SET DETAILS
Owner's Description
This issue introduces the Destroyer who appeared in the first Thor movie. It is the sole 9.8 in the census and naturally the single highest graded with 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. It was also a part of the Doug Schmell Collection, but we acquired it later in the 11/13/2017 CL auction. Together with Issue #116 and #117, it gives us three straight single highest graded books-and five in this set, four of which hail from four different pedigree collections, .
We acquired the book in the 11/29/2017 CL Auction.
