About the

The Billy Wright CollectionBilly Wright was 11 years old when Action Comics #1 hit thenewsstands to begin the Golden Age o comics. He grew upLynchburg, Virginia, attended The College o William and Maand then had a long career as a chemical engineer for DuPonHe passed away in 1994.

His comics were stored in the basement o his home, stacked

on shelves in a storage closet, and remained there until hiswie’s recent passing.

The collection has been recognized as a pedigree collection CGC. Paul Litch, Vice-President of CGC, remarked at the tim“They have a nice eel to them, nice over-all page quality anddistinctive scent. The Billy Wright books are an exciting fnd absolutely worthy o being recognized as a pedigree by CGC

A remarkable aspect o the collection is the high percentage o key issues and the almostcomplete absence o less collectible titles. In addition to having many o Overstreet’s Top 100

Golden Age books (see chart on the ollowing page), the collection has sixty-seven #1 issues athirty-three #2 issues.

In all, the Billy Wright collection consists o approximately 340 comics, almost all rom 1936-1941, with just a handul o later 1940s issues. The earliest comic in the collection is New Com#2, cover-dated January 1936.

While a couple o comics have Mr. Wright’s name on the cover, the vast majority aredistinguished by having no cover markings o any kind, a act that is sure to be welcomed bycollectors.

Please note that additional comics from the Billy Wright Collection will be offered in the SundInternet Comics Auction at HA.com, ending February 26th.

91001  Action Comics #1 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1938) CGC GD/VG 3.0 O-white to

white pages. “The most important comic book ever published” was Overstreet’s note about this

issue some years ago, and we’ve never heard anyone nominate any other comic! Now that the

best copies o this book are considered seven-gure items, many are looking or a solid (yet unre-

stored) lower-grade copy. Not only does this ll that bill, we hasten to add that it’s being oered

without a reserve.

 This is the rst appearance o Superman, and it’s the comic that started the Golden Age. I you

browse the rest o the Billy Wright collection in this catalog you’ll see the dierence between

the 1936-37 comics oered and the comics that came later. Superman spawned many imitators

(again many o which can be seen on these pages), and the character’s runaway success estab-

lished DC as one o the top publishers, a status it has never lost. This rst Superman story, written

by Jerry Siegel and drawn by Joe Shuster, also briey tells the origin o the character.

Given the price o an Action #1, the key actor is how well the comic presents in the holder. Some

o the copies In this grade range that have come on the market have had a deect such as being

hole-punched, having a large missing chunk, or being water-stained. No such glaring deect ham-

pers this solid copy. The spine o the book will no doubt be the topic o some discussion, so we’ll

note that this copy has a 1” spine split at the top and a 3.75” spine split at the bottom. While the

latter extends past the bottom staple, note that the back cover is attached to that bottom staple.

 That aside, we think you’ll agree the copy has more than enough “pluses” to bestow serious brag-

ging rights upon the winning bidder.

Overstreet 2011 GD 2.0 value = $90,000; VG 4.0 value = $180,000. CGC census 1/12: 4 in 3.0, 21

higher.

91002  Action Comics #2 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1938) CGC VG/FN 5.0 White pages. The second appearance o Superman, this is oneo the 15 most valuable comics in the hobby in its own right. Unrestoredcopies seldom turn up, and when they do they tend to have signicantstaining or oxing. This copy has only the general wear commensuratewith the grade, and the page quality is a major plus. We’ve only seen hal as many o these as we have Action #1s, making this an attractive buy ata tenth o the price (or less) the #1 is likely to sell or. Obviously Supermandidn’t make the issue’s cover, but this was beore DC had caught on tothe act that the Man o Tomorrow was the breakout character. Still, we’veseen this elegant illustration by Leo O’Mealia show up on collectors’ “all-time avorite covers” lists. Overstreet 2011 VG 4.0 value = $11,176; FN 6.0value = $16,764.

It’s been six years sinwe’ve oered a copy in any condition! Overstreet’s “scarce” rating anGerber’s 8 (“rare”) rating certainly jibe with our experience here.

 The third appearance o Superman, this is currently #31 on Overstreelist o the top Golden Age books. The cover art is by Leo O’Mealia. CGnotes, “2 pieces o tape on interior cover.” Overstreet 2011 VG 4.0 value$7,058. CGC census 1/12: 3 in 4.5, 2 higher.

Superman didn’t make tcover o his th appearance. While this book is airly low-grade owing spine and back-cover issues, the ront cover presents very well, and as tcensus ino below indicates, there are not many better ones known to thobby.

We’re talking about one o Overstreet’s top 50 Golden Age comics. This very early Superman adventure (the o Tomorrow’s sixth appearance) also has the debut o an unnamed “ofce boy,” who according to Overstreet as well as DC’s own Who’s Who is other than Jimmy Olsen. That’s a pretty important debut in its own right, considering that Superman’s Pal later starred in his own comic that ratwenty years! We’d be remiss i we didn’t note that this may be DC’s rst-ever gorilla cover — a theme the publisher would return to over and over in decades, to the delight o many ans including us.

Not only is this one o the toughest keys to nd in high grade, it’s one o the toughest, period (compare the 14 unrestored copies that have been certieto the 32 Action #1s). It’s also notable that this book is missing rom most o the big-name pedigree collections — to the best o our knowledge the onother pedigree copy that has been certied is the Mile High copy, which unortunately is a restored book.

