All Star Comics #33 in cgc 4.0.  

Solomon Grundy’s third of only four appearances in the Golden Age (and one of two Golden Age cover appearances, the other being his first appearance in All-American #61). A classic cover by Irwin Hasen, and a book-length battle with the JSA, courtesy of Gardner Fox, Joe Kubert, Irwin Hasen, Martin Nodell, Stan Asch and Paul Reinman. 85 Universals on the census. 

No comparable sales in a few years. Most affordable copies I can find on the current market are a cgc 3.5 on eBay at an ask of $3,800 plus shipping and a cgc 2.0 on ComicConnect at $1,200.

Updated to clarify — this would ship via Registered Mail. It’s a little slower and a signature is needed, but it’s hand-handled and locked up at each post office along the way.

Yessir, this and his first appearance in All-American #61. He has 2 other GA appearances, both in Comic Cavalcade, but he's not on the cover in either case. I believe this is his last GA appearance of the four.

Since 1944, he has appeared in only 8 issues until 1973.  He appeared in more issues after 1973.

6 Solomon Grundy covers:

All-American Comics #61 1944
All Star Comics #33 1946
Showcase 55 1965
JLA #46  1966
JLA #92 1971
Wanted #4 1972

Thank you David; I knew the two interior appearances were the Comic Cavalcade issues; not sure why I had the impression that the two cover appearances were the bookends?  Anyway, I will update the post accordingly. Thank you!
