SET DETAILS
Owner's Description
Showcase #39 marks the 3rd appearance of the Metal Men and the first appearance of Chemo. The last two Metal Men Showcases are exceptionally hard to find in high grade. Grade-wise, this is the worst book in this set and only a third highest graded example, but it does hail from the prestigious Don & Maggie Thompson Pedigree Collection. The Thompsons were responsible for several publications and writings during the '60s that helped bring together comic book fandom as we know it today. Already adults when Fantastic Four #1 was released in 1961, the Thompsons carefully stored away copies of most Marvel and DC comics throughout the '60s and '70s. Don passed away in 1994, and in 2013 Maggie decided to sell the collection through Heritage, resulting in nearly $1 million in sales, thanks to the pristine condition of their comics, which included an Avengers #1 and Tales of Suspense #39 in 9.4, a Journey into Mystery #83 in 9.2 and a Hulk #1 in 8.5.
We acquired the book from Sam I Am in a private transaction in January 2026.
