Description
Comic Cavalcade #1 (Winter 1942), graded CGC 4.5 (Very Good+) with Off-White pages, published by DC Comics during the height of the Golden Age of Comics.
This historic first issue features a powerhouse trio on the cover and inside: Wonder Woman, The Flash (Jay Garrick), and Green Lantern (Alan Scott) — three of DC’s most important Golden Age heroes.
Comic Cavalcade was launched as part of DC’s wartime paper allocation strategy, combining popular anthology features into a larger 96-page format. Issue #1 is particularly significant as:
-
The first issue of the title
-
Early Golden Age Wonder Woman appearance (post-debut era surge)
-
Golden Age Flash & Green Lantern feature stories
-
Classic patriotic WWII-era cover
The Winter 1942 debut places this squarely in the core WWII collecting window, a period that continues to command strong demand among advanced Golden Age investors.
