*DC: A rare treat this week with a classic from DC from 1943 extracted from the Bute Collection: an early squarebound issue of the omnibus title Comic Cavalcade (which ran from 1942 to 1954). The cover stars, Wonder Woman, Flash & Green Lantern are the big names in solo stories, but there are many other strips as well, including Hop Harrigan and Sargon the Sorceror, 12 stories in all. This is a really nice copy with the squarebound spine intact except for a tiny nick at the top. The cover colours are bright and reflective. Slight corner blunting with only minor edge wear; there are a couple of small colour-breaking creases across the bottom right corner (1-2 cm each). The letter ‘L’ is in wax crayon or pencil to the left of the upper logo, and the name ‘Ray’ in the same execution above the Flash’s head. The stiff card covers are tanned on the interiors, but the pages are secured by the original single staple, and the supple off-white to cream pages are firmly held at the spine by the original glue.
