SET DETAILS
Owner's Description
Dragon-Man makes his first appearance in issue #35. 9.8s of this one are relatively common in the census, with five as of 2/2020, but our 9.8 comes from the 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.
The book was also part of the Doug Schmell Collection, which was auctioned off by Heritage in July 2012. We acquired the book from another collector in a private transaction in January 2020.
