Very nice.

 

This might be the first time I actually have all of the issues you have posted.

 

Issue #79 was in the box of my "stuff", that spent a decade in the attic of my parents home.

 

[Hepcat]

You're lucky that #79 is still so white! Attics are brutal on comics.

Yes, the comics had to endure some temperature extremes, but they were out of the light at least.

This is a fairly hard issue to find. Kirby cover. Bethlehem copy

[Inaflash]

That's the nicest copy of that book that I have seen. Beautiful.

Agreed!!! Gorgeous!

Thanks guys. Almost had it slabbed, but I just enjoy the feel of holding it and the "off the press" smell of the fresh pages.

[Hepcat]

The thought of getting it slabbed would therefore not have even crossed my mind for that and other reasons.

Sweet copy of number 13.

 

I only have one of the issues where there is art by Kirby in this title. A check of the OPG shows #13 was the only cover he did for the series.

These did not come as clearly as I would like, sorry.

Be a beautiful run were it not for that plastic infestation.

It's not a problem, I have at least 1 or 2 other undercopies of each issue unslabbed. So, there's plenty of reading enjoyment!!

Northland copy

Beautiful copies. Is #81 a file copy or a pedigree? It does not appear to even have the tiniest of spine ticks, rounded corners, and the colors are brilliant.

 

The other two are pretty terrific also. (thumbs u

[Hepcat]

The #81 is the Northland copy. I bought it over ten years ago from Motor City Comics.

 

[frozentundraguy]

I may have to have my eyes checked as I missed "Northland" above that issue while scrolling down.

 

I can't help but wonder why the alien would have a Chinese dragon on the back of his shirt.
