Pricing & History
New York World's Fair Comics 1939 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1939) CGC FN- 5.5 White pages. One of Overstreet's Top 100 Golden Age books despite not having a NM- value listed in the Guide. This early DC, is the first full-color, non-reprint superhero annual. Superman is shown with blonde hair (he had been appearing in comics for less than a year at the time), and this comic, cover-dated 4/39, pre-dates Detective Comics #27, which explains why Batman doesn't appear here! Also, this issue has the first published appearance of the Sandman (compare with the first Sandman story in Adventure #40, offered in this same section). Despite all of this, and as collectible as the issue is now, the comic was not a strong seller when it was released owing to the unheard-of 25¢ cover price. Vin Sullivan and Fred Guardineer are the cover artists. Overstreet 2011 FN 6.0 value = $5,100. CGC census 1/12: 3 in 5.5, 6 higher. Grade: 55, Service: CGC, Service No.: 1381386
