More Fun Comics #36 (DC, 1938) CGC 6.5 Off-White pages

Shades of the Little Rascals! That young man at the microphone looks a lot like "Alfalfa" on this great Creig Flessel cover! Inside, DC Hall of Fame artists Bob Kane, Joe Shuster, and Bernard Baily contributed story art.

Only two copies have been certified higher at 9.2 and 9.6 (not surprisingly the Church copy). Heritage has only offered five unrestored copies in 18 years, and sold only one copy in the last nine years.

From the Northern Lights Collection.

$975.00

More Fun Comics #38 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1938) CGC 4.0 Off-white to white pages. 

This is one of only five certified copies, and there are only two graded higher (in fact, much higher! The Billy Wright copy at CGC 9.0 and the Church copy at CGC 9.4)! Heritage has only sold three unrestored copies (the two pedigrees) and one raw Fair copy! None since 2014.

This obviously shows how incredibly tough these issues are to find, and this one's 12/38 cover date puts it earlier than Detective #27 and before many Golden Age publishers had even begun publishing. So good luck finding a copy!

Any Creig Flessel cover is a cherished find. One of the best GA artists hands down!

A CGC 4.5 copy sold for $550 in 2017.

More Fun Comics #45 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1939) CGC FN+ 6.5 Off-white to white pages.

One of just four copies that CGC has certified. Two grade higher. Great adventure cover!!!!

Another amazing Creig Flessel cover. Bernard Baily, story and art. Jerry Siegel story. Joe Shuster art.

The issues in the 40s are virtually impossible to find, and this was one of the last books I purchased when I was chasing the title. There are only four unrestored copies on the CGC census.

Heritage has sold only four unrestored copies. The last one in 2016 was a raw VG+ and sold for over 2x Guide.

More Fun Comics #75 (DC, 1942) CGC 7.0 Cream to Off-White pages

A really sweet copy of this German War/Hitler cover issue. In the book, a new origin of the Spectre is presented, there's a Dr. Fate appearance, and obviously there are early appearances by Aquaman and Green Arrow (having just appeared for the first time two issues earlier). Howard Sherman cover and art. Bernard Baily, Jerry Robinson, George Papp, and Mort Meskin art.

Heritage has very few examples of this book being offered over the last 18 years. A CGC 7.5 (same PQ) copy sold just last week for $1,860.00.

More Fun Comics #79 (DC, 1942) Condition: CGC 7.5 Off-White Pages

Green Arrow and Speedy cover. Heritage has auctioned only six copies.

Three copies grade higher (two are pedigrees, Rockford 9.4 and Church 9.6) but this issue is simply not available. The last Heritage copy sold was a raw VG/FN in 2015, and none before that since 2005! A CGC 4.0 copy sold in June 2019 for over 2x Guide!

So, as with many issues in this series, good luck finding it! And if you don't want to spend $6,000 - $9,000 for those two pedigree copies, this copy is the one for you!

More Fun Comics #85 (DC, 1942) CGC VF 8.0 Off-white to white pages.

Normally, plummeting to the ground with your hands and feet tied up would be cause for alarm. But if you're pals with Green Arrow, it's no biggie -- see this issue's George Papp cover for evidence. More Fun had quite an impressive roster of characters in those days; features include Doctor Fate, Aquaman, Johnny Quick (with Mort Meskin art), and the Spectre.

Two copies grade higher. The last recorded CGC copy that sold in 2016, which was a CGC 8.0, went for over Guide at $836.00. My price is barely higher.

From the Northern Lights Collection.

$900.00

More Fun Comics #87 (DC, 1943) CGC 7.5 Off-White Pages

Superhero Johnny Quick gets one of his rare spotlights on this cover by Mort Meskin, who also contributed interior art. This issue had the last Radio Squad and featured a interior cover ad for Boy Commandos #1.

Although there are five copies graded higher than this one (including one at CGC 9.8  ), there have only been five certified copies offered by Heritage in nearly twenty years!

I agree. Happy that your reinvesting in other fun things,  but this must have taken so much work.  It's such a cool and unique piece of comic book history.

Great collection and thank you for making them available here.

Amazing books, so much history in those covers! Agree, amazing amount of work by you to put this collection together. Good luck!
