Underappreciated book.  Not sure why, unless we're going to go to that weird place where people actually think casting Samuel L. Jackson in the movies somehow devalues the first appearance of the Caucasian version of Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD.

I’ve always been a big promoter of Strange Tales 135. I had a spare once, but now not.

Oh, it's a book I've had forever (early 90s?). A LCS (Brian's Books in Sunnyvale, CA) had a great collection of Strange Tales and I picked a bunch up.

Bought this Sersi figure today on triple markdown. Old label 109 doesn't reference her first appearance but the new labels do.

I got this slabbed recently. Came back 9.4. Sold on my friend's website. Had it for 23 years.

That’s going to be a biggie, U MARk my words.

Thanks! I'd been hunting for a 9.6 for a set I'm working on but I either can't find one or when I DO, they're disproportionately too expensive. This one will fit the bill just fine.

I love this title! First off, it's awesome! Secondly, it's super early in Marvel's Silver Age! Thirdly, it's still very affordable! Since I semi-recently added a U.K. Edition copy to my Strange Tales collection, I wanted to show these three together: My modest American Marvel copy, my new U.K. Marvel copy and an original art page (page 2) from cover story "Secret of the Hidden Planet" which is drawn by artist Gene Colan. I'm still looking for the La Prensa Mexican Edition copy.
