KirbyJack Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 It's a cool cover, but the way the monster's side is drawn has always bugged me. The flat part on the left looks like it was added as an afterthought. Just me? That's an interesting observation...you can see how it could be either way... Damn...now you've got that in my head and it's bugging me now... sorry, i do that sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvel_runs Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Here's another recent pick-up. Unlike the #13 I posted last week, this one I bought slabbed. It has considerably more defects, but still grades out 8.0. The deep rich uniform reds on this one more than make up for the spine wear. I've seen so many copies of this issue where the red is more like a washed out orange, that when this one came up, I couldn't pass it up. The census shows that this is the only 8.0 with no 7.5s or 8.5s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysterio Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I am insanely jealous, the #8 is top on my want list (though I almost certainly couldn't have afforded that 8.0). Outstanding pickup! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtlasFan Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 That AAF #8 is just wonderful. As I am watching the Twilight Zone New Year's marathon, I am tempted to get out my AAF collection! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronty Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) Ah you beat me to it I was eyeing that copy also. How is the lower left corner? On the original scan it scared me away. On your scan it looks more minor . Good job; that will teach me to not pull the trigger . Congrats on a great book. The color is magnificent .

marvel_runs Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Thanks, it is more of a light surface color rub than an impacted corner. Ah you beat me to it I was eyeing that copy also.
