Pedigree Comics' CEO and President Doug Schmell reports that his internet-based company has recently received on consignment three incredible new books. The first is a beautiful, unrestored copy of Flash Comics #1 in CGC certified 5.0 condition with off-white pages. The second is a CGC certified Universal Grade 3.0 copy of Superman #1, also with off-white pages. The third book is a very high grade 9.2 example of Tales of Suspense #39, which features the origin and introduction of Iron Man.

The Flash Comics #1 is one of the nicest copies in existence, trailing only the ridiculous 9.6 Edgar Church/Mile High copy, a lone 8.5 and three certified at 6.5. It is in excellent condition and would grade at around 8.0 if not for a small tear/crease at the right edge of the front cover. One of the most valuable comics in the world, it features the origin and introduction of the Flash and Hawkman. Mr. Schmell indicates that the back cover is basically flawless and will provide a scan of it upon request. The Superman #1 is the absolute nicest copy ever offered for sale by Pedigree Comics. It looks more like a 5.0 or a 5.5 and was obviously downgraded due to the very small amounts of color touch and glue on the cover (so minor that the book is in the blue Universal Grade labeled holder). It is the nicest unrestored 3.0 (Good/Very Good) in existence and has great eye appeal and fresh pages. According to Mr. Schmell, the back cover is really sharp and has the appearance of a Fine or Fine+ copy. Overall, it is strictly graded and an obvious investment item for years to come. 

The Tales of Suspense #39 is the 8th nicest known copy, trailing two pedigreed 9.6's (Pacific Coast and White Mountain) and five 9.4's. It is in gorgeous shape and looks closer to NM than NM-. It has a near-perfect front cover and fresh off-white pages. It is still one of the most in demand comic books right now, especially when considering the very recent announcement of the second Iron Man motion picture scheduled for a May, 2010 release. The cast will be nothing short of all-star (Robert Downey, Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Scarlet Johansson, Mickey Rourke and Samuel L. Jackson). With all the hype that is sure to engulf this sequel to the incredibly popular and successful first Iron Man movie, look for Tales of Suspense #39 to soar in value for months to come.
