Fans of Wonder Woman are checking their bank accounts. They all hope that
they will have a chance at the 8.5 CGC copy of Sensation #1 that is going
up for auction in Heritage’s next Signature auction. Scheduled to be held on May
18-20 in New York, the auction will also feature a high number of sought-after
lots, but all eyes still are coming back to the Sensation #1.

Ed
Jaster, Director of Acquisitions for HCA said, “Although this isn’t the true
first appearance of the Maid of Might – that occurred one month prior to this
issue, in All-Star Comics #8 – this is the first book to cover feature
the Amazing Amazon, and is a key book for any Golden Age collection. This is a
fresh-to-the-market book, submitted to CGC by Heritage on behalf of a coin
dealer who purchased it fresh in his store from a local patron presumed to be
the original owner.”

“In addition to the Wonder Woman story, this issue
is also significant in that it introduced two other future Justice Society
members, Wildcat and Mr. Terrific,” Jaster added. “Add to that the fact that
this particular book is one of the four best copies known to exist, and you’ve
got a real winner.”

What has really bought this sale into the public
consciousness is all the buzz surrounding the upcoming Wonder Woman movie.
Nothing like a little attention form Hollywood to make a heroine feel even more
special.
