  1. it's a small piece out, not a chunk. G/VG (3.0)
  2. and the "big" heroes was a telling foreshadowing that they would win the war. What a way to build patriotism in the youth at that time.
  3. the 2 is rarely found with off white or better pages according to CGC. Of the All Selects, the 2 seems to suffer the most from the poorest interior wrap and edge issues. Great copy
  4. It would have been interesting to see Flanagan do the cover to Tec 18 (Flessel), and I do love the Flessel work on the 18 as is.
  5. I don't think I've ever seen a Flanagan signature on his work.
  6. Marvel 1 has the most fascinating comic book history as far as distribution and publishing goes thanks to Goodman and Jacquet. That's cool to me. Most people don't care about those sort of details. While Subby and Torch are characters that made it into the silver age and beyond, I consider FF1 to be the birth of the Marvel Universe as we know it today.
  7. Marvel 1 more important, Cap 1 more popular.
  8. still behind Marvel Comics #1 for me. First mention of Thor doesn't make Cap 1 anymore appealing or significant for me
  9. When Kirby was asked in an interview who is first created character was, he said Mercury. I’m sure Joe Simon helped to steer the young lad since this would be their first Timely together (Red Raven 1, August 1940).
  10. In the Hurricane story, yes I believe so. I checked all the early Mystics, Darings, and Marvel Mystery’s and couldn’t find anything. Weird Comics 1 (April, 1940 FOX) would have the first mention of Thor in any comic book I believe.
  11. Might be tough to contain Gotham Kid who has a Thor-like appearance
