               RARE GOLDEN AGE COMIC BOOKS

Below is one of The Holy Grails of Golden Age Comic Books from one of the most sought after of original 1950s comics from the provenance of The Davis Crippen Collection. This also went up for auction in 2006 in the Historic Heritage Gallery Auction for the pedigree comics from the collection of the late Davis Crippen.

Also, its the highest grade of the handsigned Jack Davis copies, also that its a "D-Crippen" pedigree and original, its a REAL TREASURE!!!!

This comic book comes from my own personal collection and it is in VERY GOOD CONDITION considering the age of it! What I love so much about this particular piece is the very surreal cover and the overall rarity of it as well.