 The debut o the Sandman in Adventure, this is the rst superhero issue o one o DC’s earliest and longest-running books. Creig Flessel’s amous covart only adds to the appeal.

 This is certainly the rst copy we’ve oered to be certied “white pages.” We think this copy’s grade will stand up to scrutiny, and as with other books rothis collection, the absence o any cover marking is a major plus. Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $47,000. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 8.0, none higher.

91036  All-American Comics #16 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1940) CGC VF 8.0 O-white to

white pages. The rst appearance o Green Lantern is one o the top ve comic issues in the

hobby! This is a book that’s hard to come by in unrestored condition in any grade, and this is one

o just two copies that have earned a grade higher than FN 6.0.

In act, inspect this copy closely and you might like it even more than the 8.0 grade would indi-

cate. Foxing in some areas is the only noteworthy deect we can even see — the book is attached

rmly onto the staples and there is no spine split. Nor is there any rust on the staples.

“The” Green Lantern (as he was originally known) became a breakout character. Overstreet noted,

“The ancient able o the magic lamp was transormed into a modern and more accessible, moremysterious orm. The Green Lantern’s chant became a staple o school boy mythology.” Jim

Steranko gave some credit or the strip’s popularity to the lantern chant as well: “The ceremony o 

the ring charging its power by the god-like glow o the lantern was almost religious in content.”

 The character was created by Martin Nodell, and the cover art or the rst issue was by Sheldon

Moldo.

Is this the most desirable book in the auction? We leave that decision to the bidders, but while

Action #1 and Detective #27 have seen high-prole copies come to auction in recent years, we

can’t remember the last time a signicant copy o this sought-ater issue was sold publicly.

It’s the rst appearance o the original Atom and alsoone o the earliest Green Lantern appearances.

91043  All Star Comics #3 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1940) CGC VF+ 8.5 O-white to white pages. An unrestored high-grade copy o All Star #3very seldom oered or sale. A key comic in anyone’s book, this ranks #16 on Overstreet’s top Golden Age list. In some quarters this issue is held in ev

higher esteem, as the Justice Society o America, which made its rst appearance here, enjoyed a anatical ollowing in its heyday and thereater.

 This isn’t just the rst appearance o this superhero group, it’s the rst appearance o any superhero group! “A breakthrough concept, second in impotance only to the creation o the super hero” is how Overstreet once summarized the signicance o this issue. Some have even advanced the theothat the concept was unprecedented in all o ction, as even the Knights o the Round Table didn’t hold meetings beore joining to vanquish a commoopponent!

 The cover image is one o the most amous in the history o comics, and it’s been imitated and paid homage to on many occasions (E. E. Hibbard is genally credited with the cover art). Shown here are the Atom (that character’s rst appearance on any comic cover), the Sandman, the Spectre, the FlaHawkman, Dr. Fate, Green Lantern, and the Hour-Man. Paul Levitz’s recent book noted that some point to the end o the All Star series in 1951 as the eo the Golden Age, a strong testament to the inuence o this title.

Many books could be written about All Star and the Justice Society (in act Roy Thomas alone has written our books on the subject!), so we will get to ttopic on everyone’s mind: what is this comic worth? GPAnalysis notes a 2007 sale o a 7.0 copy (not at Heritage) or $18,500, and o course we auctionthe 9.6 Mile High copy or $126,500 back in 2002, or years beore six-gure prices or major key books became relatively commonplace. That makes tcopy oered here tough to gure, and should make or an interesting ew minutes when this lot is called.

Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $34,000; VF/NM 9.0 value = $62,000. CGC census 1/12: 1 in 8.5, 2 higher.

Batman was nine months away and Superman had been in just threecomics when this issue hit the stands.

91070  Detective Comics #27 Billy Wright pedigree (DC, 1939) CGC FN+ 6.5 O-white to white

pages. The rst appearance o Batman is currently considered the second most-valuable comic in the

hobby. However, it has had the #1 spot beore, and it’s not inconceivable that it could regain it, as Batman

is a collector many preer to Superman. Batman has certainly been more o a pop culture presence than

Superman in recent years.

 To put the 6.5 grade in perspective, no copy has received a grade higher than 8.0 rom CGC to date. The

“o-white to white” page quality is the best page quality certication we’ve seen or this issue (aside rom

copies that owed their white pages to restoration).

As with the majority o comics rom this collection, this copy has no writing or marking rom a newsdealer

or previous owner on the cover. The other thing that struck us as we examined this copy was that Bob

Kane’s signature at the bottom is almost entirely visible -- most copies you’ll nd do not have the “Kane”

visible. When this issue was released with a May 1939 cover date, Superman was the only other superhero

on the stands, save or the now-obscure likes o the Arrow and the Crimson Avenger. So it’s no wonder that

the striking cover by Kane made a strong impact. It has taken its place as one o the most amous covers in

the history o comics. Kane and writer Bill Finger (generally credited these days as a co-creator o the char-

acter) produced a hero to rival Superman without imitating the earlier character. As Jim Steranko noted,

“Superman had given DC its strength, but Batman gave it tone. O course, Superman was more impres-

sive... but Batman was more ascinating.”

