American Comics Update: The Midas Collection: All-American Comics #11 1940

*DC: In keeping with a lot of early American comics, All-American Comics started out featuring a lot of Sunday newspaper colour strips, here such as Mutt & Jeff, Reg’lar Fellers and many more. But there were original comic strips too, such as Hop Harrigan, Adventure In The Unknown, Red, White & Blue and here, in his first cover appearance in #11, the Flash Gordon alike Ultra-Man. Thus the way was paved for the Golden Age of super-heroes, with the debut of the original Green Lantern just a few short issues away. This dead historic and bumper 68-page issue #11 of All-American is one of the earliest comics in the Midas Collection. Although lower grade, it has a colourful and unspoilt cover with good reflectivity. The spine is cleanly split halfway up from the bottom, while the upper spine is secured by small pieces of tape. The spine is quite worn, with minor chipping at right edge, but otherwise wear is minimal. Bottom staple is detached from front cover; top staple is just about holding on at the back. The staples are firm at centrefold and quite shiny; they may be replacements. The comic holds together surprisingly well and the pages are a supple off-white.
