DESCRIPTION
slightly brittle pgs
origin and 1st app of Wonder Woman; one of the scarcest major Golden Age keys! Comic Book Impact rating of 10 (CBI)Wonder Woman was an instant hit who served as a graphic representation of the women's war effort during WWII, predating Rosie the Riveter by two years. All Star Comics #8 contains the very first appearance of Wonder Woman. Although she is not shown on the cover, this issue remains one of the most desirable Golden Age comics thanks to the game-changing debut of one of the first female superheroes. The upside potential for this issue cannot be stressed enough. Wonder Woman's overdue solo film received critical acclaim and birthed a whole new generation of fans, and a reboot of the franchise is currently rumored for the retooled James Gunn DCU which will certainly draw renewed interest to this already incredibly valuable and hard-to-find book.

Action Comics #1, Detective Comics #27, and All Star Comics #8 form the Holy Trinity of DC first appearances, as the three books introduced fan-favorite characters Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman respectively, and paved the way for decades of comics to come. There are fewer than 200 copies currently recorded on the CGC Census making any opportunity to grab up this key extremely desirable. This copy of All Star Comics #8 earned a 4.5 CGC Universal Grade. Classic renditions of many JSA members appear on this E.E. Hibbard cover, albeit, with no hint of everyone's favorite Amazonian whose premiere is hidden within these pages. Another 4.5 CGC All Star Comics #8 recently sold for $43,200. Wonder Woman keys are still undervalued, especially compared to Batman and Superman, and are often rarer. Landmark issues like this only become increasingly rare and more sought-after over time.
Overstreet Guide 2021 VG+ (4.5) value = $48,656
