Owner's Description
Even Doug Schmell never had a 9.8 of Issue #117. He couldn’t, of course, since this beauty was not sent to CGC until after he sold his collection. It hails from The John Fantucchio Collection and is single highest graded as of this writing. 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 6/7/2018 CL auction.
