So, you would think that the 3-part Iron Man vs. Subby battle story (that began in TOS 79 and continued in TOS 80) would naturally conclude in TOS 81, right? Wrong! :makepoint:

 

It concludes in Tales to Astonish #82. I happen to have a TTA #82 somewhere in my "to be sold sometime" boxes. Let me go dig that baby out and put it in this thread, so that we can maintain storyline continuity. :insane:

Forget my offer via PM, I"ll just take it. I would be mad at myself if I let this go over the weekend in order to save a few bucks and somebody else snagged it. This book looks great.

I personally cracked this book out of an 8.5 slab and put it in a mylar - I'll go along with the 8.5 grade. One interesting thing...the book was not produced with a lower staple - there are no lower staple holes anywhere, etc. This wasn't noted on the CGC label, and apparently doesn't affect the grade (coincidentally, there was a recent discussion about this phenomenon HERE )

 

Tales to Astonish #82, VF+ 8.5, $50 SOLD to spideyfan68

 

3rd part of the three-part Iron Man vs. Subby battle from TOS 79 & 80
