Catman Comics #1
Continental Publ.

CGC NM 9.4 Off-White
Denver Pedigree

Serial #0064413001



Highest Certified by CGC! After proving himself in Crash Comics, Catman was given comics' equivalent of the corner office: his own title. And since his original outfit wasn't exactly the cat's pajamas, he got a spiffier costume as well. The blue garb you see here would itself only last for two issues... perhaps to avoid confusion with any other characters out there whose names ended in -atman, if you get our drift. Charles Quinlan drew both the sock-it-to-'em cover and an interior story. Inside the comic, the heroes backing up the feline crimefighter include Blaze Baylor, the Deacon, Rag-Man and Dr. Diamond. Catman is on many a want list -- even when you can find them they tend to be low grade, brown, brittle etc. That makes it all the more pleasing to lay eyes on this one, which has fresh cover colors of the kind usually only seen on pedigree books like this one. This is the highest-graded copy of this issue that CGC has certified to date -- you could search from here to Katmandu and not find a better one! 2009 Overstreet Guide value for NM- 9.2 is $6,800. Certified NM 9.4 comics from Pedigreed collections such as this, generally sell for multiples of the 9.2 Guide value.
