ditto!

Took me forever to place the model for Kirby’s hulk in this (and even more so in issue 25) - Karl Malden!  I was like “I know that face, character actor,…”

Aha - yes!

I see it more in his older age than younger, but ya - I see it!

Haha, yes he was like that for a while and even in the new movies.  I call him the hirsute hulk.

And now I have to share my fave.  

You guys, look how French l’incroyable Hulk is.  I really had to stop myself from buying this when it came up bc I was just floored at the genius of this slight change to a serge gainsbourg hairstyle as a way to totally change him

How can you not buy that?

I've developed a love for foreign editions.

Speaking of “alternative editions”, I don’t know if I’ve already shared my absolute favorite green label ever here.

[Straw-Man]

fabulous!!

Recent pickup! Had been looking for one for a while.  Happy w it, obv, but also have come to the conclusion that if 7.5 might be favorite grade to collect, 4.5 might be my least favorite.

Sometimes in pictures, the reflection on the right edge of the bag makes a comic look Marvel chipped when it really isn’t. 
 

This is not one of those times.

That is a GREAT 5.0. And perfect evidence for what a completely BS grade 4.5  is

This will probably be the last FF I buy, aside from the occasional upgrade. #2,4,& 5 are out of my comfort zone these days.

Two superhero teams for the price of one.

A local dealer named Bob Gelner sold this to me decades ago. It’s not every time I see him, but he asks about it often. I think he regrets letting it go.

If early FF’s do not stir up the collecting juices in someone then nothing will.
