I was about the same age then...thanks for the memories !

Get those high grade first issues while they are still affordable ! This book is cheap compared to many Bronze titles and its Marvels greatest character

For crying out loud, Marvel! They can't even get this right if it's true! Uhm...isn't that exactly what he does the the SSR director? How is that 'getting it wrong'? He's not Russian. Is Dr. Faustus so sacrosanct that they can't tinker with the character? I guess I just don't care if they've made him Russian to make the story more in-line with the '50s Cold War theme. Man, comic nerds are hard to please. I can sometimes understand the uproar when they change races, but it's taboo to change which type of Eastern European a character is? Isn't that taking it a bit far? +1 Sorry, I just remember every Faustus appearance had a Nazi undertone to it. You know, swastikas and all. Guess I'm just tired of too much change in comic related shtuff these days. Found this info online here http://www.writeups.org/fiche.php?id=773 Johann Fennhoff was born in the late 1920s or early 1930s in Vienna, the only child of two highly educated and successful parents. During the Black Friday of March, 1938, when the Nazis rolled into Austria, the Fennhoffs used their wealth and connections to arrange for a swift exile to London. Their exact motivation was not revealed, though likely possibilities include that they were Jews, and/or Communists, and/or Austrian nationalists who had publicly opposed the pro-Reich activists. Fennhoff’s psychiatric issues around his mother nagging him for being a nogoodnik would be an old self-mocking Jewish joke and may have been meant by the writer as an hint in that direction The Fennhoffs’s desperate escape left them without their fortune, their reputation or their social network, in a London that would start experiencing the devastation of the Blitz a few years later. Herr Fennhoff died in the early 1940s, a broken man. Not faring much better, Frau Fennhoff aged badly and invested all the money she earned into the education of her son, hoping that his becoming successful would avenge the wrecking of their lives by the Nazis. Although nothing was ever sufficient to please his mother, Johann became an eminent doctor in psychiatry, devouring the literature and making it to the top of his profession ; Anna died during that time. While he was a very successful psychiatrist and researcher, eventually emigrating to the US, Johann Fennhoff was occasionally haunted by visions of is mother. This hallucination urged him to become always more important and successful - even feared. Driven by these schizophrenic episodes, Fennhoff started calling himself Doctor Faustus after the classic play. As Faustus, he wished to prove his mastery of the human mind by plotting to break the psyche of the most remarkable and resolute persons he could locate — such as super-heroes. anyway.. his parents were against the Nazi bs... he conjured the images feared by subjects like Cap... and of course those images he fears the most are his generations biggest fear( Nazi's)

Shame it will be over soon, has been a GREAT show so far !

My second transaction with Steve.... ......................... EXCELLENT!! Would gladly buy from again! http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=7243925#Post7243925

Don't find many high grade (CGC) copies of this for sale yet Astonishing tales # 6 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Astonishing-tales-6-cgc-9-2-white-pages-1st-Barbara-Morse-Mockingbird-Shield-/251696179423?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item3a9a42e8df

That's a butt ugly poster. Why not a Third Eye poster after buying and ruining all those comics. that Spidey poster would be sort of rare/scarce? I have NEVER seen one for sale. Why would Marvel sell a poster made in the UK? It is impossibly rare. I have never seen one for sale in 10 years. And I agree, it is awfully ugly. Yeah I had never seen it before. Is that the Electric Company Spidey? Not sure when he was on the show but know it was at least the mid 70s, maybe earlier. is a drawing in color of the Spiderman costume used in the TV show from 1977. The Electric Co. costume had different eyes. Thanks - I thought of the TV show but knew it was later. Still ugly and I would still love to have one in my collection the infamous poster for sale on Ebay.... $795.00 starting bid http://www.ebay.com/itm/1973-MARVEL-VALUE-STAMP-BOOK-PROMOTIONAL-SPIDERMAN-POSTER-Marvelmania-FOOM-/181603139219?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a4863fe93

I can see why they gave that one away, that's not what I remember though, what came with series 2?

Didn't Marvel send a John Buscema poster with the order of one of the stamp books? Anyone have a picture of what the poster looks like?

I enjoy the show , it was a treat to now have BOBBI Morse as a new team member !

I bought two books from Bio-Rupp. one slabbed and one raw..no complaints here!! VERY pleased! buy with confidence !
