origin & 1st app of Black Terror (Bob Benton), Wexler bondage cvrExciting Comics #9, released in May 1941, is a gem of the Golden Age of Comics. This anthology book features a dynamic array of stories and characters, including the debut of the iconic superhero, The Black Terror. Clad in a distinctive skull and crossbones outfit and armed with superhuman strength, Black Terror captured the imagination of readers, becoming a beloved figure in the comic book world during the wartime era.
Historically, this comic holds immense significance as it marked the introduction of a memorable character who would go on to enjoy cult success, possibly acting as inspiration for the Bronze Age antihero The Punisher. Investing in this book is a prudent choice for collectors. Its rarity makes it a coveted piece for enthusiasts. With the growing demand for vintage comics, this issue promises both cultural and financial value, making it a wise addition to any discerning collector's portfolio.
Golden Age superhero collectors are guaranteed to be paying close attention to this copy of Exciting Comics #9 as it is an exceedingly scarce commodity that almost never comes up for auction. The introduction of the Black Terror is a minor league classic of the age as the character’s distinctive look was certainly a departure from the typical brightly garbed heroes of the era. There are less than 40 copies of this comic on the CGC census, with this book sitting squarely around the center of the pack, this 4.5 example is in a condition that remains quite attractive while also being affordable to a larger pool of bidders. We expect there will be some strong competition over this GA milestone at auction. An Exciting Comics #9 4.5 sold for $10,500 in April 2023.
Overstreet Guide 2023 VG+ (4.5) value = $3,825.
