Nice 9.0 and the colors on that raw copy, particularly the red in the logo are outstanding!

I would like to hear the story about the reworking of this cover; The white flash, the Ayers Thing, etc. 

Anyone ever hear anything about it?

The raw book was listed as VG+ so another one of those "presents well for the grade" I keep hearing about.

I've never heard anything about it, but I HAVE been a bit curious what that white flash is supposed to represent. It's about the same size as the boulder Ben is gonna throw but it doesn't really like the boulder came from there, and Reed doesn't know how to levitate (to MY knowledge). I hope someone knows something about it!

Yeah, that's a really nice-looking vg+!!! Good sources for tightly graded comics are getting harder to find.  Congrats for having a good source!

After seeing all the awesome FF books in this thread, I thought I'd fish a few of mine out to share...

At one point I was trying to put together a run of FF #1-60, but have only been able to get #8 and #20-60...with so many low numbers missing I decided to shift my focus to other runs I'm closer to completing, and enjoy the FFs I have.

Here's my copy of FF #25 that I bought from @MrBedrock back in 2016...it was graded CGC 8.0, and I cracked out so I could read it. While I love this book, I thought Roussos's inks were not as good as some of Kirby's other inkers...

Oh yeah, and I need to learn to take better photos!
