Owner's Description
Our WP 9.8 comes from the John Fantucchio Collection. John 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.
Our WP 9.8 is one of three highest graded and, as is characteristic of Fantucchios, the inks are dazzling. I also believe it[s the best of the three 9.8s, as we have owned two of them and I believe it is the only WP pedigree in existence. We acquired the book in the July 26, 2023 CL Auction.
