Here’s the beginning of the end for the Kirby/Lee collaboration. Kirby drew and plotted a first class story, and Lee wrote a completely different one. The most glaring example of this “Failure To Communicate” is the second FF Galactus story in 74-77.

I would be interested in hearing more about both of these "Failure To Communicate" issues.

I've always thought this book was undervalued. Dark cover, first chapter of the Adam Warlock story.

To say I am ecstatic would be an understatement

You can read all about it at the Jack Kirby Museum site. It’s a series of articles first published in The Jack Kirby Collector.

Not perfect, but considering that I used to pass over high grade comics so I could buy more low grade comics, I’m very happy with my FFs.

What’s worse?  That I use oversized golden age 4 mil Mylar and boards or to use undersized boards?  I know the books look dumb with incorrect storage but all the different sizes are irritating to acquire!  Shame shame Kirby jack!

Can you send me a link to the articles? I searched for some time and couldn't find them. Thank you!

A VERY generous seller cut me a massive deal for these 4 books I needed and told me to come back next week for a few more low number issues he didn't have out today. $160 for the group, and I could not be more ecstatic! I bought a lot more too, but those will have to be posted in different threads.

I was very lucky to get this nice copy for a bargain basement price at the last pre-covid con.

A classic issue with a brilliant cover and you can’t go wrong with Adam warlock in my opinion
