Owner's Description
Ahh...Showcase 37...The very first appearance of Dr. Will Magnus and his Metal Men (key word "his"...hmm). The Grail Grail of Metal Men. SC37 cost me some coin...although only half of my MM1 9.6 WP. This is an insanely beautiful comic with deep colors and white pages. It graded 8.5 because of a lower right printer crease and minor top chipping. I've seen many SC 37's with creases. I saw a auction 9.0 with more creases and color fading, so my copy should be a 9.0...then again, I am no grader!! Seems the SC37s paper quality was poor as many are in bad shape and disintegrating. I have raw poor copy and a good 6.0 reading copy. I owned a CGC 6.5 and a 8.0, which I sold to help acquire the 8.5. I don't have SC37-40 in a bound volume set, but looking for them.
This is the appearance of the "Flaming Doom", although it's not actually named, which is a a giant prehistoric Manta Ray...certainly no Godzilla!! Manta attacks the Chrysler Building in NYC, and has heat vision.
