Each and every Lee/Kirby (and Sinnott) FF copy is beautiful by definition.
Besides, at the time I paid a lot less than what you’d have to pay for your sets right now – you both have sweet #46s, a lot better than mine.
Thanks everyone! – it was a big purchase for me at the time, I though about it two days and then said to myself that was too beautiful and a unique opportunity. We were in 1990, no Internet, never seen an original page before and it was in Lucca, where a US dealer brought them.
I discovered later on that he was selling also on Kirby’s behalf, so it might be that I purchased it indirectly from him. And yes, I loved Blastaar too… my favorite period, the only missing is Sue, but someone told me she’s there, just invisible.
