Showcase (Vol 1 1956 DC) #15 1958 Fair+ Space Ranger

 

For Sale is Showcase #15 from 1958.

Showcase was a ‘try out’ magazine used by DC to determine popularity before starting a series with a particular character.

It famously reinvigorated superhero magazines and triggered the Silver Age by showcasing the (Silver Age) Flash.

This is the first of only two try out issues for Space Ranger.

He subsequently had a lengthy appearance in Tales of the Unexpected.

My policy:

I am accurate and conservative in my grading.

I will never grade higher than what I see as the actual quality of the comic; lower if anything.

(I will not call an issue Fine or even VG if there are any clear defects).

Pictures are of the actual comic for sale and will always show any defects.

Please judge the quality by the detailed description and the pictures provided.

There will be multiple pictures (not just front and back), minimum; front, back, first page and centre (for staples), and highlighting any defects.

 

I will add tracking at my expense where deemed appropriate.

Packaging will be very secure to ensure the product arrives in as good a condition as it has left me.

 

Postage will be reduced if multiple purchases are made.

Add each to cart and request an invoice.
