The grades are in and the grades are phenomenal! According to Pedigree Comics’ CEO Doug Schmell, his company just got back the remaining issues of the Batman and Green Lantern runs from CGC with spectacular results. The Batman group consists of 25 books, all in 9.0 and higher, most in 9.6 and higher, including the complete Pacific Coast run of Batman #152 through 171. The Green Lantern group consists of 11 issues between Green Lantern #3 and #19, all but two in 9.4 and higher, with a few Pacific Coast issues.
