Owner's Description
Issue #58 is not the most momentous issue, focusing on leaking radiation from GL’s ring, which causes him to act irrationally. There are no super villains and no great plot to summarize-I guess the writers had an off-month LOL.
Our copy bears the Twin Cities Pedigree and is one of three highest graded as of 12/2019. 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 from the 3/13/2012 CL Auction.
2022 Update: There are now 4 9.8s topping the census.
