Owner's Description
Issue #98 features the origin and first appearance of the Human Cobra, Klaus Voorhees. Our 9.6 is from the Twin Cities Collection, which seems to contain more high grade early Thors than any other pedigree. Gary Dahlberg 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 consistently high page quality. The collection ultimately brought over $2.4 million at auction.
Our book is one of nine 9.6s trailing three 9.8s, so high grade copies of this issue are fairly common. We acquired the book from the 08/16/2011 Pedigree Comics Auction.
