Dick Pontoon Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Back to beaters. #116 dogged me a bit. I was only coming across low grade copies or high grade copies I didn't want to drop the coin on. I settled on this for a place holder but have never gotten around to upgrading. I let a few go by on the Boards that would have suited me, but I didn't have the interest when they popped up. namisgr, batmiesta, WernerVonDoom and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

namisgr Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 (edited) Reprints the Galactus story from FF50. It was a great way for a Bronze Age kid to get exposure to one of the best Silver Age story arcs and also King Kirby's brilliance. One of the outcomes from a book having the staples on the front cover rather than directly on the spine is the tendency to develop a vertical reader's crease just to their right.

Dick Pontoon Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Another rough copy with no upgrade. I always had trouble finding the right copy so I settled for this cheapie as a placeholder. Like my #116, I've passed up some decent copies on the Boards because I wanted to spend my money on other books.

namisgr Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 (edited) Current copy: The quest for upgrades had me owning several copies over the decades. They show how much a color palette can change over the course of a printing run - look at how much more purple and brown the Rocky Mountain copy has than the other two: Edited May 8, 2023 by namisgr ChrispyC66, Dick Pontoon, WernerVonDoom and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
