  1. All good; didn’t think you were. It is far from high grade of course! Grabbed it in Dale’s thread as a GVG which seems about right. That’s when it struck me — a 1962 Marvel hero 1st issue, complete, for a hundred bucks. What an outlier head scratcher. All four sides of the issue number box is simply a rare bonus!
  2. Any copy with all four sides of the issue number box is more than just a reading copy!
  3. Anybody else fondly remember debating this with friends when it came out in ASM annual #15? This the first time Marvel openly tiered their characters’ strength levels; “who is stronger?” debates were pretty prevalent if you grew up on silver or bronze Marvel.
  4. Yeah, so some kid drew a goatee on him. You go find a Mexican edition (same publication date). One 3.0 on the census.
  5. Catch-up time… Spectre Archives was a Christmas present, ST 101 because what other 1962 Marvel hero 1st issue can be had for $100 complete?; CSS slab can’t be shown but it’s from the personal collection of Jerry Garcia (thank you @Robot Man and @KirbyJack for your consultation during the process), Mexican edition of Rawhide Kid #17; a couple high grade 1964 Marvels, French Canadian editions of Charles Schulz’s first two published works; FWJ #2 completes an awesome, oddball Bronze Age run of an Archie knock-off by the Golden Legacy comics publisher, All Star 27 wounded warrior cover that has been homaged by the late Darwyn Cooke, and Dan DeCarlo OA and an OAAW #83, which should both need no explanation.
  6. You left out Daffy Duck. The guy is basically a dash of Looney Tunes in the Marvel Universe, breaking the fourth wall etc.
