Tell me about it! It took quite a while to get a nice set of JIM from 50-59 together.
I will say that the thing I like best about the early days of the pre-hero books are the Ditko covers. Dont get me wrong, I love a Kirby cover, but after 1959, Ditko covers are almost non existent (except for Amazing Adult Fantasy).
I also wish there were more Heck covers as well. That TOS #1 posted earlier is just so dynamic. I always wondered why Heck didnt re-create some of those when these storied were reprinted in Creatures On the Loose, etc. I believe he was still at Marvel in the early seventies.
