scburdet Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 (edited) I've got several more mainstream 1st appearances in the queue (most of which are in better condition than my square bound books 😌), but it's Friday so how about a character that I care about more than most people do instead? Why do I like Howard the Duck? No idea. Didn't see the movie back in the day (in retrospect, that might have helped...), only 1 random Marvel Team-Up book in my childhood collection, but here we are with an oddly complete early Howard & Man-Thing collection. Picked up all the Fears circa 2000, sadly unlike some of the Morbius issues, no Mark Jewelers here 😢 Only note from an up close visual inspection is that the dark spot near the 2 in 20¢ symbol appears to be a printing error/ink drip to my eye (not a stain or grunge). Seems like another of those books that has sales all over the map, even in similar grades. I'm pretty happy with this one.

grendelbo Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 I see it as a 7.5 with room to be squashed and scrubbed to an 8.0, maybe 8.5. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scburdet Posted December 15, 2022 Author Share Posted December 15, 2022 On 12/15/2022 at 11:34 AM, Mars76 said: 8.0 as is getting the full c&p treatment. Praying for no invisible stains. Got a shocker back on a Marvel Premiere 28 that looks 8-9, at worse 7.5, but apparently has a stain (that I can't ID), so all the way down to 6.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowGradeBronze Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 7.5 to my eye. Nice!!! I love HTD too and it's probably best to avoid that movie! scburdet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted July 11, 2023 Author Share Posted July 11, 2023 As a Howard the Duck fan (for some reason), I am very, very happy with this. All the Fear books came to me cheap including several Mark Jewelers. Just my luck this is just a plain old copy Galen130, Mars76 and grendelbo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
