Owner's Description
Issue #32 is a somewhat strange one, plot-wise that is. While charging his power ring, Green Lantern is suddenly sucked into it and transported to a world where it's heroes (Energiman, Golden Blade, Strong Girl, and Magicko) have been captured by the tyrant Vant Orl. Green Lantern uses his power ring to fight off Vant Orl's various weapons and frees that world's heroes. Imprisoning Vant Orl, Green Lantern is thanked by that worlds heroes before he returns home to tell Pieface about his adventure.
Unlike the prior issues, there are no 9.8s of this one as of May 2020. Ours is tied for highest graded with three others, but this beauty has WP and a Twin Cities Pedigree. 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 9/6/2011 CL auction.
