SET DETAILS
Owner's Description
Our 9.8 copy of the second appearance of Hawkman in his own book comes from the Twin Cities Collection. That collection was assembled by Gary Dahlberg, who spent his life carefully buying, reading and storing comic books away throughout the '60s and '70s, with aspirations to become a cartoonist one day. Sadly, he died in a fire in 2010, but to the astonishment of his family his collection was appraised at more than $1 million by Heritage, who auctioned the books in 2011. Consisting of mainly Marvel and DC, this accumulation has no identifying marks but yielded some of the highest grades of the early Marvel period with considerably high page quality. The collection ultimately brought over $2.4 million at auction. Usually the books are accompanied by a certificate of authentically from Heritage,
Our book is the single best copy ever certified by CGC. It replaced the Pacific Coast 9.6 in this set, which we bought with our Issue #1 from Metropolis Comics. We acquired the book from a friend and fellow collector in June 2023. .
