Owner's Description
In Issue #44, Green Lantern clashes again with Evil Star who has escaped prison and has once more immobilized the Guardians of the Universe. Arriving on the planet, Evil Star once again removes Hal's power ring and destroys it. However, Hal has anticipated this move and recreated his original power ring, which was destroyed in his first battle with Evil Star and uses it to defeat the villain, restoring order to Oa and turning him over ot the Guardians.
As in the case of the next issue, 9.6s of this one are plentiful, but no 9.8s, at least not as of 10/2019. This one boast a Twin Cities pedigree with OW/W pages. The Twin Cities Collection was the product of Gary Dahlberg who 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 considerably high page quality. The collection ultimately brought over $2.4 million at auction.
We acquired the book in the 8/7/2011 Heritage Auction.
2022: Generally, when the census changes it always hurts and this one is no exception as a 9.8 hit the census over the last year knocking our book down to tied for second highest graded.
2025 Update: As of September 2025, this is the last issue where we don’t have a highest graded copy.
