If you define a "Marvel File Copy" as a comic book you buy directly from Marvel and therefore never distributed in the usual way, then I have three of them I bought directly from Marvel in the mid 1960s. I wrote a brief article about it for my website The Leader's Chronicles seen at the link below. https://ditkofan.com/marvel-file-copies/

The Leader has posted his Reports on his last 3 visits to collectibles and comic book shows. As usual he awaits and appreciate your comments. https://ditkofan.com/Facebook/nostalgiacon2023/mainintropage.html

Thanks, I'll fix the typo.

I did buy Volume 1 only of the hardcover reprints by Darkhorse publishers several years ago. It reprinted the first 6 issues which means the Dell Four Color issues and first few issues of Turok in his own title. That book is still in the shrink-wrap until when and if I decide to return to Lost Valley.

I thought collectors of "Turok Son of Stone" might enjoy this brief article from my website about me collecting Turok comics in the 1960s and early 1970s. If anybody does read the article at the link below I would appreciate it very much if you could leave a brief comment in the comment section at the bottom of the page. https://ditkofan.com/turok-son-of-stone/

The Leader is grateful but thinks that Canada is to far to drive for a cup of coffee.

Let me know if you want to go next year.

Thanks for the kind words.

The Leader thought it was time to take all his far flung Memories, Articles and Expeditions and consolidate them into one handy location. So he created a new website to do that that can be seen at the link below which you can paste into your internet browser. Several of the webpage articles have a comment section at the bottom of the page and the Leader would welcome any comments. https://ditkofan.com
