I generally prefer to stay in the vg-vf range of comics, But this one particularly is impossible to find ....where are all the copies of 36?

There is at least 1 copy of Adventure #36 in Canada. Has sweet b/w interior art plus a Siegel/Shuster color story:

Thanks to one of my favorite Boardies, I was finally able to get a book I've coveted for a long time.  I love this cover!

Nice! :golfclap:

Would you believe that I used to own that book along with the Larson, and now I have the Nova Scotia. :insane:

Art from whom I think are DC Comics' earliest female artists:

Connie Naar (aka Constance Naar) - Petey the Pup from New Comics #1 (December, 1935) -

Emma McKean (aka Ema Keen) - Sister and Brother from New Comics #1 (December, 1935) -

Serene Summerfield - Stratosphere Special, 2036 A.D. from New Comics #4 (March, 1936) -

Especially considering that books from this early part of 1936 is virtually impossible to find in any kind of condition, let alone a copy in as stunning condition as your copy here.  :takeit:

Your Board moniker is definitely appropriate when it comes to this book here as it is dfinitely super RareHighGrade.  (thumbsu

Just took a quick look at the CGC census and there's only 3 graded copies of this particular book here.  One in CGC 9.2 NM- with the other 2 copies substantailly lower at CGC 5.5 and CGC 2.5 grades.  Would this happen to be the CGC 9.2 graded copy that has now been freed from its imprisoned slab for your reading pleasure or is it still a raw ungraded copy that has yet to cross a grading table?  ???

It's an 8.0 with a tear seal.

Forgot to take a look at the Restored part of the census. doh!   Of course, a tear seal is very easy to shall we say, have it unrestored.  :wink:

From a strict front cover visual appearance without having the actual book in hand, it certainly seems to present much nicer than a VF 8.0 grade.  (shrug)

BTW:  That pencilled in "S" mark seems very familiar and I believe this book might have come from a collection in the late 80's with a HG run of these very early pre-hero DC New Comics.  hm

The penciled "S" books include many of the nicest copies of the New/New Adventure/Adventure pre-hero books.

The CGC 5.5 copy of New Comics 4 is the Lost Valley copy, but the book should no longer be on the Census as it was damaged when loaned out to DC to photograph.

RHG’s copy is an exceptional beauty...:cloud9:

I would certainly have second thoughts about loaning out a super rare book like New Comics 4.  hm

Especially to a large comic book comglomerate like DC who probably doesn't have the same appreciation for it as a true comic book collector.  :mad:  :censored:

I would certainly hope that DC made some financial compensation to the collector for the damage incurred to the book.  :wishluck:

Definitely cannot argue with you about the sheer beauty of RHG's copy here.  (thumbsu

Any reason why you did not bothered to pick up the New Comics 2 since it is supposedly the rarest out of this run of rare books or did you already have a copy?  ???

Especially if it's in grade as the CGC census indicates only 5 Universal copies, with all 5 in CGC 2.0 or lower.  hm

I never had the opportunity to buy the "S" copy or any other copy of New Comics #2 that was above 2.0.  The nicer looking copies are all restored (not that there's anything wrong with that).

New Comics 3 is a rare book too - this particular copy (unrestored) came out of Alaska and has never been CGC’d. Not high grade, but I am thrilled to own it.
