Adventure Comics #73 (DC, 1942) CGC Apparent
<B>Adventure Comics #73 (DC, 1942) CGC Apparent VG/FN 5.0 Moderate (P) Cream to off-white pages.</B></I> This one's more valuable than Simon and Kirby's DC premiere in #72, and the reason for that is scarcity! While the high value (it's one of Overstreet's 100 most valuable Golden Age books) should be bringing more copies out of the woodwork, we've only seen a few. This issue has the origin and the first appearance of Simon and Kirby's Manhunter (not the same character as the Manhunter who had starred in <B>Adventure</B></I> up to this time). This cover by S&K is one of only three cover appearances of the character in this series. Sandman, Hourman, Starman, and the Shining Knight also appear inside. CGC notes, "Restoration includes: color touch, pieces added, tear seals, cover cleaned, reinforced." Overstreet 2007 GD 2.0 value = $1,243; VG 4.0 value = $2,486; FN 6.0 value = $3,729. <I> From the Fantastic Frank Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Comics - Slabbed (certified) (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
