Red Raven Comics #1 (Timely, 1940) CGC VF/NM 9.0 Off-white pages
Red Raven Comics #1 (Timely, 1940) CGC VF/NM 9.0 Off-white pages. Chronologically this title was preceded only by Marvel Comics among Timely's Golden Age titles. It predates Captain America Comics, Sub-Mariner Comics, and Human Torch Comics; in fact, the series became the latter title after only one issue as Red Raven. Perhaps more importantly, this issue featured Jack Kirby's first signed work: the daring, innovative cover. Grossly undervalued when compared to the other Timely premiere issues of the day, the book is also rated "scarce" by Gerber's The Photo-Journal Guide to Comic Books. Need more? How about the highest-graded unrestored copy yet certified by CGC, far ahead of the second place contestant which could garner only FN+ 6.5 credentials. This is one of the most compelling comic book offerings of our sale. Overstreet 2003 VF/NM 9.0 value = $11,250; NM 9.4 value = $15,000. 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. 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.
