You’re right. It instantly ended in October of 1969. 

[KirbyJack]

Just joshin’, gents. I conceded this argument years ago.

i toldja he was astute--that's no typo, but his estimate of when the 12/69 issue was on the stands!!!

Of course you are! Because you’re an intelligent, open minded collector of exquisite taste. 

 I’m posting 108, too.

The market has cooled on this one.

I always was fond of this cover. It was one of the first comics I ever saw along with ASM 83, 84 in my cousin's stash way back in ~1987. This cover always stuck in my mind because I recall finding it so fascinating in that I couldn't figure out quite what was happening with Richards. I mean was he being tortured in some way by Thing...or rescued from falling or what . I was about 8 years old at the time mind you. So anyway as time passed and was able to eventually find a copy years later at the LCS it was one of the first comics I ever read. I was prohibited from even accessing his comics other than his "Cracked" and "Mad" magazines but I still managed to quickly flip through a few comics 

So sorry for the story but this issue carries memories I wanted to share. This isn't that old copy as he told me he had lost it during one of his moves so long ago when I inquired about it. Its just a reader I found on the Bay. Hope you enjoy the pages!

FF 47 is a great one. To me, there’s nothing better than going thru a reading copy of a favorite comic and drinking in every panel.

Please don't apologize for the story.  Speaking for myself, I enjoy a great story like yours WAY more than reading about rumors about what characters are going to be in the latest TV show/movie, or GPA moving averages, or what's heating up on ebay...
