SET DETAILS
Owner's Description
Following publication of this issue I never looked at the Wizard of Oz quite the same way again: if the scarecrow on this Tec cover is not one of the scariest rendered scarecrows in the history of comic books I would be surprised.
I do not recall purchasing this issue at my newsstand but do distinctly remember placing my original OO copies of this issue into an "acid- free/neutralizing" environment, not so with the majority of my OO books. I believe I remember this book so distinctly because of the cover. Yet, I do not recall performing this "service" for Tec 412 or most of my other books.
Although this cover is not one of my top three in Adams' run on this title, perhaps number five, it does show Adams at the peak of his talents on this or any title.
Keeper, until I can secure a white paged CGC graded 9.8 copy with, can you guess, absolutely perfect cover alignment; although not a CGC graded 9.8 copy, a CGC graded 9.6 copy was added to this set in January 2020.
Neal Adams' rendition of a scarecrow scared other scarecrows:
