Rejected at an 8.5 during pre-screening, so this lovely mid-high-grade copy gets to stay unslabbed for me to enjoy.  Thanks everyone!

Grader's notes were:

crease right bottom of front cover
spine stress lines

Ya buttttt look at dem Purps!

keep that one for sure 

7.5 now; 8.5 with a press. 
 

Unless you finally decide to list these things - in which case 4.0 at best if I’m paying

Sorry, I probably just sound like a sycophant at this point, but... just 

Well - now I know which cohort has been hoarding all the FF diamonds! You sure wouldn't expect to find the likes of these on Yancy Street...

For the same reason that, if you were speaking to him, you'd call Norrin Radd, "Surfer", or The Vision, "Vision". You wouldn't ever say; "Hey, The Hulk, come have some beans!"

Happily, they stopped referring to him as "Thing", and just went with "Ben".

Makes sense , but I think it even happened in the narration? I could be wrong.

We do have some great people here that can rekindle the joy.  

The stuff in the books is good for that too. 

Si!

Ok - tangent - any info on the backstory on why Ben is called “Thing” in first couple issues (or was it just the first issue only? I can’t recall) and subsequently “The Thing”.

I always thought “Thing” read so awkwardly in sentences - maybe that alone is the reason for the switch. 
 

PS - this thread is just pure gold to me -

for soooo many reasons. The books themselves are not the main reason.

you guys rock
