Owner's Description
Issue #70 does not add much to Green Lantern mythology, but instead involves a powerful robot from outer space who just wants to be a comedian. Unfortunately, he is not funny and is used by a bunch of crooks on Earth to commit crimes. Eventually, our hero stops the crooks, returns the robot to his home planet, and reprograms the robot so that he actually is funny.
Unlike our Issue #69, this Rocky Mountain WP copy remains the single highest of this issue as of 5/2020. The Rocky Mountain Collection was assigned to a large Marvel and DC Silver Age collection originally auctioned by Comiclink in 2008. The Spider-Man, Fantastic Four and X-men runs were first auctioned without pedigree, but due to high collector interest the decision was made by CGC to classify the collection as a pedigree. Subsequently those three runs were retroactively given the Rocky Mountain notation. Hailing from Colorado, the collection numbered around 5,000 books, initially stored in a basement in similar conditions to the Mile High collection. None of the books exhibit identifying marks, but are easily traceable back to Comiclink.
I was previously happy with the 9.6 Pacific Coast copy until a friend offered me this only 9.8 in 2019. Following the acquisition, I sold the Pacific Coast book in a CL auction. For all I got for it, I might as well have kept it. Books in this area of the run seem to go for very little. Still, the cover is kinda neat.
I have noted this elsewhere, but the debate between a Pacific Coast book and a Rocky Mountain Book is an interesting one. Generally speaking, I always go for the PC book through 1965, but in the later 60s and 70s book, I have found that the Rocky Mountain books are generally the best available.
