Owner's Description
Issue #75 features the first appearance of Dinah Laurel Lance, the Black Canary, in the JLA. The storyline itself is a retelling of recent events by Green Arrow and Black Canary and is thus an atypical JLA plot line.
Our WP 9.8 comes from the John Fantucchio Collection and is the single highest graded copy in the census with just two 9.6s. 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.
We originally acquired this book in a highly competitive CL auction on 9/23/2017-translation, we overpaid. We later traded this book to a friend and fellow collector in a very complicated book exchange. We finally reacquired the book in 2020 from the same collector/friend.*
