Benjy’s still extra rocky, so I’ll guess he’s on board with it.

there's even MORE of rocky ben there; so much more art on the left.

Good eye Billy Boy! That's part of the reason I dig those La Prensa copies!   Look at Subby on THIS one Park!!! Sub-Marinero!!!

Thanks! I know some people think I'm nuts buying these, but I really dig them and appreciate when someone else does too!!!

I do genuinely appreciate the chance to see the extra Kirby artwork.

You Sir are always a positive force in all things Kirby related!!! Now if only we could get you to roll your eyeballs over this Ditko fellas artwork, THAT would be a great day! . . .

I am a big admirer of Ditko’s. He is, IMO, the only other artist who could do what The King did. 
I go so far as to use Ditko to define the Pre Hero Marvel books. If he has art in it, it’s PHM. If he doesn’t, it’s not.

I didn't know you had that distinction about the PHM books! I do so enjoy his inking Kirby's pencils!!!

WoW .... just WOW!!! It just doesn't get much better than this!!! Congratulations on an absolute stunner!!!      

[WernerVonDoom]

Secret Invasion #6 - kind of bummed they didn't save skrulls/super skrull for FF, at least they still have Doom/Silver Surfer.

[KirbyJack]

My first real Kirby FF.  

[KirbyJack]

BTW, really nice copy, WVD.
90 has always been a favorite, and it used to be really affordable. There were many, many years when I would have upgraded if I had come across a nicer one. I don’t think the book is common in 9.4 plus, as evidenced by my keeper.

I loved this storyline as a kid, and somehow picked up some pretty nice copies "second hand" in about 1974.  Someone took care of these before ultimately selling them to an LCS and I'm grateful.
