I don't think there is anything inherently more difficult in translating those properties to film than any other. Fox just didn't have the first clue on how to do it.

Marvel does. They made a talking raccoon and a tree into a success. FF, Surfer and Galactus are total layups in comparison. 

FF is a bad Image team book out of the 1990's.  Fire guy, retread Plastic Man, a big guy who smashes stuff, and a female love interest who turns invisible who get from point A to point B in a flying car.

Looking forward to seeing what Disney can do with these properties.  I mean Disney Fantastic Four cannot be worse than Fox Fant4stic can it?

FF has had 2 shots.  It just doesn't play well or translate that well to film. 

8.0 - 8.5, really nice book.

9.4 - 9.6 due to the corners and the crease where the book was opened when it was read.  Really nice book.  Good luck.

9.4, nice looking book!

DISNEY-FOX Deal APPROVED: The X-MEN & FF Are Coming Home

https://www.newsarama.com/41133-official-disney-fox-deal-done-the-x-men-ff-are-coming-home.html

 

In a meeting Friday morning, shareholders of 21st Century Fox and the Walt Disney Company approved Disney's $71.3 billion bid to tak eover a large portion of Fox's assets, including 20th Century Fox's movie and TV studio.

The U.S. Department of Justice has already approved the transaction.

In separate meetings, shareholders reportedly approved the transaction in sessions that lasted less than 15 minutes each. 

According to Variety, 21st Century Fox CFO John Nallen told shareholders the merger is expected to be completed in the first half of 2019. 

Here's how Disney described how the transaction would affect the Marvel Cinematic Universe when the proposed takeover was officially announced last year:

“The agreement also provides Disney with the opportunity to reunite the X-Men, Fantastic Four, and Deadpool with the Marvel family under one roof and create richer, more complex worlds of inter-related characters and stories that audiences have shown they love...”

That's a lot of debt.

I believe this is the first comic I ever owned (generic image, not my actual copy):

I remember thinking the cover was completely awesome.  I never collected the title, but would eventually gorge myself on Conan (and Groo!).

Why is she wearing a skull?  Was there a reason or backstory in the issue about it?

Wow, wonder what price the will be when the final hammer drops.

4.5 to 5.0.  Good luck.

The stain kills the grade.  5.0 - 5.5.  I'd be happy with that book.

As stated a 1.5.  Yes, I would slab it. 

9.8

3.5 - 4.0

I've never understood why Marvel didn't do a mini-series on Stick.  There is a rich back story that has never been told or could be told.

Are the commandos going commando?

these puzzles are funny   ... Frankenstein is strangling the Wolfman ... a couple helpless people are shivering with fright, there is a ball-and-chain, lit candle cobwebs and a skull in the room.. a still alive vitim is on the operating table   

Why is the ball and chain hanging over the candle?  That's a weird placement for it.

Looks an a lot like the one that ended on eBay on June 25th.  I don't think they are the same drawings though.  Really close sketch. Comparison, for you.

Hmmn... We're off topic here you really think that'll be a catalyst for an upswing? Not sure a title revival would be enough

They would only bring back the comic series if they planned on injecting the X-Men back into what the studio does.  You've got to believe the characters will be reintroduced into the MCU shortly after the merger is done.  At that point Logan comes back from the dead in a movie and IH 181/X-Men 94/Giant Size X-Men go back into hyperdrive pricing.

What blows my mind is that there is a CGC 4.0 on Comic Link with a current bid of $1700+.  Holy smokes.
