Item Description
3.25x5-3/8" postcard, No. 2 in a series of eight cards issued by DC Comics in late 1941. The postcard has typed name and address of Welch, WV. "The Daily News" editor and bears Oct. 23, 1941 postmark. Front of postcard features full body image of Wonder Woman. Full text on front reads "Wonder Woman Says 'Meet The Wildcat!' - Another Feature In The Eighth Of The 'D.C.-Superman Monthlies!" w/large "Sensation Comics" comic book title logo at bottom. Below mention of Wildcat is inset portrait image of the superhero, who made his debut in "Sensation Comics" #1 (Jan. 1942). Back features "Detective Comics" image w/tiny Batman portrait and "And Detective Comics Is #2 Of All Monthly Comics!" text along w/"No. 2 Of A Series! Watch For Six More!" This references the card series that began w/Wonder Woman on No. 1 and featured The Black Pirate on No. 4. All of these cards are extremely rare and we have seen only two others (Wonder Woman and Black Pirate, as previously mentioned). Given the extreme rarity of these cards, it is most likely that a complete set of all eight does not exist. Card has been postally issued and as such shows lt. wear from mailing. Even lt. aging, but VF overall. An amazing DC Comics promotional rarity, the only example of this card we've offered in our 48 years.
