Speed Comics #1 (Harvey, 1939) CGC Apparent FN
Shock Gibson, "the Human Dynamo," made his first appearance in this issue. The book, a Gerber "7," has art by Bob Powell, as well as what Overstreet speculates might be the first full-page panel in comics. A word on the publisher: various histories of comics disagree on whether Brookwood was another name for Harvey, connected to Harvey, or whether rights to this series were simply bought by Harvey at a later time. What's certain is that the series was published under the Harvey name starting with issue #14, and Shock Gibson was the first significant Harvey superhero, making this issue a must-buy for any collector of that long-running publisher. CGC notes, "Restoration includes: color touch, pieces added, tear seals, cover cleaned, reinforced." Overstreet 2006 GD 2.0 value = $332; VG 4.0 value = $664; FN 6.0 value = $996. <BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Slabbed Comic (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
