classic L.B. Cole cover/art; bullet in the head panel


Mask Comics #1 offers a visionary cover that's established L.B. Cole as one of the most remarkable artists to work in comics of any era. Cole's bold, bright style would make him one of the earliest comic artists to be considered seriously by critics, employing a range of skills that he'd developed at the University of Berlin. That included Cole's visionary use of "poster colors" as primary colors against black backgrounds.

This quasi-psychedelic cover art for Mask #1 is a prime example, and remains one of the most sought-after books from the Golden Age. The cover for Mask #2 is equally impressive, but this issue holds a particular draw for serious collectors. The book has more than earned a well-deserved place among the most important issues of the Golden Age — as a true artifact that goes for staggering numbers even at lower grades.
_________________________________________________

This 3.0 Mask Comics #1 is a rare investment opportunity for fans of L.B. Cole and collectors of Golden Age keys. The books remains structurally sound while preserving the notoriously vivid colors behind Cole's wild vision. This classic comic also remains one of the rarest grails of the Golden Age, with only 83 copies listed in the CGC Census.
