Owner's Description
In Issue #66, following the funeral of Ross Archer, Daredevil begins trying to figure out who is the one posing as Brother Brimstone and trying to murder the cast and crew of Karen's recent acting gig for the soap-opera "Strange Secrets."
Finding the blue prints to an exoskeleton, Daredevil is attacked once more by Brother Brimstone. Meanwhile, Karen goes to the La Brea Tar Pits to meet Lester Leroy who has some clues as to who the killer is. DD finding Lester's note, fearing that Karen is walking into a trap, goes after her.
At the tar pits Karen is attacked by Brother Brimstone, and is saved by the timely arrival of Daredevil. Their fight taking them right into the tar pits, DD attempts to save Brimstone. Pulling off his mask while trying to grab him and pull him to safety, Brother Brimstone is revealed to be Vince Sterling. However, while struggling to pull them out of the tar, Vince ends up sinking down into the tar due to the weight of his own exoskeleton. DD informs Karen that Vince's intention was murdering Karen and then framing Lance for all the murders because both had seen the blueprints to his exoskeleton.
Our 9.8 features WP and comes from the famous Pacific Coast Collection, which is generally considered to be the greatest Silver Age collection to ever surface. It was brought to market by Robert Roter after he discovered portions of it for sale on eBay in 1999. The books were marketed through PCE over the next several years and contained over 7,000 comics and magazines that included Marvel, DC, and Gold Key among others, covering a time span between 1961 and 1977. Many of the highest graded Marvel and DC issues from the early '60s hail from this collection with exceptional page quality. The books do not exhibit any distinguishing markings.
Additionally, our book is currently tied with just one other copy for highest graded. We acquired the book from the 2/24/2021 CL Auction.
