SET DETAILS
Owner's Description
Sub-Mariner battles Iron Man in this continuation of a saga started in TOS #80. Our WP 9.6 comes from the Pacific Coast Collection, which is generally considered to be the greatest Silver Age collection to ever surface. It was brought to market by Robert Roter after he discovered portions of it for sale on eBay in 1999. The books were marketed through PCE over the next several years and contained over 7,000 comics and magazines that included Marvel, DC, and Gold Key among others, covering a time span between 1961 and 1977. Many of the highest graded Marvel and DC issues from the early '60s hail from this collection with exceptional page quality. The books do not exhibit any distinguishing markings.
Our book is tied for second highest graded trailing two 9.8s. We acquired it from the June 2012 Pedigree Comics auction.
2024 Update: There are now three 9.8s topping the census.
