SET DETAILS
Owner's Description
Green Lantern's foe Keith Kenyon reruns in Issue #48. Calling himself Goldface, Kenyon uses a spray that turns whatever it touches into gold. Issuing a challenge across the city by meaning radio messages through all the cities gold demanding that people turn over Green Lantern for their lives.
After a couple of inconclusive battles, Hal manages to best Goldface by making the air around him solid so that the gold that coated around him coated the solid air and not him. Breaking free of the gold, Hal quickly knocks out Goldface's goons and then defeats Goldface with his own gold controlling helmet and turns him over to the police.
As to our copy of this issue. it is one of two highest graded. However, as of this writing, we also own the other 9.8 as well. The one in this set is the Pacific Coast copy, while the other has white pages. It is always difficult to decide which to sell in such situations. Notably, this book marks the start or our 9.8 run, as from #48-89, we have 40 9.8s out of 42 issues. Of the two we lack, in neither case is there a 9.8 in the census as of May 2020. Most were not overly pricey, but it took years to find them all.
We acquired this book in the 3/13/2012 CL Auction.
