Item Description
This cover is notorious for its use of a large photo of Hitler on the
cover. It doesn't stop there either. There is an origin of Hitler feature
inside. The cover is also known for two other reasons. First, the number of
heroes working together on the cover implies that it is a team book. However,
the only team up inside is Daredevil and the Pirate Prince. They get together to
battle Hitler. Secondly, the cover features a good picture of The Claw. The
cover is credited to "Woodro", the pen name usually used by Bob Wood. He was a
regular artist for Lev Gleason Publications, the publisher of this title. The
title itself lasted until 1956 when it was canceled with issue #132. This issue
contains some other great features: the Silver Streak, Lance Hale, Cloud Curtis,
and Dickey and Dean. The official title of the book was Daredevil Comics, but
issue number one, this one, is known as "Daredevil Battles Hitler." Daredevil
gets two stories where in the second, he battles The Claw. The pages are cream
to off-white. The book is CGC-certified NM 9.4. This copy is tied with one other
as the second highest graded copy CGC has seen.
