    no idea as I don't keep up with Luther. I was just comparing Action 23 and Bat 1 release dates for the OP.

    time would vary region to region in 1940 but it would be a Feb 1940 release. I suspect NYC newsstands would get the new comics faster than the west coast Harold . I have seen Bat 1s with arrival dates as late as May 16, 1940.

    sure thing

    And remember that the cover month/date of a comic means that the book was on the stands in real time anywhere from 1-3 months prior to the cover mo/date. Typlically for golden age it's 1-2 months. So, as Wayne-Tec posted, Action 23 would have been on the stands in Feb 22, 1940 and Bat 1 would have been late April 25, 1940. http://www.mikesamazingworld.com/mikes/features/comic.php?comicid=595 http://www.mikesamazingworld.com/mikes/features/comic.php?comicid=3524

    Great year for comics. Tec 31 and Marvel Comics 1 are my favorite from '39.

    a book can never be graded unless it's in hand. We can only estimate by pics. I have been grading for 35 years and my grading tends to be tighter than CGC. Your book may very well be VG or better. Have fun!

    I will take a lower grade, better eye appeal/PQ over a higher grade. As a collector with gold (or silver), having a nice presenting low grade copy with nice colors and paper trumps a structurally nicer copy that may have inferior eye appeal/PQ. Then again, with the rarer gold, I have made some exceptions the past few years as getting "a" copy is just as satisfying.
