Sardo Numspar Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Master Comics #5 from 1940, published by Fawcett. It features many characters, in full adventure stories, and it ends with a huge pin-up of Captain Marvel. (Actually it's a full page ad, filling the whole inside of the back cover, promoting the upcoming SPECIAL EDITION COMICS, and they have a depiction of their top hero, Capt. Marvel from Whiz Comics, filling the promo.) The original owner picked this up when it was new in the summer of 1940, and after passing away in 1991, the person I purchased it from was the one who the heirs called to dispense with the Peoria, Arizona, golden-age collection. This is the only issue of the whole series to rank an 8 on the Gerber Scarcity Index . It measures 14.1" tall and 10.25" wide. Love it. Reminds me of the early Jumbos. Thanks, I agree. Trying to put together runs of the oversized in both titles. Here are some of the others I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sardo Numspar Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Yep, those New Funs are especially difficult - and the #6 would be the grail Treasury book for all three titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RareHighGrade Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Yep, those New Funs are especially difficult - and the #6 would be the grail Treasury book for all three titles. Good luck. New Funs have covers as thin as tissue paper, so if you find one, it's invariably in worn out condition. They are all rare, but for some reason, the #6 seems to be tougher to find than the others.

Earthshaker01 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Yes I ended up getting a total of 12 Southern States esoteric # 1's in a trade for basically a Peanuts #1 CGC 6.5 and a Strange Tales #110 CGC 6.0. They gave me 4800.00 in trade for those two books so it all worked out in a great deal for both of us. Here is another from that collection. Highest graded.
