I had the privilege of seeing this book in person at SDCC, and it was simply stunning.

Number 4 often gets overlooked for other early Mystery Men issues (classics in their own right), but I think it's great.

True. What was I thinking?

Another raw pic wiped out by Photobucket, but that's OK because I finally got this one slabbed.

No way around it Steve.  That book is... Fantastic!

Thanks to the Berk auction, I was able to complete my run of the first issue of each of Fox's 5 flagship titles.  The Fantastic is the Denver copy.  The Wonder is an unrestored non-pedigree.

That is an outstanding group of funnybooks right there.

+1

All of the first issues of Fox's Top 5 flagship titles and almost all pedigree copies to boot. 

It's tantamount to having the royal flush for Fox comic book collectors.

Thanks.  And it only took 26 years to complete the set.

I understand your point, but if I include Blue Beetle, then I arguably would need to also include The Flame 1, Green Mask 1, Rex Dexter 1, U.S. Jones 1 . . . etc.  I don't have those.
