And umm,lets throw in FF 46 because black bolt is so cool.
I think Black Bolt is cool also, and I like the cover to FF #46--I even have it printed on a t-shirt. However, I find FF #82 to be a much better cover and a much better depiction of Black Bolt. His face and body pose looks out-of-proportion and weird on the cover of FF #46...pictures of both covers are below for reference. #82 also has a much more prounounced sense of scale, action, and perspective. Kirby seemed to really improve his art style on the Fantastic Four somewhere around #70 or so.

FF#82 is an awesome cover. Still kicking myself for passing on a copy a few months ago at Tyson's. Structurally, probably a VF. But the cover was snow white! Haven't seen a nicer copy since.

 

That's my biggest problem in tracking down a sweet copy of FF#60. Can't find a copy that isn't tanned. 893frustrated.gif

The first OS Guide I ever bought (Superman 50th Anniversary) had a pic of this book in the color section. Showcase #34 was the coolest looking cover I had seen. It was always a book that I wanted, but couldn't afford it in my younger years. I think it was guiding at around $200 at that time. I dropped out of the hobby right when I could start affording "higher dollar" (over $100 grin.gif) back issues. Then SA books went nuts, and I still can't afford a nice copy of this book. confused-smiley-013.gif
