Owner's Description
Once again, Daredevil and Doc Doom appear in issue #40. There are no 9.8s in the census, this is one of eight 9.6s and boasts white pages. 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 acquired this book in a large book swap in 2018.
