More Fun Comics #55 has earned its enduring reputation as one of the top artifacts of the Golden Age of Comics. First, there's Bernard Baily's classic cover art for the Spectre's fourth appearance, revered by collectors and scholars as among the most evocative and memorable of all DC imagery. This beloved comic then becomes even more collectible with the first appearance of Dr. Fate. The debut of DC's resident sorcerer helped solidify the company's stable of mystical and moody characters. Without the dark mystery and dramatic origin of Dr. Fate, none of the Bronze Age's occult wizardry would have been possible — with the character also becoming a vital part of DC's storytelling throughout the ensuing decades.
Of course, the Spectre has also spent decades as a fan favorite, with fans currently anticipating the character finally making a big-screen debut as part of the developing DC Extended Universe. This legendary book remains a top investment and beloved title for all serious collectors of the Golden Age.
