Kentucky CollectionOne of the most chilling covers of the Golden Age, and one of the most haunting of all villain origin stories. The emergence of Solomon Grundy perfectly captures the dark, macabre twilight feel of some of DC's Golden Age comics. The stories reflected the nervous, emotionally charged atmosphere of wartime America. Grundy is the reanimated corpse of a murder victim who turns to an after-life of crime. His spree leads him on a collision course with the Green Lantern. Eventually beating the brute without his superpowers, Alan Scott throws him in front of a moving train. But, you cannot kill that which is already dead, so Grundy shambled on into comic book lore, gaining a loyal fan base along the way.
The professional restoration performed on this copy of All-American #61 has replenished its creepy, Halloween vibe to its original state, the bright colors glow while the darker hues appear cool to the touch. The classic image of Grundy rising out of the muck heralded the introduction of a DC mainstay, one of the more ghoulish of the publisher’s baddies that would bridge the gap from the Golden Age to the Bronze Age revival of the more sinister tone that defined the eras. Always a popular issue at auction, this is a wonderful opportunity to add this important key to your investment collection.
Overstreet Guide 2020 VF (8.0) value = $14,800.
