very nice book, indeed...

[JiveTurkeyMoFo]

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I've had multiple copies of this book over the years, but I've always had a need to sell or some other book on the horizon that I wanted to fund. I hope to hang onto this one for at least the foreseeable future.

Nice score. Would love to own a FF1...one day.

Same with me. I'm looking for a low grade FF 1 if anyone has one.

I have always considered it a greater book than AF #15. Spidey is just more popular now. FF #1 was always the "must have" book when I was a young Marvel collector.

Spidey has always been more popular--not sure there has ever been a time when that wasn't true. Maybe around the AF15 to Spidey 10 timeframe, but I'm not sure even then.

Yeah. ASM and FF were Marvels' two best sellers, but Spidey was always on top except for possibly very early on. In general, the 5 top selling books were ASM, FF, Thor, DD, and Hulk/Avengers (they seem to reverse position from year to year).

I would humbly suggest that the run of books from FF 45-78 or so was way superior to the contemporary Spidey tales of the time. Spidey reclaimed the Bronze Age though with the death of Gwen and Gobby, the 1st Punisher, et al, but in the later part of the SA, FF was the superior title. Stan could still write, Jack could still draw, storylines were Cosmic (Surfer, Him, etc)...it was magic, meanwhile, the webslinger was facing off against such memorable villains as the Kangaroo.
