<B>Pep Comics #1 (MLJ, 1940) CGC Apparent NM 9.4 Slight (P) Cream to off-white pages.</B></I> This is surely the nicest-<I>looking</B></I> copy of this comic anywhere! The highest-graded unrestored copy of the issue to date is a 9.0, and the professional restoration here is limited to a mere tear seal. The book features the first appearance of the Shield (who pre-dated even Captain America!). Jack Cole's Comet also makes his first appearance here. Irv Novick drew the robot cover as well as the Shield story. This first issue is of course also notable because it started a series that became one of few to survive the post-Golden Age era, running for over 40 years as an Archie vehicle. CGC notes, "Restoration includes: tear seal to cover."
