classic Irwin Hasen Solomon Grundy cover/art; Doiby Dickles app.
Highest GradedIn this issue-length storyline, the fearsome Solomon Grundy has escaped from imprisonment and is on the warpath to bring down his hated nemesis, the Green Lantern. The hulking grey villain wreaks havoc across the entire book, battling several members of the JSA in turn and knocking some of them out, getting knocked out himself, heroes fall off cliffs, battle bank robbers, and imposters, going all out in their efforts to contend with Grundy. The action culminates in a battle royale where the JSA manages to subdue Solly, and send him back into exile, this time, he is trapped on the moon, seemingly with no way to return to Earth. This awesome issue is a whole lot of fun, highlighting the continuing metamorphosis from anthology to single-story comics that were coming into vogue, this book did a lot to help make Solomon Grundy one of the premiere DC bad guys, establishing him as a mainstay of the publisher for decades to come. Interesting side note, this issue is the first time Wonder Woman is not referred to as the secretary of the JSA, which was pretty lame, but predictable for the period.
Gadzooks Grundy! This copy of All Star Comics #33 earned a wonderful 9.6 NM+ from CGC, an astonishing grade for any comic, let alone one released in February 1947. This is tied for the highest-graded copy of this classic comic, with only 91 copies noted on the CGC Census. The logo appears beautifully unblemished, a landmark of Golden Age graphic design, and an immediate eye-catcher for any experienced comic collector. Grundy watches over the Justice Society in a crystal ball, with glowing greens gleaming on this gorgeous grail. The mix of heroism and hilarity essential to classic DC Comics is in full view on this amazing copy. This is a stunningly well-preserved comic featuring many of the greatest Golden Age heroes and a landmark villain. Own this piece of comics history today!
