Cancelled Comic Cavalcade #1 and 2 (DC, 1978) C
Cancelled Comic Cavalcade #1 and 2 (DC, 1978) Condition: Average FN. The origins of this rare two-issue set is a curious story. An "Editorial, of sorts" in the first volume tells the tale: "Comics historians will note DC Comics went through a great deal of changes during the month of June, 1978, the immediate result of which was a considerable number of cancelled titles. We had a whole mess of material ready to go to the engravers.... it was felt it would be a shame if this material would never see print. What you are now holding is the first issue of Cancelled Comics Cavalcade, a two-shot which both preserves the material in question and guarantees DC's copyright to same. We have printed 35 copies, 34 of which will go to the creators and copyright people, set #35 will go to Bob Overstreet to show the world it actually happened." These rank among the rarest books of the Bronze Age. Xeroxed pages on one side only with blank blue covers, the books each measure 8.5" x 11". The contents of volume #1 are Black Lightning #12, cover to #13, Claw #13 & #14, The Deserter #1, Doorway to Nightmare #6, Firestorm #6, The Green Team #2 and #3.

Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
