Adventure Comics #66 Mile High 1941 CGC NM 9.4
<B>Adventure Comics #66 Mile High pedigree (DC, 1941) CGC NM 9.4 White pages.</B></I> The only copy graded above 9.0 by CGC as this writing is also the nicest we ever expect to see. The red bar at the top alone is so solid and clean... most collectors would forgive a few smudges and color breaks (and still pay a lot of money for a copy with a couple such peccadilloes), so to see a copy that approximates its condition on the day it was printed is a special experience. The issue has the origin and first appearance of the Shining Knight, who would go on to be a member of the Seven Soldiers of Victory (Generation X comic fans might also remember him from the All-Star Squadron). He would appear in almost every issue of this series for the ensuing ten years. The cover art (which has never looked better than on this copy!) is by Jack Burnley and features Starman. Note that a small white line you'll see on the scan near Starman's thigh is not on the comic itself, rather it's a tiny piece of plastic between the slab and CGC's inner well, not affecting this pristine comic book. Overstreet 2007 NM- 9.2 value = $3,350. CGC census 1/08: 1 in 9.4, none higher.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Comics - Slabbed (certified) (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
