One singular Golden Age gem recently consigned to the Featured Auction is the only known Wonder Woman #1 ashcan, which predated Wonder Woman #1 by many months and features Wonder Woman on its cover. It is in high grade condition and has been certified at CGC 8.5. There will be many key and high grade Golden Age comic books in this auction as well as classic covers and rare issues.
Major Silver Age keys will grace the auction, such as Fantastic Four #1 (first Fantastic Four and origin) CGC 9.0 and CGC 6.5 and an attractive Amazing Fantasy #15 (first Spider-Man and origin) in CGC 7.0 (also a CVA Exceptional). Silver Age DC fans will see an impressive selection of almost two dozen high grade examples from The Flash including #105 (first Mirror Master) CGC 7.5 and #123 (“Flash of Two Worlds”) CGC 9.2, and Wonder Woman #98 (first Silver Age Wonder Woman origin) 7.5.
