Owner's Description
Issue #58 is an 80-page Giant, which is extremely scarce in high grade. The book itself simply reprints the stories from JLA #1, #6 and #8.
Our 9.6 comes from Don & Maggie Thompson Collection. The Thompsons were responsible for several publications and writings during the '60s that helped bring together comic book fandom as we know it today. Already adults when Fantastic Four #1 was released in 1961, the Thompsons carefully stored away copies of most Marvel and DC comics throughout the '60s and '70s. Don passed away in 1994, and in 2013 Maggie decided to sell the collection through Heritage, resulting in nearly $1 million in sales, thanks to the pristine condition of their comics, which included an Avengers #1 and Tales of Suspense #39 in 9.4, a Journey into Mystery #83 in 9.2 and a Hulk #1 in 8.5.
When we acquired this book in the 8/3/2019 Heritage Auction, it was one of three 9.6s in the census with nine higher. Unfortunately, it has now been surpassed by a single 9.8, which we have never seen.
