American Comics Update: The Midas Collection: Two uncommon DC #1 issues: Feature Films and Gang Busters
*DC: Two #1 issues from the Quirky Corner of the Midas Collection this week.
PICTURED:
FEATURE FILMS #1 FN+ £200 From 1950, adaptation of the film ‘Captain China’, drawn by Jack Sparling. Photo cover from the film, starring John Payne, Gail Russell and Lon Chaney. Lovely condition copy with bright colours and only the most minimal wear; faint trace of a crease across bottom right corner, but virtually non-colour breaking. Tiny chip out top edge back cover. A rare item in a rare grade for its time; only four issues in this series were published.
GANG BUSTERS #1 VG/FN £200 From 1947, the first issue of a long-running crime series ‘based on the smash radio hit!’ Tough, violent and uncompromising. With atmospheric art by Dan Barry, Howard Sherman, Ed Moore, E E Hibbard and George Roussos. A superior copy with only minor edge wear and tiny chips out front cover top edge and back cover bottom edge. Slightly mis-cut as can be seen in the scan. Strong colour and a clean image; presents very well.
