Owner's Description
Issue #79 features a battle between Hulk and Hercules. Our WP 9.6 comes from the Rocky Mountain Collection. The Rocky Mountain Collection was assigned to a large Marvel and DC Silver Age collection originally auctioned by Comiclink in 2008. The Spider-Man, Fantastic Four and X-men runs were first auctioned without pedigree, but due to high collector interest the decision was made by CGC to classify the collection as a pedigree. Subsequently those three runs were retroactively given the Rocky Mountain notation. Hailing from Colorado, the collection numbered around 5,000 books, initially stored in a basement in similar conditions to the Mile High collection. None of the books exhibit identifying marks, but are easily traceable back to Comiclink.
The book was also part of the famous Doug Schmell Collection. It is currently tied for second highest graded trailing a pair of 9.8s. We acquired it in the July 26, 2012 Heritage Auction of that collection.