“The Bat-Man” appeared in a six-page story that also introduced the character o Commissioner Gordon.

 The second-to-last panel revealed that this mysterious gure was in act Bruce Wayne, introduced earlier

in the story.

It’s a special treat to be able to oer this book as part o a Detective run, allowing the hobbyist to compare

and contrast the subsequent issues with what came beore!

While o course not every existing comic has been CGC-certied, many o the notable Golden Age pedigree

comic collections have lacked this key issue. It was notably absent among the Lamont Larson collection and

the Davis Crippen “D” Copies, two o the ew pedigree collections which began early enough to encompass

this book’s May 1939 cover date.

In these choiceearly issues, the Bat-Man was a diferent character than he became in lateryears. As Rob Hughes noted, Batman “was not interested in taking pris-oners, rehabilitation or giving these law-breakers a second chance.” Likeissue #28, this one has a non-Batman cover, a airly violent scene by FredGuardineer.

The sixth appearance o Batmanunknown in high grade (the two copies above this one on CGC’s cesus are both 7.5). The act that Batman isn’t on the cover tells you it’s early issue. And indeed, the early Golden Age Batman was a bit difererom the later character in some respects — not only does he use a gin #32, he shoots two villains while they’re asleep! Overstreet calls it t“rst time a costumed hero used a gun in comic books.” Cover art by FreGuardineer. Overstreet 2011 FN 6.0 value = $2,757; VF 8.0 value = $6,70CGC census 1/12: 2 in 6.5, 2 higher.

It’s unexpected to see this book in this grade, but scrutinize our scan and we think you’ll agree that thiscopy is the real deal. As with so many o the Wright books, the act thatthis one lacks any sort o cover marking is a major plus. The “large logo”block at the top is simply outstanding!

One o Overstreet’s Top 100 GoAge books, this is a xture on wantlists and sells or a pretty penny ingrade as the Guide values annually scramble to catch up. So why are tso ew copies that are graded higher than this VG? It’s because survcopies are almost invariably in really bad shape or restored (or both)book is in-demand or a number o reasons. The creepy hypodermicdle cover is a avorite (note how long Batman’s ears are!). Then there’act that it’s just the th cover appearance o the character (the prevones being #27, 29, 31, and 33). And many remember the issue’s spanel with an angry Batman holding a smoking gun... yes, we said a It’s been three years since we’ve oered a copy that wasn’t restored“beater,” and plenty o demand has built up in that time. Overstreet 2VG 4.0 value = $5,000. CGC census 1/12: 4 in 4.0, 4 higher.

The act that a 2.0 is the highest-gradedunrestored copy on CGC’s census says a lot aboutthe rarity as well!

New Comics eventually became AdventureComics, and it was just DC’s second series, withNew Fun being the rst. New Comics was justthe second anthology title with original, continu-ing characters — remember that its competitionon the stands was Famous Funnies, whichthough signicant, was an all-reprint aair.Making its rst appearance in this issue was thelong-running Federal Men eature, the work o Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, more than twoyears beore Action Comics introduced theircharacter Superman.

Also, thisissue has the rst published appearance o theSandman (compare with the rst Sandman storyin Adventure #40, oered in this same section).

Despite all o this, and as collectible as the issueis now, the comic was not a strong seller whenit was released owing to the unheard-o 25¢cover price. Vin Sullivan and Fred Guardineer arethe cover artists. Overstreet 2011 FN 6.0 value =$5,100. CGC census 1/12: 3 in 5.5, 6 higher.

Also, while most copies we’seen (pedigree or otherwise) have had some soo writing on the cover, this does not.

 This cover was the rst time Batman, Robin, aSuperman all appeared together, and it’s also trst published comic work by Jack Burnley. W

believe it’s also the rst time any o these chacters were drawn by someone besides thcreators (or the creators’ studios at any rate).

As Simon noted in his autobiography, Cap “was the rst major comic book hero toa political stand... as or capturing the attention o the comic book-reading public, it was natural that the adventures o our new red, white, and blue would have the advantage over the others who were still challenging the mad scientists or the hoodlums robbing the corner candy store.”

91126  Marvel Comics #1 Billy Wright pedigree (Timely, 1939) CGC VF- 7.5 O-

white to white pages. Our rst reaction upon seeing this copy was: what separates it

rom the 8.0, 8.5 and 9.0 copies that are known to exist? The overall impression o the

book in-hand is on a par with all o the above, with perhaps only the amous Pay Copy

a being a clearly superior book. Fortunately since all o the above have been in previ-

ous Heritage auctions, collectors can submit all o these to their own scrutiny using the

archived scans on our website.

 This book does have scufng along the spine, but we can see no other deect o any

note. I you’ve seen multiple copies o this key, you know that it’s oten ound printed

a bit out o register, with the Human Torch’s chin appearing as a double line. There’s no

such problem here, and the “o-white to white” page quality designation matches the

best we’ve seen.

It’s worth noting that some o the copies rom other pedigrees are restored books, or

example the Allentown and Kansas City copies. And some o the other top copies such

as the Pay Copy and the Larson copy do have prominent markings on the cover, while

this has none.

