SET DETAILS
Owner's Description
Issue #58 features the second and final tryout issue for Enemy Ace, which next appears in Star Spangled, War Stories #138, April-May 1968. Our WP 9.8 comes from the Boston Collection and is tied for highest graded. Named for the city from which Bechara Maalouf hails, he unveiled a box of very high grade Silver Age books at a New York show in the '90s. An older couple began coming to the same show with similar boxes, who dealers realized was the source of Bechara's find. Mainly consisting of comics from 1964 to 1975, the Boston collection contained many duplicates, but did not exhibit any identifiable markings on the covers. Of note, the Fantastic Four #55 graded CGC 9.9, one of the few 9.9 grades assigned to a Silver Age comic book.
We acquired the book from the Oct 17, 2023 Heritage Auction.
