Shadow Comics #1 (Street & Smith, 1940)
<B>Shadow Comics #1 (Street & Smith, 1940) Condition: GD.</B></I> The first comic book published by Street and Smith is also the first comic appearance of the firm's two biggest stars, the Shadow and Doc Savage. The publisher didn't stop there, adding Bill Barnes (America's Air Ace) and even 19th-century creation Nick Carter! The painted cover was an unusual sight on comic racks of 1940. This copy has appealing white pages. It comes from the same collection as the <B>Batman</B></I> #1 offered in this auction, and the name of the original owner, Bill MacNeil, is written in neat script at the top of the first page. Two sets of Siamese pages near the rear of the book have been separated, causing three-inch tears to two pages. Overstreet 2007 GD 2.0 value = $459.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Comics - Unslabbed (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
