It was off eBay which I rarely look at anymore - glad I checked this week! I now have FF 148-362 in 9.8. @FlyingDonut Fantastic run of comics (pun intended). It's such a great title.

The 147 is insanely hard in 9.8. WernerVonDoom and jimjum12 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, I'll probably never get a 147. ugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR SigS Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 This is only pg 2, and it looked like Sinnott was already tired of adding the individual shadows by the last panel. I doubt he would have just filled in the area with black like this for the classic Thing look, which required less shadow. Ventura must have been a joy.

Popular Post namisgr Posted June 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 2, 2022 (edited) My original copy. It always rankled me in seeing the grades of my books that CGC would assign a 9.6 to pristine comics that had small and very minor overhang bends to the top or bottom edges or corners that were natural to nearly all comics, like in the lower right corner tip of this example, but could be pressed out to often give a book an unnatural looking (to me) 'starched collar' appearance.

It's just ever so slightly tucked down at the tip of the corner. And there's a tiny downward bend to a < half inch section of the top edge, over the 'O' in comics.
