*DC: The villainous Star Sapphire was originally a foe of the Golden Age Flash, but as with so many Golden Age DC characters, was reinvented for the Silver Age. This time she was a nemesis of Green Lantern and her alter ego was Hal’s love interest (and boss) Carol Ferris. Carol was brainwashed into the role by the Zamarons, a race of warrior women out to prove men inferior. The Star Sapphire concept has been much broadened by DC over the years, but never bettered, in my opinion, than these original appearances in the classic Silver Age Green Lantern series, particularly as depicted by Gil Kane. Shown below, #16 (first appearance) is a pence stamped copy, in decent condition with some edge wear and corner blunting, a small upper spine split of less than 1.5 cm, tight staples and an unmarked cover. #26 (2nd app) has edge wear, corner blunting and minor soft creasing (virtually no colour breaks), pence stamped, tight staples, unmarked cover. #41 (3rd app), has some edge wear and corner blunting, good cover gloss, a soft diagonal crease which just breaks colour across the logo, pence stamped, good staples.
