Double-Cover copy of Green Lantern #1 Hits the Auction Block!
Golden Age Key Presents a Triple Rarity

DALLAS, TEXAS: Created by writer Bill Finger and artist Martin Nodell in the pages of All-American Comics #16, Green Lantern was a modern-day version of Aladdin, with a magic ring instead of a genii. An instant hit upon his introduction, it wasn’t long before the Green Gladiator was awarded his own book.

“As any comic aficionado knows, Green Lantern #1, with its unforgettable Howard Purcell cover, is one of the key books of the Golden Age,” said Ed Jaster, Vice-President for Dallas-based Heritage Auction Galleries. “This was the beginning of a spectacular run for one of the greatest comic characters ever created, a run that has continued unbroken, except for a few years in the 1950s, until the present day.”

“The exquisite copy of Green Lantern #1 that we’re offering in our upcoming Signature Auction is significant for several reasons,” Jaster continued. “First, of course, is its iconic status as the first issue of a long-running and popular title. Second is the fact that, of 36 unrestored copies certified by CGC, there is not a higher graded example in existence. Finally, as if those two points weren’t enough, there’s the fact that this copy – and only this copy, to the very best of our knowledge – bears an extremely rare double cover. This is a very uncommon binding error in which two covers are accidentally stapled to the book.  Double covers even on nondescript issues are considered very rare and collectible. To find one on a book of this magnitude is absolutely unheard of.”

“This book will no doubt be one of the stars of our upcoming auction,” said Jaster, “ as it presents the opportunity for the advanced Golden Age collector to add a truly unique and one-of-a-kind item to his or her collection. The bragging rights that attach to this book are absolutely astronomical.”

Mile High Copy of Daredevil Comics #1 to be Offered at Auction!
Finest-Known Copy of Important Golden Age Book Up for Bids

DALLAS, TEXAS: Before blind attorney Matthew Murdock developed super-senses and donned the blood-red garb of The Man Without Fear, another crusader for justice bore the name “Daredevil.” Bart Hill, uncannily proficient with the deadly boomerang, clad himself in a split blue-and-red costume, with a distinctive spiked belt, and fought such arch-villains as the Claw and Adolf Hitler during the dark days of the Second World War.   Introduced in the pages of Silver Streak Comics #6, cover dated September 1940 and issued by Lev Gleason Publications, in a story by Jack Binder, Daredevil originally wore a yellow-and-blue costume, and, like his 1960s namesake, was a hero with a disability: he was mute, due to the traumatic shock he suffered in the event that made him an orphan and left a boomerang-shaped scar on his chest. Vowing to fight crime, Bart Hill studied the art of boomerang throwing, and set out on his vigilante career.   With the next issue, however, Jack Cole, the creator of Plastic Man, changed everything. No longer unable to speak, it would soon be revealed that Bart Hill was now raised by Australian aborigines, who taught him how to use a boomerang, and also gave him his distinctive red-and-blue costume. Also in this issue, Daredevil battled the Claw for the first time, the evil, monstrous genius that had been intent on world domination since Silver Streak Comics #1. First a mere back-up feature, Daredevil quickly became the company’s greatest superhero success.   Now the star of Silver Streak Comics, it was only natural that Daredevil would receive his own book, and Gleason pulled out all the stops for his premiere issue. Titled Daredevil Battles Hitler on the cover, this landmark comic saw all the heroes of Silver Streak Comics – including The Silver Streak, Lance Hale, Cloud Curtis, Dickey Dean, The Pirate Prince, and Daredevil himself - team up to oppose history’s most infamous real-world villain – a full five months before the US entered the war in Europe. It was a battle royale the likes of which has rarely been seen, before or since, making this one of the most important and desirable books of the entire Golden Age.   “Aside from the classic cover, and the feature it illustrates,” said Lon Allen, Director of Sales for the Comics Division of Dallas-based Heritage Auction Galleries, “this book also features an ‘Origin of Hitler’ story, and, for good measure, throws in a battle between Daredevil and The Claw, to boot. Imagine, six daring heroes, two vile villains, and enough action to satisfy even the most jaded reader! That’s a lot of content for one thin dime!”   “The copy that we’re offering in our upcoming auction,” said Allen, “hails from the prestigious Edgar Church/Mile High Collection. In stunning condition, with outstanding page quality, this is not only a classic book from a classic pedigree, it’s also the finest-known example of this comic in existence, according to the current CGC Census. Honestly, it looks like it could be fresh off the newsstand, although it’s fully 65 years old!”   “Whatever factors drive your collecting interest, be it condition, pedigree, key issue, artist, historical significance, or what have you,” said Allen, “this impeccable specimen has it all, and I expect it’s going to be one of the stars of our Summer auction.”   Daredevil Comics #1 Mile High pedigree (Lev Gleason, 1941) CGC NM 9.4 White pages: http://www.HeritageAuctions.com/Comics/common/prlink.php?Sale_No=821&Lot ID No=14057& type=prte-pr060106a  Estimate: $60,000 & up     Daredevil Comics #1 Mile High pedigree (Lev Gleason, 1941) CGC NM 9.4 White pages will be offered in Heritage Auction Galleries’ upcoming Comics Signature Auction, to be held August 10 -12, 2006 in Dallas, Texas.
