Our previously listed spotlight this week shines on a famous time traveller! In 1959’s Showcase #20, considerably preceding the debut of a more famous time-travelling explorer, DC premiered Rip Hunter, Time Master, in which our eponymous hero’s Time Sphere took him and his chums to mystery and adventure in the past, the future, and occasionally even outer space! Our heroes – Rip himself, Jeff, Bonnie and Corky – followed the heroic template of ‘The Brain, the Brawn, the Babe and the Brat’ so beloved of comics writers, and after three further Showcase appearances, Rip and the gang got their own series in 1961. This debut issue of Jack Miller’s creation is a highly attractive VG/FN cents copy at £83, with no UK price or overstamp, and with a revamped Rip being a central character in “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow” TV show, now is the time to pick up his early appearances. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
