Today, I am offering a very rare piece of comic history. Don't miss this opportunity to own DC's World's Fair Comics from the 1940 event in New York City. It features the first appearance of Superman, Batman & Robin together on the cover along with a combined adventure inside and several other stories. Additionally, it features the first time Jack Burnley did the artwork for a DC comic cover. The book is complete, color is good, and pages show only slight yellowing. Overall though, I would only rate it in the Fair to Good range at best--you can and should use your own judgement though, as I am not a professional. The cover is intact but has several issues - folds, tears at the top and bottom of the spine, and various other blemishes including a faint pair of glasses drawn on Superman and Robin is holding a 'popsicle'. Inside, the first page has separated completely and has some tearing and flaking at the edges. T is a watermark at the top edge of most pages and a few have small tears or chips BUT, t are no folds, tape, separation or other issues throughout the majority of the interior and again, the color is exceptional. All in all, this is a rare and important comic that would make a great addition to any DC/Golden Age collection. As I am not a collector nor am I trained in comics grading please email with any specific questions read more
