Showcase #78 (DC, Nov 1968)
Cover by Dick Giordano. Key issue featuring the 1st appearance of Jonny Double in “Meet Jonny Double!” — a hard-boiled, down-on-his-luck ex-cop turned private eye created by Marv Wolfman (story) and Joe Gill (dialogue), with art by Jack Sparling. Across three chapters, Jonny navigates crooked businessmen, hired muscle, and a murderous conspiracy, all while scraping by with his trademark grit. Includes ads for Angel and the Ape #1, Justice League of America #67, and other Silver Age DC classics. Bonus features: a profile of Al Williamson and a half-page spotlight on Joe Kubert.
MAJ. PICTO’S GRADING NOTES: VF (8.0) – sharp copy with strong cover gloss, solid spine, and bright page quality; light handling wear but excellent overall presentation.
