I mostly missed the Valiant reboot of these characters growing up due to limited comic buying resources. I've been enamored by these old Gold Key painted covers for a while though. It's been hard to find copies that aren't way overpriced and/or (usually and) beat to hell. I recently got this for what felt like a not insane price. The biggest issue is a stacking bend/spine roll. I'm hopeful that can be improved with a press, but tried to highlight the degree of bend prior to pressing with the side-on shot. Sorry to break my streak of Marvel-only posts since sharing that fake Man-Thing book from DC a while back :shiftyeyes:

Love this book.  I have a 7.0 now that looks like a 9.0...but it has a deatched centerfold.  I didn't notice the notation because it was Blue Label until after I got it.  That's my bad and I'll never make that mistake again.  It's presents beautiful though and was a decent price.
