Owner's Description
Issue #87 features the first appearance of John Stewart and the second of Guy Gardner in a cameo. 9.8s are plentiful of this one, but ours does feature a Suscha News Pedigree. The Suscha News pedigree offers a detailed insight into the mind of a collector during the '60s and '70s, chronicled by the original owner himself when his collection was sold to Metropolis in 2010. Born in 1949, he grew up in Wisconsin with a casual interest in comics until a friend introduced him to superheroes in 1963. His meticulous nature ultimately led him to strike a deal with his local distributor in the early '70s, named Suscha News, who allowed him to cherry pick his comics at half price. The deal ended in 1976, and his collecting soon after. The collection's most famous attribute are multiple copies of late '60s and '70s issues in pristine condition; the books are void of any identifying marks.
We acquired the book from the September 29, 2013 ComicConnect auction.
