All-American Comics #18-21 Bound Volume
<B>All-American Comics #18-21 Softcover Bound Volume (DC, 1940).</B></I> Each of these issues is a tall order to find on its own, and finding all four in such attractive shape would border on impossible. These issues have some of the earliest Green Lantern and Atom stories, including the first appearance of the Atom in #19. And of course, we mustn't forget the Red Tornado's debut in #20. There are plenty of never-reprinted stories here, plus, every one of these meaty 64-pagers has heart-stopping house ads for the likes of <B>All Star</B></I> #2 and the 1940 <B>New York World's Fair</B></I> comic. The covers of the issues look fantastic; the pages are cream to off-white, not tan! The comics are bound in an off-white slick-paper cover with the titles and issue numbers handwritten on the spine (while we don't know the provenance, we have seen softcover volumes from later issues of the series before). The outside edges have been trimmed as is customary for bound volumes. A future owner might want to have these re-bound as a hardcover, an inexpensive process. Considering that high-grade copies of the originals would run you a total of $30,000-plus, this volume is a very attractive option.
