white pgs. Jon Berk Collection Tuska, Powell art (10/40) COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 6 (CBI) Edgar Church / Mile High Copy Highest Graded
Mystery Men Comics #15 features none other than the Blue Beetle on the cover, a superhero who has led a labyrinthine path through the industry, moving from publisher to publisher, only to end up featured in a big-budget Hollywood production in the modern day. This Golden Age anthology book features contributions from Bob Powell, Dick Briefer, and Fred Schwab, all names familiar to fans of comics of the period. There's also the famously fictional Kooba Cola brand hawked on this comic's cover, adding to the allure and overall desirability of this classic collectible.

This striking 9.2 Mystery Men Comics #15 easily tops the scarce 22 copies listed on the CGC Census, with stark white pages that are typical of the Edgar Church/Mile High pedigree often found in the prestigious Jon Berk Collection. A beautiful red wash adorns the background and bright yellow and orange tones contrast perfectly with the cooler hues of the Blue Beetle’s outfit. Remarkably well preserved for an 85-year-old comic, this is exactly what one would expect from a book with such incredible provenance, having passed through the hands of possibly the greatest Golden Age comic preservationist in the history of the hobby. The rarity and value of this gem should not be overlooked.
