All-American Comics #16 CGC Apparent GD/VG
<B>All-American Comics #16 (DC, 1940) CGC Apparent GD/VG 3.0 Slight (A) Cream to off-white pages.</B></I> This is one of the big ones in comic collecting, which has the origin and first appearance of Green Lantern. That it also rates a Gerber "7" and an Overstreet "Rare" just adds to the allure. The issue currently ranks as the 5th most valuable comic of all, nestled between <B>Superman</B></I> #1 and <B>Batman</B></I> #1 - pretty heady company! Inside there's a full page ad for another milestone comic book issue, <B>All-Star Comics </B></I>#1. Martin Nodell created the character and provided story art, but it was another DC mainstay, Sheldon Moldoff, who created the iconic cover. CGC notes, "Restoration includes: small amount of color touch on cover, cover cleaned." It's noteworthy that the highest grade CGC has certified for an unrestored copy to date is just FN- 5.5. Overstreet 2007 GD 2.0 value = $10,000; VG 4.0 value = $20,000. <BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Comics - Slabbed (certified) (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
