And the book:
Skipping over this result because… it can't be real, can it? I know PGX books take a penalty, but… the last FF#1 in 8.5 sold for 75k. PGX can't be an 80% penalty on one of the biggest books in the hobby, can it? You could make money on that even if it came back from CGC at maybe 6.5.

What is the best Golden Age comic for art and story?Action #1 has the first Superman story with the usual pedestrian Siegel/Shuster work and a bunch of forgettable filler.
Detective #27 has the first Batman story with the usual plagiarized Bob Kane story and art and a bunch of forgettable filler.
Marvel Comics #1 has the first Human Torch story by hack Carl Burgos, the first Sub-Mariner story (reprinted?) by the under rated Bill Everett, plus a bunch of forgettable filler.
Whiz#2 , Sensation #1, All American #16, Flash #1 etc. same as above.
It wasn't til Superman #1, Batman #1 and (?) that a full comic of quality (?) work appears.
Superman #1 is really just reprints from the first four Action Comics and Siegel/Shuster were not the creme of comic book talent.
Batman #1 is the far better of the two books as it is original and by this time Bob Kane, plagiarist par excellence, was having Batman ghosted by true talents. The artists though were hobbled by having to imitate Bob's style or lack there of.
So what is the pound per pound champ of Golden Age Comics? Captain America #1 with the origin of Cap and Bucky, first apperance of Cap, Bucky and the Red Skull, 4 Cap stories (45 pages) and two filler stories by no less than Simon & Kirby. Hey its 100%Simon & Kirby. Folks, it just doesn't get any better than this.
And, aside from being the best book for art/story from the Golden Age, Cap #1 is probably the most undervalued comic of the Golden Age.
With the possibility of an upcoming quality (think Iron Man) Captain America movie from Marvel, consider the potential of this completely unrestored copy of this great book.
It was the crown jewel of the Pedigree Grand Auction that closed tonight.

I went through the catalog yesterday. I limited myself to picking twelve lots of interest to share with you guys. It was tough because this is an auction full of some interesting material. The Joe Kubert lots themselves could have produced a decent set of 12 items to ogle.
This is clearly the book of the auction. I don't get excited easily by Silver Age marvels, but this book brings a smile to my face. It's tough to find in high grade and it's the HULK.
Hulk smash!
As of this writing it sits at $45,000. Still plenty of room for a thrill bid, I think.

Fantastic Four #37, page 8, original art, Jack Kirby
To editorialize, I wish original art finished atop the tables more often than it does. Especially Kirby art. He's the King after all.
Sold For: US $10,300.00 Seller: jofeman ( 4191 )
Description:
Up for auction is an original comic book art page by the legendary Jack Kirby. It is page 8 of the Fantastic Four comic book, issue #37, from 1965. It was inked by Chic Stone, and has been autographed by Stan Lee. Overall the page is in really nice shape for a 44 year old piece, but I will try to describe it as best as I can. This is an 5 panel action page, featuring all four members of the FF in action against the Skrulls. The page measures 21 x 13 1/2, and the art itself measures 18 1/2 x 12 1/2. I don't see any flaws on the artwork itself. Along the top margin, on the left is written "F. Four 37". On the right is written the number 10. I believe that was the number of the page including advertisements. Also on the top margin, is Stan's autograph in ball point pen. It reads: Stan Lee '76. Also in the top margin, on the left, right next to the book title and number, is written in very faint pencil "FF ATTACK SKRULLS". A line has been drawn along the right margin in red pen from top to bottom, with a three inch break in the middle. Inside the break is a small scribble done with pencil. Along the bottom of the page is taped "CONTINUED AFTER NEXT PAGE". The left hand side of the tape doesn't stick anymore, and is pulling up. In very faint pencil along the bottom left is "SKRULLS GET FF". There are a few tiny occasional pieces of tape along the edges of the page. The page is slightly yellowed from age, but surprisingly not too bad for a 44 year old piece. There is a slight scent of cigarette smoke, and there is an extremely faint bend along the middle of the page, but it is practically unnoticable at first glance. Again, as I said, overall, the page is in really great shape, with the only flaws being pretty much the normal wear of age that you would find with any comic art page that's 44 years old. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me, and check out my other auctions!
And here's the page:
Let me be the first to congratulate (and thank!) the eBay community for spending their hard earned money on something other than an Amazing Fantasy 15 this week.
And on Jack Kirby art, no less!
Good choice!
