mysterio Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 TOS #4 is a great book - one of Kirby's better close-up aliens on the cover. Here is my copy! Nice! The chipping is unobtrusive and I am always a fan of nicely placed date stamps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICK STARR Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 TOS # 4 is notorious for Marvel chipping. Almost every copy that I have seen, whether at cons or Ebay, usually have some degree of chipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronty Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I figured I'd go old and bald(er) before seeing a nicer copy of this book actually available. Only three better copies on the census (all 9.0) and I'm sure they are closely guarded. Its always been my #1 prehero although since collecting these more seriously its starting to have competition from two or three other books as the top dawg in my eyes. Anyways. After paying what I would generally consider an offensive amount for an 8.5 of any prehero book, I am proud to present strange tales 89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, while I said I would work on Spideys I couldn't leave that TOS #22 there for that price. I hadn't planned on bidding on any pre-hero, but I saw that one with 10 minutes left and thought I would place a lowball. I can't say I'm completely in love with the copy, but it is an upgrade.

Bronty Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Thanks for the kind words Rich and Art. Yes Rich, its the clink/stink copy. And boy you are right, the longer I collect the more I am starting to feel like Strange Tales is the toughest of the four titles. I thought/assumed it would be JIM (which is #2 for sure) but I never see any nice ST books around really. You see a few of the last five or ten issues once in a while, but that's true of all the titles. I'm not having any luck finding ST from the early and mid parts of the PH run (67-92 or so) in the grades I'm generally looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
