Item Description
This is one of the best Robin covers that you may ever see. Jack
Burnley’s cover art shines as he gives Robin the appearance of a later day
Tarzan while still retaining the essence of the character. Take a look at the
determination on his face, he was not messing around. Burnley also handled some
of the interior art. Robin was featured on the cover of Star Spangled from
issues #65 through #95. This issue also featured the third appearance of
DC’s Revolutionary War hero, Tomahawk. He moved onto the cover with issue
#96. Star Spangled Comics lasted until 1952 when it became Star Spangled War
Stories with issue #131. Until then, it was one of DC’s Golden Age greats
with a long history of solid characters like the Newsboy Legion and Robotman
among others. Artists featured in this issue are Win Mortimer, Jimmy Thompson
and Fred Ray. The pages are light tan to off white. The book is CGC-certified VF
8.0. According to the CGC census, this copy is tied with two other copies as the
highest graded copy.
