Owner's Description
Issue #65 involves Green Lantern teaming up with a reformed Doctor Polaris to eventually thwart an alien plot to use a machine at the North Pole to dehydrate the Earth.
When we purchased our first 9.8 of Issue #65 way back on 2/3/2012 in a CL auction, it was one of 5 highest graded; however, as of May 2020 now there are 10 9.8s in the census, so obviously this is not a tough book to find in high grade. But our 9.8 does come from the Twin Cities Collection. The Twin Cities Collection 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 WP Twin Cities copy in a trade with another collector.
