Heroic Comics #1 ( 1940) CGC FN- 5.5
<B>Heroic Comics #1 (Eastern Color, 1940) CGC FN- 5.5 Cream to off-white pages.</B></I> We hadn't seen this first issue in years, and we'll wager that some collectors didn't know this was a superhero title in its early run before it went to a "real-life heroes" format. Eastern Color, who started the comic book phenomenon with <B>Famous Funnies</B></I>, didn't launch a second regular series until this one, seven years later! Any similarities between Hydroman, who makes his first appearance here, and the Sub-Mariner were <I>not</B></I> coincidental, since they were both created by Bill Everett, who also drew this issue's cover. Overstreet 2007 FN 6.0 value = $567. CGC census 10/07: 1 in 5.5, 6 higher.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Comics - Slabbed (certified) (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
