Owner's Description
May 2018 Comiclink auction win. This Fantucchio is tied with one other copy for HIGHEST GRADED on the CGC Census.
I had attempted to win a couple 9.4's and a 9.6 over the prior few years, but I was always outbid. That was lucky, as it turns out, as it saved me from winning a 9.4, then winning a 9.6 and selling that 9.4, then winning that 9.8 and selling the 9.6...and losing $700 in the process :)
This is a key issue in the series as it is the first appearance of Green Arrow in his new costume. Neal Adams did the cover and art for this book. This change in appearance was a ground-breaking development for the character as it turns out. Denny O'Neil took the character in a totally different direction based on the character's new look. In Justice League of America #75 (I used to own a VERY nice copy!!!), Oliver Queen starts going through a personal identity crisis. Ultimately, he ends up losing his fortune and shifting his priorities to fight for the underprivileged and against the corporate status quo.
All of this was a precursor for the much heralded Green Lantern #76 where the title would start to co-star Green Arrow for close to the next 50 issues, tackling the controversial topics of the early 70's.
