SET DETAILS
Owner's Description
In Issue #74, when the entire city is struck blind, Daredevil begins trying to learn the truth behind the strange phenomenon. With the help of a group of people who were blind prior to the incident, Daredevil stops a group of thugs who have drugged the water supply to cause the city to go blind to loot the city at their leisure. DD and his blind friends beat the thugs into submission, the drug wears off, and everyone blinded by it has their vision restored.
Our 9.8 comes from the John Fantucchio Collection and is tied for highest graded. Fantucchio was a well-known artist in '60s fandom, drawing covers for RBCC and the Comic Buyers Guide (including the #1 cover), and even worked as an illustrator for the CIA from 1963 to 1988. During this time he amassed full runs of Marvel, DC, Gold Key, Charlton, ACG and Dell, among others, keeping them locked away and untouched, which resulted in uniformly high grades and near perfect cover inks. After his passing in 2016, the family auctioned the collection through Comiclink. Even though the books have no distinctive markings, many were CGC graded.
We acquired the book from the February 2018 CL Auction.
