Rare Copy of Wow No. 2 Discovered
Wow Comics from 1936 was one of the earliest such magazines featuring original content. The four -issue run was published by shirt manufacturer John Henle and edited by Sam Iger. The first issue featured the initial comic book work of the great Will Eisner, creator of the Spirit, Sheena and many other characters. All four issues are scarce to rare, and Wow Comics No. 2, August 1936, may be the rarest comic book in existance, with less than five copies known to exist.
John Haines Rare Comics was fortunate recently to acquire a previously unknown copy, and premiered it at
the Baltimore Comic Con. Below is a
picture
of Old Man Haines holding the magazine.
