Journey into Mystery #101: Coverless. Guest appearance by The Avengers. Spine is rough. First wrap is split from the upper lhc down to ~ 2” below the top staple (from which it is detached); it is also detached at the front from the bottom staple, but secure at the back. Centerfold is present and an in-tact, but is detached from the bottom staple. There is a single small “bb” hole through every page of the book except the splash page, roughly one-third of the way down the page near the outer edge. Some text is partially obscured by this (less so in the Thor story), but is still readable in context. There is also light pencil writing at the bottom of page 3. Nothing missing from the interiors and no hidden defects. $12 NOW...$8 + shipping.

Tales of Suspense #46: Coverless. First Crimson Dynamo, and a very cool pre-hero style “fantasy” back-up story from Ditko as well. Spine roll. “46” written in blue colored pencil at the top of the splash page; blue ink squiggles at the bottom of the back page. 100% complete and readable with nothing missing from the interiors and no hidden defects. $20 + shipping.

Fantasy Masterpieces #1 and #2: Low grade copies. Fantastic pre-hero reprints (esp. the Kirby & Ditko stuff). I also Love the early Stan Lee “branding” in the text box at the bottom of the front cover…the celebrity face and voice of Mighty Marvel, then as now! Both covers are completely detached, and the cover for #1 is very rough. The centerfold is detached from the bottom staple in #1. Both books are 100% complete and readable with nothing missing from the interiors and no hidden defects. $12 NOW...$8 + shipping for the pair.

Fantastic Four #35 & #41: Stripped-logo returns copies. #35 has been repaired with masking tape along the interior spine. What remains of the cover for #41 is completely detached and very rough. Both books are 100% complete and readable with nothing missing from the interiors and no hidden defects. $8 + shipping for the pair. ON HOLD PENDING PAYMENT..
