Fantastic Four Collecting Thread!

Since it's not an "FF" issue, I'll just post this close-up. I've always liked the emotion on Ben's face. -

Crud, I don't have a pic of mine. It's raw and likely not particularly high grade. I'll have to check to see if I have a good cover wrap or not. It's weird how certain books can be notorious for that. -

I've only got one certified Bronze Age FF. I have quite a few raw copies, but nothing that I have pics of as yet. -

I upgraded to the 5.0 in the above post about a year ago. However I can't seem to allow myself to sell my under copy, as I've only had it back for maybe 3 years or so. Yeah, it's a former book of mine that I sold to a friend, who 20 years later (almost to the month) offered it back to me!!!! Upon seeing it, it brought me RIGHT BACK to the last time I'd seen it. I remembered the defects, a pen scribble on the back cover floored me, as I couldn't believe how vividly I remembered it!!! So yeah, not gonna sell the powerful little time machine book. I'll post a pic below of it ... it's low grade but beautiful to me!!!

It's the 27th today and in our PHM world, there's one book that has for decades stood alone, unique in its ability to qualify for both Pre-Hero Marvel AND Hero book ... and that book is Tales To Astonish #27!!! I've listened to debates about this book for decades: Some staunch collectors "DON'T COUNT IT" as a Hero book because he's not in costume!!! Although, as I recall, all of those in that camp DO count Fantastic Four numbers 1 & 2, even though the FF aren't in costume. Of course, the argument could be made that if Marvel had halted the run at say, issue #30, then issue #27 would NEVER be considered a Hero book. But ..... they didn't, so his Hero status was a bit more .... retroactive in nature. That's also happened to another issue in this title, but that's another story for another time. I have ALWAYS considered issue #27 as BOTH .... a Pre-Hero AND a Hero book. In fact, I've always thought it cool that it was the only book to have such a distinction!!! Some treat it as a very lesser book. Their loss as far as I'm concerned. I love the cover and due to the color scheme, it's a book that can be VERY difficult to find in high grade. So, it's the 27th ... let those #27s out and show 'em off today!!!

Spectacular copy! For whatever reason, I've never really "looked" at this issue with more than a passing glance before. It's quite cool -

Maybe because someone "quoted" the Billy BOY copy and not the ped? I'm not sure how popularity works on here ... -

Oh yeah, Kirby was SO creative! In about a year and a half, in the early 60s, his co-creations with Stan were more than most artists would do in their lifetime!!! There's a reason we call him the King! I still think he doesn't fully get the credit he deserves.

That's awesome!
