Maneely cover/art; origin & 1st app of the Black Knight and the Crusader; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 7 (CBI)Black Knight Comics #1, released in May 1955, marked the debut of the new character created by writer Stan Lee and artist Joe Maneely. The story introduced Sir Percy of Scandia, a medieval knight who inhabited the universe of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. The courageous knight starts out his comics career by assisting Merlin in protecting King Arthur from his nephew, Mordred, and the scheming of Morgana Le Fay.
Black Knight Comics #1 holds historical relevance as both a notable addition to Marvel’s post-war output at the dawn of the Silver Age of Comics, and an early achievement of Stan Lee and Joe Maneely. Black Knight Comics #1 also holds value as a key issue, marking the introduction of a character who would later become a mainstay in Marvel's comic book universe. Kit Harrington’s appearance as The Black Knight in the MCU’s “Eternals” has sparked continued speculation about Marvel Studios' plans for the hero.
Finding Atlas Comics in higher grades can be quite challenging as the publisher printed limited runs on low-quality paper during the post-hero era after WWII. This 8.0 copy of Black Knight #1 is in fact the second-highest copy graded on the CGC boards. While there are just under 150 examples of this book on the registry, the vast majority of copies are mid-grade or under. This book offers plenty of eye appeal, with overpowering colors and a clean black wash highlighting the well-preserved condition of this rare find. Fans of Marvel’s wilderness years are sure to be awaiting this auction with bated breath. An 8.5 copy of The Black Knight #1 sold for $43,200 in November 2021.
Overstreet Guide 2022 VF (8.0) value = $4,350.
