JUMBO COMICS was not the first comic book, but it could be called a comic book of firsts Ð because this long-running series launched dozens of comic characters, and featured many of the great names of comics such as Jack Kirby, Bob Powell, Will Eisner, Matt Baker, Bob Kane and others. JUMBO began primarily as a reprint comic, but before long was a full-color showcase for original stories. From 1938-1953 --- a fantastic 15 year run, JUMBO COMICS was a mainstay of the Golden Age of Comics and Beyond.

This is the rare and expensive first issue, a lot less rare and a lot less expensive now! This issue introduced characters who would remain in JUMBO COMICS for years and years, including Sheena, Wilton of the West, Hawks Of The Seas (aka The Hawk), ZX-5 Spies In Action and many more! It's as iconic as a comic can get!

This book was published in B&W, although some of the pages were not actually white Ð for that reason the color process presents the best authentic experience.
