Owner's Description
In Issue #75, Daredevil saves US Ambassador Jerome Villiers from thugs working for El Condor, a costumed revolutionary who people believe is either a reincarnation of the famous revolutionary figure of the region, or somebody posing as him.
But the ambulance drivers that are supposed to take Villiers to the hospital turn out to also be working for El Condor and take the wounded ambassador to El Condor as their prisoner. Daredevil sets out to locate Villiers and stop El Condor, but along the way, he sees that US representative Keith Bayard has rounded up a posse to fight El Condor which is easily defeated and Bayard is captured. DD overhears El Condor say that Bayard is more valued to him alive.
Our WP 9.8 comes from the Twin Cities Collection and is tied for highest graded. 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 the book from the October 30, 2011 Heritage Auction.
