The story goes like this...
A few years ago just as a new year was about to begin, I was browsing the OfferUp app for my area and lo and behold this beauty was newly listed. I couldn't believe it. I quickly made arrangements to meet up with Steve, the seller. When we met he explained that he assisted Nathan Massengill, the inker, at a local con some years ago and at the end of the weekend was given this page as a "Thank You" for all his help. Nathan wrote at the bottom "To Steve!! An Original!! NAM" This splash went on to become the cover for the original City of Crime trade paperback published by DC. I bought this for an extremely reasonable price and I'll leave it at that. This is a deal I was lucky to be a part of and will probably never have another like it again. Many thanks to Steve who was willing to part with the page and let me be the new caretaker. Props to Nathan and his act of generosity all those years ago.
