A Golden Age rarity due to a limited print run, racial prejudice, and economics of the late 1940s, few copies have survived and even fewer in the offered condition. Completely original and unrestored, this is a flat and colorful example with enough wear to warrant a grade of Fine. The Brooklyn Dodgers and Jackie Robinson made history and Negro Heroes #2 (the final issue) appropriately had the 1947 Rookie of the Year on the front cover as the feature story.
