- Vortex 2: 1st cameo appearance of Mister X. A nightmare to track down without heavy spine stress lines. That cover was just made to be in a CGC case.

 

 

I've never even seen a copy IRL, much less a HG one.

All the Vortex series has great covers.

Tell me about it. I just sent someone a gift of Vortex 1-10. I forgot how pretty #6 is.

Is there a copper nightmare thread? Hard times.. Gotta sell it.

Skrews up my master plan of getting a NM 98 9.9.

The book I've been chasing for a LONG time is Thor #385 in CGC 9.8. There are only 3 on the census. I've been looking for a 9.8 candidate in the wild for years.

 

The entire issue is one long Hulk vs. Thor fight.

 

I loved this comic as a kid and easily read it 1,000 times. Best HULK vs. THOR fight in comics. The story also has a lesson about how pride can cause us to do the wrong thing in life. Hulk kicks the out of Thor, and Thor keeps coming back for more because he has too much pride to give up or surrender. In the end Hulk is the one who stops fighting claiming victory, and Thor is forced to look at all the death and destruction around him they caused because he kept fighting. If he would have simply said, yeah Hulk you're stronger it would have been avoided. The title of the story was "Be Thou God or Monster!" referring to Thor's revelation at the end. Great issue written by Stan Lee himself.

 

Well, a CGC 9.8 popped up on eBay last week. Thor #385 CGC 9.8 on eBay

 

I contacted the seller immediately and the rest as they say is history.

Skrewing that plan up even more was not alerting the person who would have easily paid more than anyone else.

It will make it worse if he comes back with, "You collect Hulk comics?"

 

[B-Smooth]

He collects hulk comics??? WTF. My oversight is my downfall.

+1

[B-Smooth]

This one took over my 377 as my favorite. Now if I can just get my hands on a NM 98 9.9.

[Bosco685]

WOW!

 

I'd be okay with a 9.8, though I know your coveted 9.9 or better is always the goal.