For many years, Marvel Comics #1 was listed as the most valuable comic book by

the Overstreet Guide. In the meantime it is #4 behind Action #1, Detective #27, and

Superman #1, but or the Marvel an there’s no topping this issue here. It’s the rst comic

the company ever published.

Certainly no comic book can claim two rst appearances as signicant as those o the

Human Torch and the Sub-Mariner, who both made their debuts here (the latter had

been used in a promotional comic previously, but hadn’t appeared in a newsstand publi-

cation until this issue). And that made this comic the start o the Marvel Universe, a set o 

characters that let its mark on American popular culture, selling millions o comic books

and starring in TV shows, movies, and more. The publisher that produced the issue used

many dierent company names over the years and is usually reerred to as Timely, but

it’s only tting that when the publisher nally had one ofcial name years later, it took its

name rom this very comic.

Ater #1 the title o the series was changed to Marvel Mystery, and it’s a special thrill

to us to be oering the rst seven issues o the series, and eleven o the rst twelve,

together in one consecutive run.

We haven’t even mentioned the host o other characters making debuts here, the most

notable o which are Ka-Zar and the Angel. The cover, showing the Human Torch, is by

science ction pulp illustrator Frank R. Paul. Overstreet 2011 VF 8.0 value = $135,000. CGC

census 1/12: 1 in 7.5, 4 higher.

91152  Amazing Mystery Funnies V2#5 BillyWright pedigree (Centaur, 1939) CGC VF- 7.5White pages. I this classic cover by Bill Everettdoesn’t look amiliar it’s because this is a very

tough book to nd. Heritage last oered a copynine years ago (and it was a beater at that), andonly the Mile High copy has been graded higher.

  The longer we look at this cover, the moreinclined we are to rank it among the best Everettever did. And i the imagery reminds you o Everett’s Sub-Mariner art, you’re not wrong...except that this issue preceded the entire Timelyline by several months. While coming across thisissue in 7.5 is quite a nd, we actually wonderwhy it didn’t grade out even higher than that,and we encourage you to take a close look at thebook.

Everett’s Skyrocket Steele,the Buck Rogers-like star o the early run o thebook, ended his run here to make room or thenext issue’s Fantom o the Fair. Bidders take note:

 This is the character’s second cover appearanceand the rst to clearly show the Fair setting onthe cover. Paul Gustavson is the cover artist. Thisis the only copy graded above 7.5 by CGC to date,and the black block on the cover looks superb, asdoes the absence o any sort o cover marking.Overstreet 2011 VF/NM 9.0 value = $919; NM- 9.2

We will note that the cover character,called Electro here, became Dynamo startingwith the next issue, perhaps owing to the Electrowho’s in Marvel Mystery #4 (a book included inthis same collection, by the way) which appearedthe same month.

AFTER THAT 30-DAY PERIOD, NO LOTS MAY BERETURNED FOR REASONS OTHER THAN AUTHENTICITY. Lots returned must be housedintact in the original holder. No lots purchased by oor Bidders may be returned (including thoseBidders acting as agents or others). Late remittance or purchases may be considered just causeto revoke all return privileges.

Aer one year has elapsed, Auctioneer’s maximum liability shall be limited to anycommissions and ees Auctioneer earned on that lot.

COMICS & COMIC ART TERM F: All comics are guaranteed genuine, but are not guaranteed as tograde, since grading is a matter o opinion, an art and not a science, and thereore the opinionrendered by the Auctioneer or any third party grading service may not agree with the opinion of others (including trained experts), and the same expert may not grade the same item with the

same grade at two dierent times.

In any such instance, purchaser’s remedy, if any, shall be solely against the serv icecertiying the collectible.

Auctioneer also reserves the right to grade items dierently than the grashown in the prior catalog should such items be reconsigned to any uture auction.

COMICS & COMIC ART TERM I: Although consensus grading is employed by most gradingservices, it should be noted as aforesaid that grading is not an exact science. In fact, it is entirel

possible that if a lot is broken out of a plastic holder and resubmitted to another grading servicor even to the same service, the lot could come back with a dierent grade assigned.

COMICS & COMIC ART TERM J: Certication does not guarantee protection against the normalrisks associated with potentially volatile markets. e degree of liquidity for certied collectiblwill vary according to general market conditions and the particular lot involved. For some lotsthere may be no active market at all at certain points in time.

Dear Fellow Collector,

I’d like to begin by thanking you for your support in 2011. Heritage sold $26 million worth of 

comics and comic art on behalf of our consignors, beating our own previous record!

This is our 45th Signature Auction and we think it might be our biggest and best ever. Mere hy

you say? Well, we’re starting it off with one of the best Golden Age collections we’ve ever seen

(see separate catalog, The Billy Wright Collection), but on top of that we have 1,500 more lots

go, from 195 more consignors. Of course, it’s not about the quantity but the quality – ip throu

this book and I think you’ll be a believer!

If you can make it to New York to participate in person, I encourage you to do so. A couple of 

bonus events on lot viewing day, Tuesday the 21st:

• Frank Miller will be there in person! Come by to meet him and to see the art from his persona

collection that he has consigned to the auction.

• Also, Heritage’s own Steve Borock, former president of CGC, will be there to advise collector

If you’d like to have some of your best books checked for restoration or reviewed for potenti

upgrades, this is a perfect opportunity.

