I want to thank Blackmask for allowing me to be the next person to possess this beautiful copy. I've always thought that was a very atypical cover coming from Marvel. A great one, but not one I would expect from them. And yes, it does come from a story in the issue. jimjum12, oakman29 and Randall Dowling 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Marvel couldnt deny the influence, and had to conform or lose sales. bounty_coder, Randall Dowling, OtherEric and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artifiction Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 (edited) Oakman, I see some Eerie Publications in it, too! Great looking copy. As soon as I saw that you got it from Blackmask, I knew it would be a nice one. Edited February 25, 2022 by Artifiction oakman29 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post OtherEric Posted February 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 25, 2022 (edited) Some days, you can't skip a book, even if you've already got a copy. I don't foresee a problem making more than my $12.99 back on this one: Edited February 25, 2022 by OtherEric typo jimjum12, Randall Dowling, Stevemmg and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, take the rough with the smooth. In my opinion it was a 9.6 or even a 9.8 candidate to go with my USA Star Wars 1 9.8 Its a beautiful looking comic and I remember buying a copy years ago from the newsagent where I used to do a paper round. So the nostalgia is great, with this one! oakman29 and Artifiction 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
