And when you are done with that book I would like to see if I can get my paws on it. Just my kind of grade, and by the time I get it, it will be busted out of slabbage jail.
I feel you for sure. This one deserves to feel the rapture of being unchained. she just has a haircut - that’s all. I’ve been with worse

Fantastic Four 72 CGC 9.2 WP > $790.0
This one might shock everyone, I have like (3) Marvels. And this is a good one.
No Neal.
There is some guy watching another guy, and that guy is cool. The watch guy is a bit stand-offish but hey, whatever.
…and the other two?
Agree with @Corvonie - very purrrdeee. -

Funny, I noticed that too! It's clear DOOM underwent a ton of evolution over the years. He's very PCH at the beginning, like a Lon Chaney character, which fits with Stan and Jack really trying to figure out how to transition from Sci-Fi/Horror to this new style of super hero.
My off-hand guess is his posture changed when he became a real super-villain
("Definition of super-villain: a killer who loves children. One who is well versed in destruction as well as buildin'." - MF DOOM)
and so his posture had to be more upright so you esteem him more. I'll have to go through my run and see if/when it changes.
Probably my favorite embellishment is the version of his origin where he is only slightly disfigured by the accident, but over-reacts to it so much he actually disfigures himself by having the monks fit him with the hot metal mask. It really adds a layer to his character for me that feels really modern to me. It's the kind of weird internal dysmorphia that drives incels and a lot of other people to aberrant behavior, people that see themselves as a monster and project that onto everyone else.
Yes - that issue where he disfigures himself! Forgot about that - great story as well. I forget what issue that is...you'll get to that in the Fantasticast early on though - they have some REALLY interesting things to say about it - similar to your comments actually.
And agree re the transition from PCH to FF is still happening in FF5.
Also agree re posture and "esteem".
Solid points Sir Corvonie.

Landed a big kahuna with the proceeds from a big sale! I'm in disbelief that it's mine. I think FF #4 is still my ultimate grail, but holey moley
Haven't actually read this thing in a while - congrats again man!!!
Seeing the images made me realize something I forgot: in the early (very early) issues, maybe only in FF5 and no further actually (?) Doom is portrayed like vulture - his body posture, the angles, the actual side-by-side to vulture splash -etc. What's "the deal" with that? I feel like that's an angle that was dropped early on that REALLY helped to add depth to the doom character - I loved those early versions. I wonder why it was dropped...

That's Connie who is a recurring character in Terry & the Pirates by Milton Canniff. Real name: George Webster Confucius. He was hired as a guide early on by Terry and Pat and followed on their adventures thereafter. Yes, Connie is a Chinese character.
You can see him on the cover to the first volume of the strips reprints -
copy!

Popular Comics 113 1945 WWII War Bond cover VF- $90
I'm curious to know if the character 2nd from the left a) has a name, b) was a regular character in this run, c) was of a particular race/nationality in the book...in short - this cover confuses me...

Ok new question, if I may…favorite single issue FF storyline from the original Jack and Stan run?
I’m torn between FF 24 (The Infant Terrible), FF8 (Puppet Master), and FF 21 (hate monger). But since I am forcing the issue, I will go with FF 24: The perfect blend of early Marvel superhero glory and remnants of quirky Strange Tales/TTA/TOS-type late 50s sci -fi humored storytelling from Stanley and Jacob.

Hmmmm, 20k
The bulk of it I'd spend on a nice FF 12 and the rest on 7, 8, and 10.
I think I could probably swing decent upgrades to all four with 20K.Niiiice - I like your style. I also LOVE your handle. Perfection.
Funny enough, I jusssssst picked up this FF12 from Joe - she’s not as high-grade as your wish list would require, but she presents plenty fine to this Preacher. Thanks again for a fair deal on a great book, Joe! @Math Teacher
