Description

An obscure first issue surfaces in the form of this 2/43 Timely Comics Kid Komics #1 comic book. This debut issue also introduced a new Golden Age super-hero, with the first appearance of Captain Wonder. Secured in a CGC Restored Grade holder, this scarce comic is rated .5, Slightly Brittle Pages, with a Mod./Ext. (C-4) designation. Offsetting this humble grade, is the fact that CGC has encapsulated only 41 examples of this inaugural issue in all holder types combined. Label notes are "Restoration includes: color touch, pieces added. Otto Binder and Ray Gill stories, Wolverton, Oksner, Rico and Giacoia art, Sid Shores cover. Origin & 1st appearance Captain Wonder, Tim Mullrooney & Subbie.".
