my choice is dated 12/69.  i will listen to "on the spinners" in 12/69.   i can't get on board a certain artist's work on a certain title being determinative.   but it's all just fun to kick around.

To clarify, I only think Kirby on FF is definitive silver for Fantastic Four only.  I’m not saying nothin’ about nothin’ else.

Issue 93...I'm flexible...I'll go with that too depending on my mood or who I'm arguing with...

FF Silver goes through 102 then Annuals. :-)

I'm also in the camp for FF Silver being 1-102 plus annuals 1-6, with the annual 7 published in 1969 but as an all reprint issue on the fence.

For Marvel in general, and for me, Conan #1 (October 1970 cover date but on the stands that summer) signals the change in type of content and a subtle shift in target audience that starts the Bronze Age.

I've been waiting patiently to post another FF issue in sequence like a kid waiting for Christmas morning.

Gave away my reader in the raffle or gift exchange; only to discover that MGC didn’t reprint it! So now my reading copy is a treasury.
