Tell you what, I'll take them off your hands for a slight fee. Really, it's no trouble at all. Seriously, looks like a great pick up!

It's the 1st comic to suggest the multiverse! It's not often that you can pin a transition of such magnitude on a single book ala Dective Comics #38 (first sidekick, which took the GA by storm). I’ve always felt that big as they are, both Flash 123 and Avengers 4 are still underrated keys as they both pull the Golden Age into the Silver Age. Both are central to their respective publishers’ development of the concept of continuity, the core of the serialized, illustrated fiction upon which this particular collecting hobby is originally built. To me, that’s the real significance of the returns of Cap and Jay Garrick. Pantodude and ThothAmon 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could be a whole ‘nother thread that could be argued either way but I just feel Cap’s revival was far more important/central to the young Marvel universe because Cap became the backbone of the title that showcased many of their solo heroes. Subby’s growth across the titles was more gradual, though he was an important supporting cast member for the early FF as the first Marvel anti-hero, the grandpappy in a sense of Wolverine, Punisher etc. Avengers #3, DD #7, X-Men #6 … he’s harassing everybody! But at the simplest level, both books certainly brought back a Timely hero into Marvel continuity with an explanation for where they’d been. Functionally, it’s an equal contributor of the concept of pulling the Golden Age characters forward into the newly created mythos.

I just did a trade for a FF1 which involved parting with an Avengers 1 and FF 2 - 4. The Avengers 1, I know I'll replace at some point and hopefully upgrade. But the FFs I really didn't feel good about letting go of. I have a feeling I'll always prioritize other books over them. I've traded away other keys that I miss. But those early FFs have gotten pricey enough that replacing them will require some degree of planning.

The one you have would be the hardest to replace so I think you made the right move! KCOComics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