Can’t make it, you say? Well, remember that as always, you can also bid by telephone, fax, prio

Internet bids, live Internet bids at HA.com/live (including from your smartphone) and U.S. mail.

Best wishes

Barry Sandoval 

Director of Operations, Comics

91352  New Fun Comics #1 (DC, 1935)

Condition: Apparent VG-. This is the rstDC comic book, and it’s currently #37 inOverstreet’s ranking o the most valuable com-ics, which is even more impressive consideringthat Overstreet doesn’t list a NM- or even a VF/NM value or the issue (the VG value is higherthan the likes o  Adventure #40). Once you’vedecided you can aord one, you need to ndone — no easy task or a book ranked amongthe 50 rarest Golden Age comics by Comic Book Marketplace.

A very signicant issue in comic book history,this is “the prototype o the modern comic inthat it eatured an anthology ormat o continu-ing characters and original rather than reprintedmaterial,” as Overstreet once put it. The rst-evertabloid-sized comic, it measures 10.5” x 15” (andis too large to be encapsulated by CGC). It starteda series which became More Fun Comics.

  The restoration includes color touch, a tapedspine, and small pieces o tape on a number o interior pages. This copy has some penciled num-bers on the back cover and a horizontal creasethrough the book rom being olded in hal.

Since this issue’s got lots o coupons and a num-ber o cut-out eatures meant or kids to use theirscissors on, there can’t be many other completecopies in existence o this rarity.

Yet in terms o signicance, you could argue that only Action Comics #1 is more importantthe history o the medium. That’s because Superman #1 represents the rst time that a character created or comic books was given his own series, attime when the medium eatured anthology series, strip reprints, etc.

 The cover by Joe Shuster is a amous image, and the back cover pin-up is the rst one in the history o comics! O course, kids couldn’t resist cutting thout to hang it up, that’s why this book, despite a documented print run o one million copies, is so difcult to nd intact.

It’s worth noting that unrestored copies with comparable eye appeal are all but unheard-o: among unrestored copies certied to date, only two mator exceed this numerical grade. This proessionally restored specimen is one to show o not only to other hobbyists, but to everyone who appreciatethe signicance o the character in American popular culture.

DC AshCAn EDitions A Brie History o AshcansBack in the early days of comics publishing, the most common procedure to secure a trademark for a potentially valuable title was to create an ashcaedition of the proposed comic book (not to be confused with the modern-day term which commonly refers to mass-produced promotional bookletsThough the specific origins of the word are unknown, ashcan was a publishing term used to describe a dummy or prototype copy. Over the years somhave confused ashcans with efforts to secure copyright protection rather than trademarks. In simplistic terms, a copyright protects the original expressiof an idea, but not the actual idea, while a trademark addresses a title or logo.

By using ashcans to secure trademarks, the publishers saved money and – more importantly – time. Instead of going through the lengthy task of writinand drawing, as well as the long arduous production process (color separations, engraving and printing), companies would simply create the title’s log

affix it to a piece of existing cover art, and then shoot a Velox of it. (A Velox is a positive photographic print typically used by newspapers as a pre-preproof, which accounts for ashcan covers being black and white rather than color.) After the cover was created, it was trimmed to comic-book size anthen stapled to the interior of a previously published book, or sometimes just some loose story pages. The ashcan was now complete. For all practicpurposes it had the appearance of a legitimate comic book – and since the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) apparently accepted them as authencomic books for trademark registration, no higher authority in the country existed to dispute this claim. Nor, apparently, did anyone ever seek to try.

During 1937 – 1944, especially, some of the most important and famous titles in American comic book history were seemingly registered and protecteusing an ashcan copy (such as Superman Comics, Wonder Woman and Flash Comics). So too were some titles most collectors have never heard of to thday including Mystery Trail , Superman/Superhombre and Red, White & Blue Comics. Since so few were created, we as collectors can only marvel at the feexamples that still exist today (usually only two to six copies were made and one would be provided to the USPTO). These comic book first editions apop culture artifacts of the highest order and the rarest of collectibles.

Questions Regarding Ashcans

But was an ashcan actually a legitimate vehicle for securing trademark protection for a title? All evidence suggests that the publishers of the day thougso. However, until U.S. law was changed in the 1980s (so as to more closely reflect international practice) in order to trademark a title a publisher had

first “use” the title in order to secure his mark. Simple registration would not legally suffice. This meant, as a matter of law, that the sought-after-tithad to actually be placed into market use before submission. (Evidence does exist from the 1950s that DC once mailed an ashcan copy out-of-state anrequested it be returned under the apparent premise that this could arguably constitute the title entering the stream of commerce.) Yet it is clear ththis was never the case for the majority of known ashcans as many of the titles were never placed into use even once, whether before or after the ashcancreation. Instead it appears publishers labored under the mistaken impression that the first to the door of the USPTO was the winner. Had they knowotherwise, comic history today might well be different for some of the hobby’s better known characters!

Many early publishers used ashcans – but not all of them. DC and Fawcett were the largest publishers to use this method of registration and most ashcathat exist today are from these two companies. A very limited number of ashcans from smaller companies have found their way into the hobby but nashcans have ever been identified that were created by such mainstream publishers of the day as T imely, Centaur, Fox, MLJ, Dell, or Fiction House. Wthis appears to be the case remains a complete mystery.

