Jackie Robinson changed America”! Jackie’s sudden impact on the game instantly made him a hero for many avid young baseball fans, and the Fawcett Publication Company in 1950 decided to promote this highly idolized legend. Considering that a young boy’s two great passions were baseball and comic books, the prestigious publication company decided to issue Jackie Robinson’s “True Life Story” in a comic book issue released in May, 1950. While the initial plan was to distribute only the single issue, its overwhelming success prompted Fawcett Publications to issue five different Robinson comics over the next two years. This issue is a rare variation that lists it as "No. 1" on the front cover. The back cover shows an ad for hockey memorabilia that is not typical on this issue. It's in excellent condition.
