Good stuff ! In your opinion, which is the most difficult issue to find in a decent grade ? I always had trouble with #8.

You called it - that bright red cover on #8 is notorious for showing everything. The other covers have more background action compared to it which can hide minor imperfections.

 

Hmmm, I can't think of another PHM which has that much red on the cover....off to the GCD for me... hm

May be offtopic but i still want to know which is the first cover done by Steve Ditko and Jack Kirby?

 

Great question !

 

After reviewing every PHM issue in the GCD, it appears that the winner is :

 

Journey into Mystery 59, cover date of July 1960. This issue has cover pencil credits going to both Ditko and Kirby. In fact, that's the only one I saw that has that specific designation.

 

There are plenty of PHM books starting in June 1960 (Strange Tales 75 6/60) where Kirby is credited with cover pencils and Ditko did the inks. That continues until the conversion from PHM to the SA superheroes.

 

Hope this helps!
