Lot 22: Amazing Spider-Man 68

Stucturally FVF, but foxing and stain bring it down to VG.

Stan and Romita pit Peter against racism, campus upheaval and as if that weren’t enough, Kingpin!

$20

Lot 21: Doom Patrol 101

Good robot! Evil Robot! Fun story so beloved by “BC”, he tagged it.  VG $10

Lot 20: Strange Adventures 210 SOLD

Nice early Neal Adams Deadman. Flat, no tears, nice gloss. Some interior tanning and general wear make it F-. $20

Lot 19: Iron Man 6 SOLD

Apologies, photos didn’t come out well, better than it looks here.  Nice VG copy with sub crease and some tanning (though not quite as tanned as it looks in the pics). Yours for $10.

Lot 18: Fantastic Four 64 SOLD

Absolutely gorgeous VF+ copy.  Perfectly flat, almost no color breaking, incredible interior.  This is one of the few books in this thread that is not from my original collection (it came in a recently purchased lot along with FF 65-67).

As such, maybe it was pressed?  No idea as I’m unfamiliar with pressing yet, beyond the debates I’ve seen on the boards.  In the 80s, if you wanted to flatten a book, you put it under a bunch of encyclopedias. 

Regardless, it’s a super pretty copy.  Yours for $40.

Lot 17: Captain Marvel 3

VG+ Structurally in great shape, but cover lacks gloss and other surface defects bring it down. No tears.  $10

Lot 16: Strange Tales 108 SOLD

Looks VG, call it GVG.  Significant Marvel chipping to front cover only; book lays flat, and interior is gorgeous, with OW pages. 

Awesome Stan FF story about a magic painter whose images spring alive and confound our heroes.  All rendered by the King in glorious color. $30

Anyone want some leftover Kung Pao?

Aaaaaand it's time to break for some Szechuan.  Back after dinner.
