*DC: Our Slab Happy feature, showcasing third party graded and slabbed comics, is back with a bang this week, with something rather special. World’s Best Comics #1, Spring 1941 (retitled World’s Finest Comics from #2 onwards) is the first of the long-running series starring DC’s biggest stars, Superman and Batman with Robin. Other strips in this giant 96 page issue include Crimson Avenger, Johnny Thunder, The King, Young Dr. Davis, Zatara, Lando, Man of Magic and Red, White & Blue. Writers include Siegel, Fox & Finger, artists Fleisel, Lampert, Gustavson, Purcell & Kane, with a classic cover from Fred Ray. This is CGC blue label (unrestored) graded as 0.5 (incomplete). From the CGC label: Page 1 & 48 missing, affects story; cover detached; white pages. Since this is slabbed, probably never to be read, the missing pages aren’t really a problem (although they keep it affordable in relative terms); the front and (illustrated) back covers are totally intact and look great. One of the most iconic and historically important comics we’ve ever had through our hands, now 80 years old.
