Owner's Description
Thor battles the Carbon Copy Man from Outer Space in this early JIM issue. I have stepped myself up slowly with this issue from a 9.0 to a 9.2 to a 9.4 and finally this copy, which comes from the Federal Hill Collection. For anyone wondering, I do not think that is the most economical path to obtain a high grade issue LOL. This Twin Cities copy is one of two highest graded and was acquired in the March 8, 2020 CL auction. Gary Dahlberg 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 Gary Dahlberg 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 consistently high page quality. The collection ultimately brought over $2.4 million at auction.
2022 Update: There is now a third 9.6 in the census.
