Jumbo Comics #10 – 5.0 restored (slight) – ow/w pages – $1,200

One of Lou Fine’s greatest covers from Oct/Nov 1939. Overstreet designates this book as a "classic", which says a lot given that no other books in the Jumbo run received a "classic" designation. It's also a Gerber "7" = scarce (21-50 copies in existence), and GPA bears this out, with only 21 copies total on the census. This book just never comes up for sale. Well, almost never. The few recent copies have been snapped up at premium prices.

This copy has tear seals, actually 12-13 small pieces of tape, on the inside front cover, so this bit of resto might be correctible. At the time of purchase I was told there was some color touch on the cover, which is difficult to detect, but might be some black touch-ups inside the black horizontal strip (where it reads "64 pages in full color") and near the left staple. If there is color touch, it was expertly done.

This copy holds together well, with supple pages, GREAT colors, and is a fantastic read, with the origin of Sheena and her new costume, plus all the other stars of 1939 on interiors: Eisner, Fine, Powell, Briefer.
