SET DETAILS
Owner's Description
Aquaman and Aqualad tangle with the Cosmic Gladiators in Issue #12. In "The Menace of the Land-Sea Beasts", a
Lab assistant named Kirk, uses the technology of his employer, Dr. Cyrus Beard to evolve lab animals into hideous creatures. Taking control of them, he stages several attacks on sailing vessels, looting the ships after the creatures destroy them. Aquaman arrives in time to stop Kirk and returns the animals back to normal.
Issue #12 also contains a full-page ad for Flash Annual #1 and is one of the toughest to find in high grade-it was one of the last three issues we acquired to complete this set. Our WP 9.6 came from the newly graded cache of Aquamans auctioned in June 2024 by Heritage. It is also the single highest graded copy in the census and replaced our WP 9.4, which was previously 1/2 highest graded. Obviously, we acquired it in the 6/22/2024 Heritage Auction. Of note, even though the book is single highest graded, it sold for less than half of most of the 9.8s in that auction. Obviously, while census is important, it does not overrule grade, at least not entirely.
