I was on CL last night and thought what the heck. At least I'll finally have one.

 

Such a great cover.  You can feel the raw power the Hulk is about to unleash

I got this some time ago but had no image. It upgrades my foxing-freckled reader.

Decided to sit down and read this again before going to the movie tonight, although they aren't really related.  I'd forgotten the "Most Dangerous Game" vibe in that book.

A recent purchase.

Finally got these back from CGC!

Happy they have the same grade

And one full grade improvement! Thanks @joeypost

That's one of the handful of 1960s issues that was clearly present in one or more warehouse finds of undestroyed, uncirculated copies.  The others I recall in the 1 to 75 range are #46, #48, #58, and #59.

Always strange when some Silver Marvel issues are far more available than others, and #44 is the earliest in the title that's significantly more available than most others.  I always wonder which is more available between #44 and #48.  Going by the Census there are over twice as many copies of #48 in high grade, but #44 wouldn't be submitted nearly as much since it's not a key so I'm sure there are quite a few unslabbed high grade copies of it out there.

FF 72. Tiny bits of purple mixed in with the blacks are kinda trippy cool. 
 

[BoomCity]

I think this has to be my favourite of the FF run, even over number 1. I grabbed a 4.0 from an awesome boardie @alexgross.combut then went the route of a downgrade into another copy on a big trade on instagram. Then used that copy to get this one with a trade deal with Bob Storms. 3/3 in great transactions. Very happy with this beauty of a 2.5.

Oh, yes. That’s how to live, right there.

Here's a couple - one upgrade, one newbie - for my collection in today's mail from @maxon.  Hope to see some of these cool "sub-atomic" characters - along with "negative zone" characters in upcoming MCU projects.