Regrettably, very little historical evidence exists to answer the many questions that surround the creation and use of ashcans. Those who utilized thconcept have generally passed on, and the only publisher to have created ashcans and still be in existence today, DC, has no institutional memory beyonpossessing select copies within their vault. Sadly, apparently the USPTO purged its files and whatever they might have contained, in the late 1970s.

About This Collection

Our consignor Gary Colabuono was first exposed to ashcans in October 1985, when a collector acting as an agent for former DC president Sol Harrisobrought six of them to a Chicago Minicon. Colabuono was intrigued and purchased them on the spot. This “love at first sight” encounter would senColabuono on a 20-year mission to learn all he could about ashcans – and to find more of them.

Most collectors will recall the full-page ads that Colabuono ran in the annual Overstreet Guide for 15 years looking to buy authentic Golden Age ashcan“In all those years I never acquired a single ashcan from any of those ads,” he says. I got many calls from people who had common black-and-white comiand even some rare books that weren’t listed in the Guide, but never a real ashcan. To me it’s proof of their rarity,” he said.

Notes on the Lot Descriptions

The information on which ashcans exist in the DC Vault come from Colabuono’s own research from when he was granted access to the vault by Paul Levof DC. Colabuono was one of the last “civilians” to be allowed such access. Of course, it is fair to assume that items in the DC vault will never be for sale.

Also, all ashcans offered in this section were purchased from former DC president Sol Harrison by Gary Colabuono unless otherwise noted in the text.

dC AshCAns 

91431  Action Funnies Ashcan Edition (DC, 1937/38) Condition:VF+. It’s purported that early DC executive Harry Doneneld had ourashcans created to protect the most important title in comic book his-tory: Action Comics, Action Funnies, Double Action Comics, and TripleAction Comics. No copies o Triple Action have ever suraced but thereare three copies o the Action Comics ashcan known to exist. Variouscopies o Double Action are in collector hands, and three copies o theAction Funnies ashcan are known to exist. According to our consignor,this is the second-nest copy o the three. Comic Book Marketplace named this ashcan the th-rarest Golden Age comic back in 1992.

Unlike some ashcans, the cover art was not taken rom a previously pub-lished comic but is art that was later used as the cover to Action Comics #3. Interior is Detective Comics #10. A tip o the lower let corner o the back cover has broken o, otherwise we would have assigned thisa higher grade! Overstreet does not list a value but notes, “The Mallette/Brown copy in VG+ condition sold or $15,000 in 2005.”

 The signicance o Action #1 is well-documented elsewhere in this cata-log. In view o that, and the prices that book commands, we recommendtaking a strong look at this related — and much scarcer — item.

91432  All-American Men o War Ashcan (DC, 1952) Condition: Here’s one or the “Big Five” DC War collector who thinks he has ething. This is the only copy o this title known to exist, with none iDC vault.

91434  Boy Commandos Comics #1 Ashcan Edition (DC, 1942)Condition: FN-. There are two versions o the Boy Commandos Comics ashcan: one with no number listed on the cover, o which ve copies areknown to exist, and the numbered version (#1) oered here, which is aunique copy! The cover art here is the splash page o  Detective Comics #68, the kid group’s th issue o that series. Unusually or an ashcan, theinterior here is actually appropriate to the title: it’s the Boy Commandosyarn “Escape to Disaster” rom Detective Comics #67. The group’s series(with the word “Comics” being dropped rom the nal title) debutedWinter 1942. No prior sales.

91435  Commandos Ashcan Edition (DC, 1942) Condition: VF.  Apparently DC didn’t want any conusion in the marketplace when theydecided to give the Boy Commandos their own title, so they created thisashcan to help protect their interests. 1940s Supergirl and Superwoman ashcans are known to exist as well, created or the same reason! The strat-egy obviously had its desired eect, as the “Commandos” name wasn’tseen in a comic title until the Atlas/Marvel era.

 The cover art is rom the newsstand edition o  Boy Commandos #1, datedWinter 1942/43 and thus on sale at the time this ashcan was created. Theinterior is actually a Boy Commandos tale rom Detective Comics #70.

 Two copies are known to exist, both owned by the consignor. No priorsales.

91436  Girls’ Love Stories Ashcan Edition (DC, 1949) Condition: FVF. DC’s rst oray into the romance genre was protected by this ashca

perhaps the most urgently needed o the bunch: Michelle Nolan hnoted that the our romance books published at the end o 1948 becam125 at the end o 1949! And thus nearly every conceivable variation oromance or love had been used within months. This is the only known Dromance ashcan, and the present copy is the only copy known to exiwith none in the DC vault. Cover: Buzzy #25. Interior: A Date with Ju#10. No prior sales. No Overstreet value listed.

91437  Headline Comics Ashcan Edition (DC, 1942) Condition: FYou’ll recognize the cover art rom the key More Fun Comics #73, whiintroduced Green Arrow and Aquaman to the world! Two copies o thoutstanding ashcan exist, this copy and one in the DC vault. The interiorrom Star Spangled Comics #2. No prior sales. A two-inch tear in the rocover is the one deect that prevented this attractive copy rom gradihigher.

