DOUBLE COVER ERROR! | Four Color #178 (1947) | CGC 2.5
1st Appearance of Uncle Scrooge - "Christmas on Bear Mountain"
You are bidding on a
CGC 2.5 (Good+)
graded copy of
Four Color
#178. This is a rare
Manufacturing Error
copy featuring a
Double Cover
.
Why this is a "Grail" Item:
The Error:
This book was manufactured with
two covers
stapled to the interior! Double covers are highly prized by error collectors because the outer cover protects the inner cover, often leaving the second cover in much higher grade than the technical 2.5 grade on the label.
The Key:
This issue features the historic
First Appearance of Uncle Scrooge McDuck
in the story
"Christmas on Bear Mountain."
He appears here as a bearded, recluse miser—a far cry from the adventure-loving tycoon he would become.
The Artist:
Features the legendary writing and interior art of
Carl Barks
, the creator of Scrooge and the "Duck Universe." (Note: Cover art is by Dan Gormley).
