Jeez, Straw...

Those are jaw-dropping! And you are 100% right about that #19. It's like buttah!

As in "bread and buttah"?

[Straw-Man]

let's take it through diablo. i especially love this'un, cuz of my affinity for the sarge; only two long runs i still have from s.a. are sarge and the spider.

Straw-Man, you have the best collection of FF books I've ever seen. Stunning copies.

 

And to every other comic posted since my meagre effort, all beautiful copies. I would be delighted with any of 'em. Congratulations!!!

[Straw-Man]

thanks, harry; there are soooo many nicer runs out there, but i have indeed had a ball putting them together these past few years. and the upgrading is nearly as much fun as the original hunt

I agree with Harry. You have some nice examples, and so does Mr. Moore and Dan.

All of your collections are simply awesome

Not "from a spinner", but "Diablo!" has also been one of the very first early FF stories I read as a child – and one that I really loved! – in this wonderful volume, which came out in 1978 (not my copy, I still have my OO one, but this is a found image)…

The title means "We are the Fantastic Four", a similar volume of Spidey was issued at the same time.

 

 

Here's how the insides look. It also contains #1, Annual #6 and other selected early Lee/Kirby classics (Annual #6 closes the volume).

Quick question: Has FF#32 got a pin-up? My copy appears to have a page cut out and I'm not sure if it's an advert or not.

No pin-up, but there are 2 full-page house ads in #32.

The story pages are numbered, so you should be able to tell quickly if you are missing any story. Or just count total pages of course.

 

Are you maybe missing the ad between (numbered story) pages 18 and 19?

[Harry Lime]

Yes, it's the ad immediately following story page 18. Is there a significance to that?

 

I knew I wasn't missing a story page, I read it yesterday and the story pages are always numbered. I thought it might have been a pin-up as my #33 is missing the Namor one (grrrrr!).

Not high grade by any means, but I'm one step closer to finishing the run!
