All Star Comics #1-12 Bound Volume (1940-42)
<B>All Star Comics #1-12 Bound Volume (DC, 1940-42) .</B></I> Here's one to make you go weak at the knees. What might seem like a joke or a misprint is neither, this volume really does contain the first twelve issues of one of the most collectible series ever, featuring two of the 25 most valuable Golden Age books, namely #3 (the first appearance of the Justice Society of America) and #8 (the first appearance of Wonder Woman). The book is the office copy of M.C. Gaines, co-publisher of All-American Comics, publisher of the early run of this title which co-starred some heroes from sister publisher DC. The significance of these early issues is well-documented, and this series is a run that has always been tough to put together -- witness the late JSA superfan Jerry Bails, who searched for 14 years to find all 57 issues! The pages of this book are cream to off-white, with no brittleness, and the covers look very fresh and appealing. As is customary with bound volumes, the comics have been trimmed in the binding process.
