<B>Target Comics #1 (Novelty Press, 1940) CGC FN 6.0 Off-white to white pages.</B></I> This is the first comic book published by Novelty Press, and the firm made a great decision right from the start by having the content produced by Funnies Inc., the "shop" of artists that included industry heavyweights like Carl Burgos, Joe Simon, Tarpe Mills, and of course Bill Everett, who signed his middle name Blake on the cover. Among the characters making their first appearances was Burgos' White Streak, the second android superhero in comics (the first one being the Human Torch, also created by Burgos!) Also making their debuts in this issue are the T-Men and Bull's Eye Bill. Overstreet notes that marijuana use is mentioned in one story. Overstreet 2006 FN 6.0 value = $1,509.
