Description: Brave and the Bold #57 Featuring: the 1st appearance of "METAMORPHO the Element Man"with 1st appearances ofSapphire Stagg; Simon Stagg; & JAVA!!(and RAMONA FRADON's well done cover images designed to draw you right in from curiosity) A December 1964 - January 1965 issueGRADED 7.5 (with WHITE pages) by CGC!!A particularly attractive CGC 7.5 with rare (for a copy turning 6 DECADES old in 2025) WHITE pages!! Written by Bob Haney;Cover and Interior Art by Ramona Fradon!! See below for complete information on the condition of this beautifully-preserved classic issue Long term storage in a Mylar bag with an acid-free boarduntil submission to CGC in April of 2024!! This issue was bagged and boarded since purchase and (since 1990, when I learned about the superior results attainable with archival storage products and moved my entire collection into those products) it was preserved in a thick archival Mylar bag with a heavy-weight acid-free board, and stored in my smoke-free, pet-free, climate-controlled home. It was removed from its Mylar bag for the first time to be graded by CGC!! I submitted it to CGC to be graded and encased and it was returned, with a 7.5 Grade in April of 2024. This copy, both before and after processing by CGC, NEVER has spent a single day in an attic, basement or storage unit, (and it NEVER will as long as I own it!).Thanks to careful handling, and long-term storage in Mylar, and despite turning 6 DECADES old in 2025, this issue STILL looks GREAT, especially in its brand new CGC holder with a Universal Label showing that it STILL has WHITE pages!! Note that the photos used in this listing are not stock images. They are images of the exact copy being offered for sale. The first 12 photos show the covers, the CGC Grade and creator/content details, and all the corners, ends and edges of the BRAND NEW CGC case. The last photo shows it back in its CGC-provided polybag awaiting shipment to its new owner. Check out other CGC-graded copies and you'll see for YOURSELF that this is a particularly NICE looking copy, fully worthy of the 7.5 grade that it earned!!
