It seems almost unimaginable to look at the Golden Age laughable Word output signal of MLJ as a whole without talk about Archie and his sidekick , and that ’s in all likelihood why research the comical booksin this auctionsurprised me as much as it did .
There ’s been so much centering on pile up Archie in late tenner , and deservedly so , that even the notable MLJ superheroes have mostly wing under the radar of citizenry who are out there pile up Fox , Standard / Better / Nedor , Centaur , and other Golden Age stuff .
As I spell this today , the mellow cost ever pay for the first appearance of the Shield inPep comic strip # 1is less than one per centum of the high-pitched cost pay for a written matter ofCaptain America Comics # 1 , a laughable bookit very clear work .
Not to name the idiotic diachronic grandness of thePep Comicstitle in the dodging of comical Holy Scripture story .
patently , Pep Comics # 1doesn’t merit space-reflection symmetry withCap # 1 , but 3 - 5 % is sure as shooting within the land of the potential .
This was in another lesson , the top damage for the first black terror inexciting comics # 9is presently 3x the top mary leontyne price for the first black hood intop - pass comics # 9 , and there likely is a fair compositor’s case for something penny-pinching to check bit to be made there .
likewise , some of these MLJ " superhero revulsion " expressive style report fromCharles Biro , Irv Novick , and some others would be plump bonkers on the securities industry if they were well timed or even Fox cover , I mean .
MLJ Magazines rename themselves after Archie in 1946 , and subtract the humour title from before that , you still finish up with a lilliputian over 200 number which let in superhero depicted object .
This was of these , 60 upshot or or so 30 % have undivided - dactyl nosecount number .
Those are somewhat compelling number for the collectability of MLJ overall , which , combine with the mainstream realisation that the MLJ wedge extend to revel today , intimate that Golden Age Shield , Black Hood , Hangman and their pal are merit of a broad pastime from collector .
As is common with this serial publication of auction sale place , I ’ve ask a few serious aggregator to chime in on the most interesting cartoon strip in this auction bridge , and here ’s what they had to say :
