Lou Fine cover!; 1st app. Hercules, Red Bee
DC Premiere CollectionA Golden Age goodie stuffed to bursting with origins and first appearances, most notably the premiere of Quality Comics' Hercules, the musclebound, blonde-tressed superhero created by GA artist extraordinaire, Dan Zolnerowich. But that’s not all -- this book also contains the first appearance of the kookiest of all color+insect heroes of the era, the bizarre Red Bee, who wears a pirate shirt and striped pants, and keeps his pet bee sidekick, Michael, in his belt buckle. Certainly, one of the more over the top creations of the already certifiably insane Golden Age. Hewing to the anthology structure established at the dawn of comics, Hit Comics #1 also offers up the first sightings of Secret Agent X-5, Jack and Jill, Neon the Unknown, Casey Jones, and even more. All original content, all fresh and new creations, with contributions from the fabled Eisner/Iger Studio, this book could not get much better, unless it was wrapped in a mind-blowing masterpiece by GA wunderkind Lou Fine, which it is! This comic should have won some kind of award for being so awesome.
Boasting a stunning color palette on this typically impressive Lou Fine cover, the reds and yellow shine bright and the blues are resplendent, from the boat to the sky to the water, the hues of blue are sharp and varied, stretching the four-color process to its limits. As is to be expected from an 80 year old comic, there is some slight wear around the edges of this copy, but it is barely noticeable, as the viewer’s eye is magnetically drawn to the action dominating every inch of this explosive cover design. This issue is candy to Golden Age collectors and is sure to be a subject of contention amongst the rabid fans of the era.
Overstreet Guide 2019 F/VF (7.0) value = $4,455.
