My FF26 - only an 8.5-9.0 but a nice bright white cover. There are a lot of mustard tinged copies out there. Fantastic Four 44 also seems to be difficult to find with a pristine white cover.

Picked this up a week ago - taken me many years to get a decent copy of this issue.

Hi Jimbo Nice to see this book go to a good home. If you are interested, I bought this book from Harley Yee 15 years ago in London (he used to come over for a couple of UK shows each year - I think it was Storey's Gate - the UK guys will remember). So I guess it has found its way home. The page quality is excellent - the book has been sat in archival Mylar D all that time. Regards Alan (Glasgap, UK)

And here is mine. Alan

Best drawing of the Thing? The Thing has always been my favourite comic book character but, since I started reading the FF at around issue 40, I could never get used to the Thing artwork in the first few FF issues. I think The Thing artwork on the cover of issue 91 is superb. Alan

When I trawled round the UK comic marts in the 90s, I never saw a high grade copy of Fantastic Four 13 in person. Great looking copies. Here is a FF27 I picked up pre-CGC. A small indent at the top of the back cover but the pages are white and the cover colors are nice. Alan (UK)

This is the only FF book I have removed from a slab - I collected the rest before CGC. I bought this book (very old label, 8.5, OW/W) to upgrade my existing raw copy at that time. The latter was subsequently CGCed at 9.2 and sold. For my eyes, I kept the better book.

The cover of FF 26 never seems to feature in any of the best cover lists but is my second favourite behind FF 3. I first saw a high grade FF 26 at the Nottingham (UK) show a long time ago - the detail with the little figures really caught my eye. It took me many years to get a copy with a white cover (without a mustard tinge).

The stresses are mainly on the front cover.

Have you missed www.silveracrecomics.com? I have only bought a few books off Darryl in the last 10 years but generally the grading has been very good. He gets some really high quality CGC stuff now and again (for example, I note he has the CGC MT 9.9 Amazing Spiderman 19 bought off Heritage in February for $20,700 up on ebay ). Alan (UK)
