All Star Comics #22 (DC, 1944) CGC FN 6.0
<B>All Star Comics #22 Including Insert Card (DC, 1944) CGC FN 6.0 Off-white pages.</B></I> Looking through this comic before it was encapsulated, we were surprised to find a reply postcard asking the reader's opinion of <B>All Star</B></I> #22 and allowing him to request further information about the "East and West Association." That organization, headed by author Pearl S. Buck, was also behind the Johnny Everyman stories that appeared in <B>World's Finest</B></I> as well as the promotional comic "Out Of The Past A Clue To The Future" (published by M. C. Gaines' EC, and of course this All-American comic was published by Gaines as well). We hadn't ever seen this card before, and we even consulted Roy Thomas, who has written <I>three</B></I> books about this series, only to find he had never heard of it either. This copy has two front-cover stamps, one reading "Indexed in publication files" and another that appears to say "enclosure," leading us to believe this was the office copy of some organization. As for the book itself, it's a very solid copy from the highly collectible series featuring the Justice Society. The flag cover is by Frank Harry. Overstreet 2007 FN 6.0 value = $483. CGC census 1/08: 1 in 6.0, 9 higher.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Comics - Slabbed (certified) (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
