AMAZING MAN  #8

Apparent FR ow

Slight trim (looks about 1/8") on three sides, piece glued back on top right corner, archival tape on spine inside and out with cover reattached - spine would be split with pieces missing without it. Three minor punch holes on left side of book. Removed from bound volume. 

Complete.

Bill Everett cover.

$450

This is interesting to me.

So, this book has a publication date of 11/30/39, which means it was likely out on the newsstands a couple months earlier, circa 9/1/39, the first official day of WWII.

I find this interesting because the cover image appears to depict WWI action, if I'm not mistaken. The irony of this issue coming out on the stands the month the SECOND "Great War" started is quite interesting to me. 

Somebody pick this up, pretty please. I really shouldn't be buying books right now.

Incredible book.

Thanks again, guys. I'll be back later tonight to cleanup the thread.

Your 1st official 2nd place! I feel like I should have saved an honorary trophy book of sorts for this occasion, but I'm fresh out.

The X-Men 57 (6.5) - $40 SOLD

Seven books left to post and then we are ...done. Almost can't believe it - been quite the fun little thread. 

Thanks to everybody for the sweet action, fun times, thread carping, pokes, jabs, knockouts, and back again.

I'll be back later this year with another thread - but not for a while. 

Until then, let's wrap this thread up and do a little crescendo into some heavy hitters, as promised.

The X-Men 173 (5.0) - FREEBIE to whomever claims next book in the thread. SOLD

Journey into Mystery 125 (4.5) - $25 SOLD

The Incredible Hulk 107 (6.0) - $15 SOLD

House of Secrets 119 (6.5) - $5 SOLD

House of Secrets 103 (5.5) - $75 SOLD

This book is so g-damn glossy - I couldn't quite capture it in the photos. I want to call it a 6.0, but will stay at 5.5.
