Owner's Description
Issue #67 involves an ex-con, Billy Baggett, a criminal jailed by GL, who has learned how to use his will power to control Green Lantern’s power ring. He uses his power to repeatedly to confound our hero until eventually Hal manages to turn the tables on him and return him to prison.
After two high census issues of 9.8, we reach Issue #67 where there are none. The Twin Cities copy is one of five 9.6s topping the census. 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 August 18, 2011 Heritage auction.
