of early artwork by Will Eisner and the incredible rarity of this supplement is guaranteed to make it a hot ticket at auction.
We've never seen this book before, we've never heard of it, nobody has ever mentioned it, and it doesn't appear anywhere in the Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide. This supplement represents a whole different level of impossible that we almost never see. This discovery is tailor-made for collectors who chase after only the hardest to find comics in the hobby.
