I got this in my grubby little diggers yesterday. I still need 4 more to complete the entire run to present.

I understand a lot will scoff at this having all three edges trimmed, but as far as I'm concerned it makes a 63 year old book look great without losing any real content. All the key pieces of the cover are intact, and I couldn't be happier to be a part of the #1 club.

*Edit* If anyone knows the history of this book, I'd love to hear it. Slabbed in 2002...

Great eye appeal. Hard to argue against that. Congratulations!

What is the last Silver Age Fantastic Four?  105 (Dec 1970) or 104 (I'm pretty sure the last Lee/Kirby issue)?

Kirby's last full issue is #102, but Marvel published an "unfinished" Kirby story in #108; using some Buscema pages to try to make sense of it.

Although I say Kirby+FF=silver, the best answer is probably FF#93; the last 1960s book (by cover date). 1970s = bronze in real life: just don't think about it too much.

I like your answer and from here out if anyone asks me I'll tell them the same...

my choice is dated 12/69.  i will listen to "on the spinners" in 12/69.   i can't get on board a certain artist's work on a certain title being determinative.   but it's all just fun to kick around.