O course, DC never used the title Headline, though another rm dabout a year later. So what was DC’s intention when they produced thWe speculate that it was either a working title or Sensation Comor Leading Comics, both o which debuted around that same timLeading Comics might be slightly more likely given that it eatured tStar-Spangled Kid and Green Arrow.

About the CurAtor pedigree ComiCs

The Curator comics are considered to be among the most desirable Silver Age pedigree books.

The Curator collection originated with a boy in Minnesota whose ather worked at a grocery store. The boy

purchased two copies o every comic that interested him, and to preserve one copy o each or long-term

storage, he would wrap it in material readily available to him, namely butcher paper. In the early 1980s the

collection was sold to a local dealer. Our consignor got a look at the books in 1983. The price stickers were very

aggressive prices or the time, but given the incredible quality o the books our consignor quickly struck a deal

to purchase as many Fantastic Fours as he could aford and has kept them in storage ever since.

Heritage is delighted to ofer a collection o Curator copies highlighted by the amazing run o Fantastic Four!

The rst couple o issues looked more like a monster mag than a superhero book — intentionally so, as Marvel hadn’t published any costuadventurers in a while. But here, not only did the FF don their signature costumes, the issue has the rst appearance o the Baxter Building, the FantCar, and the Pogo Plane. Jack Kirby drew the glorious cover.

92101  Dave Gibbons Watchmen #4 “Watchmaker” Doctor Manhattan Raises His City on Mars Pages 26 and 27 Original Art (DC, 1986). Whmore can be written about the Watchmen that hasn’t already been duly noted in the past 26 years? For many, the Watchmen mini-series representedtranscendent work o genius that showed how a comic book narrative could be constructed, as well as a revolutionary take on a post Cold War world thno longer worships superheroes. Watchmen was a turning point in comics history, one o only a handul o stories that shattered the limits o what thmedium could achieve. Visionary co-creator Alan Moore used the series to deconstruct the traditional superhero mythos in a nihilistic way, never sebeore, in a way that made the lm Apocalypse Now look like a picnic.

 This awesome double page-spread eatures the watershed moment when the blue, god-like Doctor Manhattan designs and raises a magnicent jeeled city on Mars, crated with an interlocking Swiss watch-like perection. It’s an ordered, rational world so airless, so cold — there’s little room let the uncertainty and chaos o either human emotion or biological lie. Both beautiul and terriying, it sublimely symbolizes the extreme alienation o thormer scientist, Dr. Jonathan Osterman, now that he has become the ultimately evolved rational being, born o scientic method — beyond good, evand morality — Doctor Manhattan.

Quality character pages rom Watchmen are scarcely oered in the marketplace and anyone who has seen the cult movie will treasure these scenwhich were so impressive on the silver screen. Such an iconic sequence, containing poetic scenes with many subtexts, is a major grail or anyone lookior the perect Watchmen example.

 These pages have a combined image area o 21” x 16”. Panel one o page 26 is a photostat; otherwise, they are in Excellent condition. Each museumquality page has been signed by artist Dave Gibbons and writer Alan Moore in their lower margins.

This gsel-contained and symmetrically designed (not to mention hair-raising) page by writer Alan Moore and ace artist Dave Gibbons eatures the ultimvigilante suiting up or battle.

Inspired by Steve Ditko’s philosophical heroes The Question and Mr. A, Alan Moore took Ditko’s concepts to their mind-bending end point. As Mrelated, “Steve Ditko’s Question/Mr. A, Rorschach is a kind o logical extension o that character but I’m sure it’s not one that Steve Ditko himsel ever iined, in act I did hear that someone was interviewing Steve Ditko and asked him whether he’d seen Watchmen and this character in it called Rorscand he said ‘Oh yes, I know that, he’s the one who’s like Mr. A, except Rorschach is insane.’”

Insane or not, Rorschach is undoubtedly the most popular character in the renowned miniseries, playing a pivotal role in the story that marked a turpoint in comic book history, and here is one o the nest Rorschach pages yet oered in the marketplace. Watchmen ans, “Sometimes the night is gous...” This masterpiece o mayhem has an image area o approximately 10” x 15.75”, and aside rom a light band o paper aging around the bordersart is in Excellent condition.

As the Rhino was killed o (or the rst time) in Hulk  #104(June 1968) and didn’t appear again until Hulk #124 (February 1970), it seemsvery unlikely that Kirby would have included the Rhino among the characterson this piece ater that time.

“It took me years to defne, in my own mind, Batman as less a creature o 

vengeance than o vigor. This piece is one o my personal avorites. To me,

it sums the man up.” 

 —Frank Miller

92202  Frank Miller Absolute Dark Knight Book Cover Original Art (DC, 2006).

On its publication in 1986, Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns changed the landscape o the graphic

novel irrevocably. With its dark vision o Batman’s uture and its stunning artwork, The Dark Knight

Returns set the world on re. 15 years later, Miller’s sequel, The Dark Knight Strikes Again, urther rede-

ned the boundaries o the superhero genre.

