Lot # 1673: 1941 Novelty Press Blue Bolt #8 - CGC 4.5

Attractive mid-grade example of Novelty Press' Blue Bolt #8, an early issue from the pioneering Golden Age superhero series created by Joe Simon, with art by Jack Kirby. Published just before America’s entry into World War II, this issue highlights the dynamic storytelling that would soon define the legendary Simon & Kirby partnership, paving the way for their famous Captain America Comics run. Fronted by a gripping cover fraught with peril, this book presents bright colors and solid eye appeal for the grade. Unrestored copies of early Blue Bolt issues are growing increasingly scarce, and this solid example is a satisfying and historically significant find for collectors seeking Simon & Kirby and pre-war superhero comics. Label notes are "Jack Kirby, Joe Simon, Paul Gustavson, Bill Everett, Bob Davis and Malcolm Kildale stories and art."
