It always amazes me that the colors on the book can be so vibrant and that structurally the book is solid, but the pages can be so brown. I wonder in what conditions the book was stored over the years.

This is a pretty tough issue of ST to find in grade.

What a fantastic comic!

[Tatterdamillion]

Sweet. I have been trying to find a nice copy of this for a long time and they just never come up. It really should not be as hard as it is im my opinion.

Never seen that before. Leave it to Maneely to knock out such an awesome cover!

I have always found that Strange Tales # 89 (I found one in mid grade ~ 6), Tales of Suspense #14 and Tales of Suspense #20.

 

Has anyone else found these hard to find and very hard in Mid to high grade?

Nice !!

[HouseofComics.Com]

So sad to think that you could have something as awesome as this and then the title goes to hell just four issues later.

From the Strange Tales 40 (mermaid cover) that I posted earlier, here is an interesting Everett story for all you "canine" lovers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Truly, man's best friend!!!

Cheetah, that TOS #10 is down right obscene. An almost impossible book in high grade.

I don't know that ST 89 is actually harder than the issues around it but I am certain that it is much in demand and usually takes less time to sell. It's a wonderful book!

[adamstrange]

Thanks RS for posting the interior story scans. That's another little gem from Everett.

 

I don't think that this is all that common.

I've got a few more. They are pretty much old news to the folks on the pre-hero thread but they really are nice copies. This one is my favorite of the bunch.
