Canada-based Superior Comics produced a number of very rare comic books, and romance comic GI War Brides #1 is one of them.
GI War Brides #1 is a combination of romance and war comic from Superior Comics. It was published in 1954, and this is a book that should be on your radar. According to Heritage Auctions, where this CGC 5.0 copy is taking bids right now, this is the first ever copy of number one that they have ever had. Think about that for a second. Heritage Auctions over the years has sold thousands upon thousands of comics, and this right here is the very first time they have ever auctioned or seen a copy of this book. That should set off some collector's sirens for sure. The book is currently at a bid of $41, which is low for a book of this rarity. Check it out below.

The cover for this book is so odd-looking. Is she on a balcony and they are looking up at her? Is that why the bottom of her dress looks like it is made of rod iron and that dude is awkwardly looking over his shoulder? Why are the bricks patterned on one side, and the other side of the window not? So many questions, but for a book this rare, who cares. Go here to place a bid, and while you are there go ahead and take a look at all of the other books taking bids right now.
