Pedigree: Rocky Mountain

*Pedigree Background*
The Rocky Mountain pedigree, so named based on its Colorado roots, contains over 5,000 comic books in high grade runs of Marvel and DC titles from the 1960s and up. The comic books were stored meticulously for decades in a cool, dry basement, and have bold, newsstand fresh colors and white or off-white to white pages. “One of the unique things about the Rocky Mountain pedigree is that there are photographs of it in its original state, making it one of the most thoroughly documented pedigrees. It has long runs of Marvel and DC, and because of their high grades and their market acceptance, this collection certainly has special merit.” Collection brought to market by Comiclink president Josh Nathanson.

Story Title: "To Steal The Surfer's Soul"

*Synopsis*
With the Ghost as his pawn, Mephisto lures the Surfer back to Earth, and forces him into battling the Ghost who has been terrorizing the people of New York City. As the two battle, the Surfer and the Ghost appear to be equally matched, with the Surfer refusing to give up his soul.

When the Ghost grabs a human hostage, the Surfer is bombarded by an attacks from the Ghost, not wanting to attack for far of harming the Ghost hostage. Finally figuring a way to strike the Ghost without harming his hostage, the Ghost fails in collecting the Surfers soul. Wrought with guilt over the Surfer's chastising for using an innocent against the Surfer, the Ghost renounces Mephisto, who then begins to banish the Ghost back to Limbo. However, the Surfer, truly understanding the torment of the Ghost's soul, sheds a single tear, which breaks the Ghost's curse freeing him from Mephisto's control and allows him to finally reach his eternal rest while Mephisto retreats.
