Edgar Church / Mile High Copy
Highest GradedThanks to the overwhelmingly positive response and success of the DCEU’s “Shazam!” the Big Red Cheese’s star is once again on the rise in the ever-shifting world of comic book fandom. DC’s Captain Marvel was once the biggest selling book in the business, moving more copies than Superman, which led to a copyright lawsuit that DC won against Cap’s publisher Fawcett, and eventually handed the rights to the character over to Superman’s imprint. This is all ancient history to modern-day Captain Marvel fans, who are likely looking at the amazing C.C. Beck cover to Captain Marvel Adventures #13 in awe. This cover is truly a cut above what was the norm for the Golden Age, a triumph of light and shadow that shows the titular hero knocking the block off of a living statue. This is a popular cover from the era, showcasing one of the most beloved characters of the industry’s halcyon days. Mile High copy -- just the mere utterance of these sacred words makes the ears of comic collectors perk up and take notice. The most storied pedigree in the hobby makes another appearance in our 50th Event Auction with this stellar copy of Captain Marvel Adventures #13. Not only is this 9.8 copy the single highest graded known, but it also bears the QES seal of approval for its impressive focal area, sharp right edge, and deep color strike. This issue contains a two-page pin-up of Captain Marvel and a wonderful C.C. Beck cover design. This Edgar Church copy is guaranteed to see a frenzy of bids once the auction kicks off.
