Owner's Description
In Issue #50 The Lord of Time Attacks the 20th Century! On the way home to Gotham City after a tour of Viet Nam, solider Eddie Brent is coming home a hero. However, when he goes berserk and jumps off his train, his suspicious activity prompts Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson to investigate it as Batman and Robin. Tracking Brent down, they find that he has been armed with super-weapons, which easily over power the Dynamic Duo.
Seeking the aid of the JLA, Batman and Robin continue to track down Brent who is attempting to commit crimes. Being defeated at first, the JLA and Robin develop a device to deactivate the super weapons. When they use it, it also reveals the true foe: The Lord of Time, who had hypnotized Brent for his own diabolical ends. After the Lord of Time is defeated, the JLA joins Brent to traveling to Washington D.C. where Brent receives rewards from the President of the United States.
Our 9.8 comes from the Rocky Mountain Collection and is tied with six other copies for highest graded. The Rocky Mountain Collection was assigned to a large Marvel and DC Silver Age collection originally auctioned by Comiclink in 2008. The Spider-Man, Fantastic Four and X-men runs were first auctioned without pedigree, but due to high collector interest the decision was made by CGC to classify the collection as a pedigree. Subsequently those three runs were retroactively given the Rocky Mountain notation. Hailing from Colorado, the collection numbered around 5,000 books, initially stored in a basement in similar conditions to the Mile High collection. None of the books exhibit identifying marks, but are easily traceable back to Comiclink.
We acquired the book in the ComicConnect Auction.
