Owner's Description
Issue #17 features the second appearance of the Green Goblin along with an appearance by the Human Torch. Our 9.6 comes from the Pacific Coast Collection and is tied for second highest graded trailing seven 9.8s. n 1992 this massive collection of 100,000 comics was discovered in a barn in Tuscon, Arizona by Greg Buls and Howard Harris. It was assembled through a used bookstore between 1955 and 1972 who discounted unsold comic books by writing a grease pencil "8" inside a circle, indicating a discount of 2 cents off the original 10 cent cover price. This practice continued as cover prices increased to 12 cents (with a grease pencil "10" written as the discount), 15 cents, and 20 cents, with an estimated 50% of the collection exhibiting the written discount. Of note, many of the highest graded horror and science fiction Atlas comics from the '50s hail from this pedigree.
We acquired the book from the 5/12/2021 Pedigree Comics Auction.
