    Milestone

    By WARREN STRICKLAND,

    400th issue added to Fantastic Four with all variants set.
    This is actually my first journal entry in the many years that I've been a society member. I felt excited about it and thought it was somewhat note worthy.
    Today I added my 400th issue (an images added in this journal entry) to my Fantastic Four set. It was issue #171, the 30 cent price variant, a very hard issue to find in the higher grades.
    Now the hard part begins, acquiring the remaining 388 issues to complete the set.
    Wish me luck!

    Who did writer France Herron and artist Jack Kirby bring to life in October 1941?
    My first journal post was three days ago and I've have been surprised by how much attention it has received. So in keeping with some of the replies, I thought I would share another side of myself.
    In addition to to being a comic book collector on and off for over 45 years, I've been an artist my whole life and a sculptor for the past 25 years. My primary focus these days is the human bust rendered in clay, with works that range from realistic portrait likeness's to fantasy characters.
    As this is the CGC Collectors Society I thought some of you would enjoy perhaps seeing one of the most recognizable Marvel Iconic Villains of all time!
    I've attached a picture of my version of the "The RED SKULL".
    He stands 19 inches high by almost 14 inches wide. He's fashioned after the likeness of Hugo Weaving as seen in "CAPTAIN AMERICA the FIRST AVENGER"
    Johann Schmidt the RED SKULL first appeared in Captain America #7 (October, 1941).
    For the last few years I've tried to alternate my sculpt's between what my wife would call real life and fantasy. Late last year a portrait of Pablo Picasso was completed.
    Currently I'm working on a life sized bust of "The MAN of STEEL" as he looks skyward.
    As he gets closer to completion I'll post an update & photo.

    The 599th and 600th issues.
    Major progress since the first MILESTONE. I just added the 599th & 600th issues to my "Fantastic Four with all variants set"
    Oddly enough they were the JC Penny Reprints of issues #66 & #67.
    Only 245 more issues to go.
    Can any one help with the following 4 issues in 9.8 grade;
    Fantastic Four #214
    Fantastic Four #227
    Fantastic Four #275
    Fantastic Four #298
    They have been very elusive!!!

    Fantastic Four 1/2 Wizard Publication

    By WARREN STRICKLAND,


    Warren Strickland
    I’m looking for some help in finding Fantastic Four 1/2 Wizard Publication.
    There are two versions:
    The regular edition — which is easily found on eBay. I’m positing a photo of my copy signed by Stan Lee..
    Then there is the Wizard Authentic version. According to the Society there is a Wizard Seal on the cover.
    ‘Personally in fifteen plus years of collecting (This Time) I’ve never seen one!
    Any help in finding one would be greatly appreciated.
