I had a few of them--obscure Alan Moore UK work. There was one with work by Moore and Garth Ennis, called Tales of Midnight Kosovo Special (or something like that). I found that one by tracking down one of the writers and asking him for help. Bought it from him directly--very cheap.

 

Another copper rarity I thought I'd never see was Mad Dog #10, which is not just Alan Moore, but Captain Airstrip, an unofficial tie-in to the many Captain Britains in his Marvel UK work. That one, again, I found by researching who had published/contributed to it and emailing one of the guys--who I ended up doing a trade with to get it.

 

There have been others along the same lines. One I'm still hunting for is Myra #8, also with an Alan Moore story.

 

There's always another one to find!

Great issue written by Stan Lee.

 

I loved this comic as a kid and easily read it 1,000 times. Best HULK vs. THOR fight in comics. Almost the entire comic is a fight between them, and they beat the hell out of each other. lol

 

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 destruction and death 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.

 

One of the few issues written by Stan Lee in the 80's, this book is incredibly tough to find in CGC 9.8. There are 3 blue and 2 yellow on the census, and I have 1 of each. I have no idea who signed the other yellow label, so this might be the only CGC 9.8 SS by Stan Lee....

 

It's also my 1st book signed by Stan Lee:
