This was the 2nd CGC-recognized pedigree Turok Son of Stone slab I've acquired to date.
Story description taken from www.psychosaurus.com:
"Turok and Andar fight off a hostile cave tribe in "The Outsiders". In order to learn their secrets of fire and bows and arrows, the tribe abducts Andar and threatens to throw him into a pit full of honkers. In "The Stone Builders", the lost Indians are captured and forced into slavery to build a stone monument. The condition of the other slaves makes it clear that they must either escape or die as slaves. "
Bethlehem pedigree description taken from comicpedigrees.com (where I'd also uploaded this image):
"In 1990, Joe Rainone was approached by a man at a convention who said he had a huge collection of comics for sell if he could come up with $30,000. Joe talked it over with his partner Phil Weiss, who where both initially apprehensive until the man had explained he was an attorney helping liquidate the estate of one Stanley Pachon in Bethlehem, PA. An appointment was scheduled.
The first meeting yielded 4000 comics for $11,000. Knowing there were many more comics to be bought, Joe and Phil were promised first shot. After a nail-biting month, the two were led to a hoard of 14,000 comics in Pachon's house (where the police outline of his body was still on the living room floor; Stanley had suffered a brain hemorrhage). For $20,000 more, the partners were now in full possession of what they would name the Bethlehem collection.
The size of the Bethlehem collection is matched only by the Edgar Church/Mile High Collection, but the Bethlehems started late (1950) and stretched well into the Silver Age, with multiple copies of many issues. The famous E.J. Kery Kodak-Film-Magazine-Shop stamp on many of their back covers happens to be one the most recognized pedigree marks of all. Even though 700 Bethlehems have been graded by CGC, it's only a fraction of what's still out there.
Bethlehems often do not get credit for the impact they made in the early 1990s. It was the the Bethlehems and White Mountains that eventually convinced collectors that a pedigree can contain Silver Age comics as well."
I love this series!
