Description
Face front, True Believers! This is not an auction to overlook: it includes both Fantastic Four #1 (the birth of Marvel Comics as we know it) and The Avengers #1 (the first assembling of Earth's Mightiest Heroes)! Those alone make this one not to be missed.
But they are just two out of over 400 lots of Golden and Silver Age comics goodness, with some Bronze and Copper keys thrown in to keep it interesting. Highlights include 1940s issues of Whiz Comics (starring Shazam), Action Comics (starring Superman), and Sensation Comics (starring Wonder Woman), plus Pre-Code horror comics, Atlas era Marvel titles, Silver Surfer #1 (1968), Superboy #2 (1949), Buck Rogers #2 (1941), Batman #181 (1st Poison Ivy), Marvel Premiere #15 (1st Iron Fist), and many more!
