Owner's Description
Giant-Man battles the Black Knight in one of our favorite covers of this collection. This issue also features the origin as well as the first appearance of the Black Knight, Professor Nathan Garrett.
Our Dan/Maggie Thompson Pedigree copy is one of five 9.6s with none higher as of 1/2020. It sure looks like a 9.8 to us, the book is perfect. We acquired it in the February 20, 2014 Heritage auction. We sent the book to CGC and it was screened and pressed, but was not upgraded and is now in a different holder.
2022 Update: Unfortunately, in checking the census in a April 2022, I see that there is a 9.8 now topping the census, knocking our book out of the highest graded slot.
