I was hooked at the splash page when I read Strange Tales 110. That guy waking up in a sweat, lighting a cigarette to steady his nerves... Loved it. I also bought my copy cheap, and right around that time. $50 ish?

Now there’s a cover!

I think the Fantastic Four’s lettercol started a month or so earlier, in issue 3. I know the fashion themed comics like Millie credited fans with contributions ( i.e., Patsy’s coat designed by Judy Smith of Centerville, WV), but I don’t know if they had actual letter columns.

Here’s mine. Posted here years ago, but I feel left out.

Good scroungin’ RM!

Bump

Good luck. He might be anywhere.

D’oh!

I can do JIM.

I’m eager to help you out with splash pictures, but it will have to wait till I get home.

Doom, you say?

A hero book with thread-friendly content...

Of course it’s stupid! But if it helps convince someone to give pre hero Marvels a chance, I’m all for it!

A bittersweet issue for me. It’s obviously awesome, but every time I see one, I recall missing out on the original art of a splash from it.

Congratulations, Louie! Completing Fantastic Four in 1991 was, and still is, the biggest thrill I’ve experienced in the hobby. Official FF Collecting Rules clearly state that you are entitled to cake today. 🎂
