Owner's Description
In Issue #38, Green Lantern is contacted by Tomar-Re for help in destroying a changeling creature powered by atomic energy that was accidentally unleashed by the archaeologist Ixnal on Tomar's home plane
With the creature now on Earth, Tomar and Hal team up to stop the creature by trapping it mid-transformation. With the creature trapped in a green sphere, Hal turns it over to Tomar-Re to take back to his home planet for confinement.
Our WP 9.8 is the single highest graded as of May 2020. It also comes from the Twin Cities Collection, which was the product of Gary Dahlberg who spent his life carefully buying, reading and storing comic books away throughout the '60s and '70s, with aspirations to become a cartoonist one day. Sadly, he died in a fire in 2010, but to the astonishment of his family his collection was appraised at more than $1 million by Heritage, who auctioned the books in 2011. Consisting of mainly Marvel and DC, this accumulation has no identifying marks but yielded some of the highest grades of the early Marvel period with considerably high page quality. The collection ultimately brought over $2.4 million at auction.
We were lucky to acquire the book from another collector in 2019.
