Sqeggs Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Until now, the best copy I ever had for this one was a low grade missing pages..... out of the best story of course. It has one of my favorite Xela covers and one of my favorite of the small batch of Black Terror stories that were done by the Robinson/ Meskin team. Jerry Robinson was one of Steve Ditko's instructors around the time these were coming out and the influence on his style is obvious. I'm pretty happy to get this one, but it didn't come cheap..... it was a Heritage Sunday win, and if I outbid a boardie, I'm sorry..... but I've been looking for years...... I remember when Metro had the Mile High on their site..... 3K I think it was..... man I bet that was sweet. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) I'll hazard a guess the Cheetah ended up with that one. I think your's is a great copy. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjum12 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I always hoped Jeff ended up with it...... I've only owned two Mile High's in my life..... but they're worthy of the hype. GOD BLESS.... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
october Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 That copy looks nice and white! Sweet pickup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjum12 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 The scan's a little amped up, but it's still above average..... I think they had it at 6.0 or 6.5, with most of the problems BC and inside (creasing, mainly.....and not much) ...... I couldn't have asked for a more suitable copy..... and their raw grading has always been pretty decent IMHO........ GOD BLESS.... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutie Fan Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Thanks to a few cool boardies: I wonder what "DQ35" on the right side of the label means? I was wondering the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldust40 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 3 books that are hard enough to find, let alone in such nice shape. Never see the Phantom Stranger 2 in high grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
