From 1975-1978: a lot of 8 DC #1 issues.  Some great comics creators contributed to these issues, including Wally Wood, Steve Ditko, Denny O'Neil and more!  Average condition of this lot is Fine.  All staples are present, free from rust, and holding all pages and covers together.  No water damage.  Specific defects will be noted below.

In this lot you get:

1. Justice Inc. #1 Scripter Denny O'Neil and artist Al McWilliams adapt the pulp character created by Kenneth Robeson.  Cover by Joe Kubert.  Fine Plus condition: there are several spine stress lines on the front cover, and some slight soiling visible along the upper edge of the back cover. 
   
   
2. Stalker #1. First appearance.  Written by Paul Levitz, penciled by Steve Ditko, inked by Wally Wood, who also drew the cover.  Fine condition. Slight color loss from abrasion along the spine of the front cover.  Minor ink transfer staining on the back cover.
   
   
3. Sherlock Holmes #1.  Denny O'Neil adapts stories by Holmes' creator Arthur Conan Doyle.  E. R.

Inside is a rare opportunity to see Steve Ditko penciling the Batman in a story.  Al Milgrom inks, and Gerry Conway is the scripter.  Fine condition.  Note this book was manufactured with only a single staple, the upper one.  There is a color break at the spine right above this staple.  Slight abrasive color loss along the lower edge of the front cover.  The back cover has some creasing near the lower right-hand corner, but this creasing does not break color.
