Surprised you don't have one! I'm a big fan of that issue myself; it has stories that weren't reprinted multiple times. Plus I have a lot of nostalgia for it since it was one of my earliest pre-heros, brought home by my dad from a house he was renovating. He found a stack of books in the basement and brought back a Tec, a Blackhawk and the ST. I've have a better copy now, but here's the original:

Unfortunately when he went back to work on it somebody had taken the rest of the stack.

 

 

The Strange Tales #88 is another great issue. Kirby monster stories inked by Ditko are the bomb.

Two spectacular pick ups, Rich. I bidded on the ST 85, also. Seems you wanted it more than me. Just a beautiful copy.

Here is what I did get from Comics4less. Finally, got a chance to scan them.

Nice pickups and the cover on the ST is compelling when you have an attractive copy like that one! :applause:

Thank you, sir!! (thumbs u:D Certain giant monsters are cooler than others!!

 

"Jagger Lips" Gigantus is high on the list of cool ones. (thumbs u

:roflmao::applause: He's just about to say: "Please allow me to introduce myself"!!

BTW, Gigantus came first, so Jagger really has Gigantus lips!! Just sayin'!
