Owner's Description
Holy unexpected grades, Batman!
Published: 2/81
Tom DeFalco story
Steve Ditko art
Frank Miller & Terry Austin cover
1st appearance of Jack O' Lantern
(Jason Macendale). Last Issue.
Superman & Batman appearance on cover.
I purchased this "Near Mint" copy from Mile High comics almost five years ago. This is the rare, low print run last issue of the series. I bought it because I never owned a copy of it before and always wanted one for some reason.
Later on, after I got hot and heavy into CGC comics, I looked it over thoroughly and determined that it was probably a 9.4 or 9.6 at best. That is not bad for this particular issue.
Now that pressing is offered by CGC through CCS, I decided to have it pressed and just see what happened. I did not at all expect a grade higher than 9.6! So this was a very surprising result to me!!! Awesome!!
Being a Marvel comic, I don't know if DC actually gave permission for Marvel to put Superman and Batman in the distant background of the cover or not. It's one of those interesting little tidbits of info in comic lore!
