Whew! Back to respectability with my #76.

The story is a convoluted mess, but the art is first rate. This issue was one of the first Kirby FFs to which I had regular access, and I devoured it.

I hope someday to live in a world where I could trade these two books for one really nice one straight up.

Any love for a subscription copy?

 

[KirbyJack]

Someone loved it enough to subscribe; least I can do is love it back.

For someone who cared about how their books looked the subscription year was a bitter pill. FF 73-85 and all contemporaneous titles. Here’s a 67 from the year before.

Wow!  What a collection! That FF 3 shore looks familiar. Did you just buy it off CC?

Thank you!  And yes, that was the last upgrade to complete the run.  My 8.0 will soon be sent to Bob Storms.  

I just need to upgrade my #11 from 9.0 to 9.4, and I'll have finished all my early SA upgrades for FF!

This book is ridiculous in hand.

And a firm favourite book of mine, and my only old label copy.

Someone less stationary than me should post the sweet SS splash page inside FF 76.

I seem to be anchored to my couch.

  Absolutely incredible! Well done!!

I sold my entire childhood collection and was completely out of the hobby for a while. In the late 1980s I jumped back in by buying a $1 copy of FF 77.
