Item Description
Lot of four items issued by Fawcett Publications Inc. for girls' only comic club, a rarity for the time. 8.5x11" club welcome letter mentions included badge as well as Fawcett comics. PostScript mentions fashion tips. Folded as mailed but o/w Exc. 3x4" membership card features Mary Marvel on both sides. Front of card has small inked signature of original recipient at designated area. The red color on Mary image on front is slightly off-register, noticeably only on face. Slightest aging, one pinpoint nick at center but still VF/Exc. 1-7/8" dia. stiff cardboard "Official Badge" flip pin has bar pin and string attachments so piece can be flipped to show each side which features colorful images of Mary Batson and Mary Marvel. Some creases from use. Fine. Comes w/4x5.75" single-sided promotional sheet featuring Mary Marvel, telling readers to "Look For Her In Captain Marvel Adventures." Sheet was issued in 1942 (Mary Marvel debuted in "Captain Marvel Adventures" #18, cover-dated Dec. 1942). NM. Badge is scarce while all else is rare. We've only offered a few examples of each in our 53 years.
