Not the Timely you were expecting, but the one you deserve (to see): lol

 

The hyper rare Captain America Vol 1 #1:

Only somewhat kidding, as this is generally considered to be the reason Cap #1 says vol 2 #1 in the indicia. Popular Digest #2 appears out of the blue just prior to Cap 1.

 

That aside, probably even cooler for the fact that it is indeed Martin Goodman's very first Timely Publication, shows you why Timely is called Timely, and hitting just before Marvel 1:

No comics, still cool though.

 

Mark, this is just awesome.

 

Is something like this particularly tough to find? I've never seen one before.

When I first started looking, I found the #2 instantly and there were a couple other copies of it out there at the time.

 

I had the #1 as an ebay search for 3-4 years before I got one.

 

It's meant to be a Reader's Digest knock off, obviously. You'd presume it didn't work for Goodman, since he didn't run with it.

Sartre, I love your books but you really gotta invest in a better way to scan or photograph them. Your pics just don't do the books justice. It'd be like showing up at car show with your new Bentley after taking it offroading in a mud pit! lol

 

PM me on suggestions

Speaking of offshoot stuff, I picked up this Goodman pulp recently. June 1939, several months before Schomburg did his first Timely comic book cover. The cover is not Schomburg though, it's J.W. Scott, but the interior illustrations are Schomburg:

Very cool! I love me some Red Circle pulps!

 

Oct 30th 1939 Daring Mystery #1 is Mr. Schomburg's first right? 3rd Timely comic book.

I'll get one someday.

correct, DM 1 was Schomburg's first cover for Timely. Marvel Mystery 3 was his next.