Some pieces o art stand as denitive masterworks by their creators — Joe Simon and Jack Kirby’s Captain

America, Will Eisner’s The Spirit, and Robert E. Howard and Frank Frazetta’s Conan are all examples o time-

less masterworks that have bestowed artistic immortality on the artists who created them. In much the

same way, this bone-jarring cover or The Absolute Dark Knight brings together in one iconic image the

elements that made Frank Miller’s gothic vision o the Batman such a legendary work o industry-chang-

ing artistry. The savage violence, the unparalleled use o strobe-like high-contrast graphics, the relentless

“shock and awe” attack o the Gotham Guardian’s campaign — all o these elements are perectly crys-tallized in one iconic image by the man all have hailed as a master o sequential illustration. Brilliantly

conceived and fawlessly executed, Frank Miller steers the viewer into Batman’s haunting end game, cre-

“Like any hero, Batman is complex. Here we see him as a ather fgure,

instructing one o my avorite creations, dear Carrie Kelly.”  

—Frank Miller

92203  Frank Miller Batman: The Dark Knight Returns (10th Anniversary Edition) Batman and

Robin Frontispiece Splash Page Original Art (DC, 1997).

Denitive is the only adequate description o this masterpiece. Time magazine ranked The Dark Knight

Returns as one o the top ten graphic novels ever created. As Alan Moore wrote about the series: “Beyondthe imagery, themes, and essential romance o Dark Knight, Miller has also managed to shape the Batman

into a true legend by introducing that element without which all true legends are incomplete and yet

which or some reason hardly seems to exist in the world depicted in the average comic book, and that

element is time — time has come to the Batman and the capstone that makes legends what they are has

nally been tted. In his engrossing story o a great man’s nal and greatest battle, Miller has managed to

create something radiant which should hopeully illuminate things or the rest o the comic book eld,

casting a new light upon the problems which ace all o us working within the industry and perhaps even

guiding us towards some resh solutions.”

  Ten years ater it was released the shock waves in the industry were still peaking, and or the 10th

Anniversary Edition o the ground-breaking series, Frank Miller created this perect stand-alone image o 

Batman and Robin (Carrie Kelley, the rst emale, ull-time Robin), in action, in their element cloaked in thedarkness o night — this one has everything going or it.

Frank Miller’s splash page o the Dynamic Duo shattered all existing records or a piece o comic art in one

o our previous auctions, and we a similar demand in the market or this visionary piece. This gem has been

locked away in Frank Miller’s own collection since the 10th Anniversary Edition’s publication and is the de-

nition o “resh to market.” And unlike many pages rom the series, where dierences between the original

art and the published version are evident (as a result o Miller making changes on pasteovers), no changes

were made to this artwork or publication, and the original contains no paste-ups or stats — it’s pure Miller

art, just the way it appeared in print.

In short, this is one o the most senses-shattering pieces o original comic book art Heritage has ever had

the pleasure to oer! This splash page has an overall size o 12” x 19”, and the art is in Excellent condition.

From the Collection o Frank Miller.

92331  Robert Crumb The People’s Comics Cover Original Art (Golden Gate Publishing, 1972). By 1972, Robert Crumb was nothing short obasket case. Burned out rom ame — the anboys, the pushy businessmen, the have-nots looking or a hand-out — it all helped turn Crumb into a witdrawn, bitter young man or a ew years. Pushing him over the edge was the Ralph Bakshi animated eature lm Fritz the Cat , a project Crumb wanted part o (the contracts were signed by his estranged rst wie ater Robert split). Still, he kept on producing comics, and even though they were somewhmore mean-spirited than his earlier work, the art kept getting better and better. Here’s a great example o his mid-1970s work, the cover to The PeoplComics. This is the inamous comic that eatured “Fritz the Cat Superstar”, the story where Robert kills o the character he had drawn since early chihood. The cover art is ink on bristol, with an image area o approximately 8.75” x 12.75”. It’s in Excellent condition.

Mr. Barry SandovalHeritage AuctionsDallas, Texas

Dear Barry,

I wanted to thank you and your colleagues or everything that Heritage has donemarketing and auctioning the comic book collection o my late brother-in-law GaryDahlberg.

When Gary passed away, the amily knew very little about vintage comic

collecting. We knew Gary’s collection was valuable but had no idea how valuable.We discussed the collection with several o the leaders in the comic book collectingindustry beore selecting Heritage to represent us.

We were all thrilled to see Gary’s collection eatured in a special catalog withphotographs and his personal biography, as well as in all o the printed mailers andbrochures you put out beore the Signature Auctions. With your cooperation andinvolvement, the collection was covered in many magazine and newspaper articles,making the ront page o the Minneapolis Star Tribune. It was also shown on TV news.Heritage committed to using its considerable resourses in marketing this collection.You sure came through.

I was present at the frst auction which eatured extremely competitive bidding, andsaw the frst 400 comics sell or well over $1 million. Sales at this point are close to$2 million and still going s trong.

I strongly eel that Heritage made sure that Gary’s collection was prepared andpresented in the most proftable way. In doing this, Gary’s name and collection hasbecome well known to every serious collector in the country. I don’t think anyone could

have done a better job.I have talked to many people in your company over the last several months.

Everyone I talked to was very patient with me and took the time to make sure all o my questions were completely answered. The entire amily is impressed with yourexpertise and proessionalism throughout the process. We all are extremely glad thatwe chose Heritage to represent us.

Sincerely,

Tom Madison
