Thanks pal. I’m delighted. Wanted FF1 since I was a kid waiting for the newsagents to open to buy the latest copy of Mighty World of Marvel. And finally I’ve got one! Missed out on FF5, which is the only one I need now for the full run.

Cool. Are they all pence copies? Pence books are cool, I'm told.

All pence copies. Not for the purists perhaps, but I love them.

Yoinked this out of a $30 mystery box today and did a little twirl     Was a limited run of 75 boxes with nine hits, this I think was the 2nd best hit. I don't usually buy mystery boxes, but it was Halloween themed so I DID and I WON.

Congratulations!  What do you think it's worth?

While I already have another copy of this epic grail (a complete 0.5 out getting restored right now with Hero Restoration) I really wanted to pick up another copy (because let's be honest, other than AF15 this might be the most important book just based on the cinematic universe).

The coverless copies are still fairly affordable and have the amazing advantage of showcasing one of the best opening splash pages of all Marvel key books (JiM 83 and Hulk 1 are close, but don't pack as much punch as this one). It really has it all; large dynamic character art, captivating title, vivid colors, clear credits listing the Marvel greats, and a very entertaining caption box. 

Paid more than GPA for this one but was happy to do so - as I was hunting for one that presented in a very specific way (nice off-white/white pages for a crisp border, complete interiors, no big missing chunks, and crisp edges with next to zero chipping etc...).

Another Ant Man - and another lower grade but presents well

The only way I could afford that would be if that year was 1992.

Хотя у меня уже есть еще одна копия этого эпического Грааля (полная версия 0.5, которая восстанавливается прямо сейчас с помощью Hero Restoration), я действительно хотел забрать еще одну копию (потому что давайте будем честными, кроме AF15, это может быть самая важная книга, основанная только на кинематографическая вселенная).

Копии без обложки по-прежнему довольно доступны и обладают удивительным преимуществом демонстрации одной из лучших начальных страниц-заставок из всех ключевых книг Marvel (JiM 83 и Hulk 1 близки, но не содержат столько впечатлений, как эта). В нем действительно есть все; большое динамическое изображение персонажей, увлекательное название, яркие цвета, четкие титры, в которых перечислены великие персонажи Marvel, и очень интересное поле с заголовками. 

За это заплатили больше, чем средний балл, но я был счастлив сделать это - так как я искал тот, который был представлен очень специфическим образом (красивые не совсем белые / белые страницы для четкой границы, полные внутренние части, без больших недостающих фрагментов и четкие кромки с почти нулевым сколом и т. д.). 

 

Congratulations! I myself am thinking about selling the ASM 300 for the same ToA 39 without a cover. Not sure if it's worth it
