Blue Bolt #1-12 Funnies Inc. Bound Volume
<B>Blue Bolt #1-12 Funnies Inc. File Copies Bound Volume (Novelty Press, 1940-41) .</B></I> The very first collaboration between Joe Simon and Jack Kirby was in <B>Blue Bolt</B></I> #2, and that's just one highlight of this amazing bound volume! To give you an idea of how tough-to-find these issues are: we had only ever seen one copy each of #3 and #7 and we still haven't seen a "loose" copy of #9 to this day, yet all of those issues are included here. This volume originated from Funnies Inc., the "shop" of artists who packaged the content of this series for publisher Novelty Press. We think most any collector will be pleased with the condition: the pages are tan at the edges and only in a few small areas have the edges become brittle. All of the covers are smooth, fresh, and attractive, and each has an "office copy" stamp. Unusually enough, the comics have not been trimmed prior to binding. The hinges of the hardcover volume are loose in spots, but this could be fixed inexpensively. We don't have enough room here to go into all of the interior art (almost none of which has ever been reprinted) by the likes of Bill Everett, Basil Wolverton, and more... all we can say to those who would pass this up is that we doubt another such volume exists. Overstreet 2007 VG 4.0 value for group = $3,544.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Books & Catalogs (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
