Your Creatures copy is a stellar example of a very difficult to find high grade black-border picture frame.

Currently, only seven 9.8 copies populate the census. And four out of the seven hail from the Suscha News collection.

My copy is below. It's one of the Suscha's... captured in 2016 after hunting it from the first day it came to market in 2011.

And speaking of Creatures on the Loose!

Only three copies of issue #16 have cracked 9.8 in the census.

Difficult to find in high-grade?

Not for the original owner of the... yup, you guessed it. The Suscha News collection!

All three 9.8 copies are from the backroom of the magazine distributor's warehouse.

Here's my copy... followed by the other two killer copies for reference.

Gorgeous Suscha News copy!

From the data I've collected, it appears as though the original owner may have had an affinity for picture frames (or maybe he had a job during the period that provided extra income to buy multiple copies of every comic available!). Whatever the case, no less than three copies each of the 1972 run of Amazing Adventures were in the collection.

BTW... If you didn’t have it already, here's the image of the original label book when the collection premiered. (Oh, and welcome to the boards!)

Appreciate the info, and the welcome to the boards. Been on for a little while, need to post more. 

 

Thanks for the image when the collection premiered! It's a beautiful copy.

 

LOVE Suscha News Pedigree! I have multiple issues. The guy who curated this collection was meticulous. He lived in Wisconsin. He had a pallet deal with the local distributor and selected the best copies of each issue...some multiple copies of same issue if he thought it was a key.

 

Thanks Again!
