10+ years ago I bought a WoF 16 from Ted @ Superworld. I looked high and low the following years for the rest of the run, never seeing any issue other than 17. The 18 & 19 are two VERY hard to find issues, and your copies are spectacular (worship)

Thanks sir!

I put together a complete run a few years ago - slowly doing upgrades. This is how it looked three years ago:

I’m wouldn’t be able to keep that slabbed. I would need to know.

Here are the other 2 WOF in my collection (I posted the WOF 16 a few weeks ago).

I know this is the first of the PHM covers with the giant, nearly monosyllabic named monsters (crushing something with fleeing humans), but does anyone else think that they could have drawn Xom a little better? Or was this just to prepare us for the change-over to the Oog's, Zog's, Goom's & Bombu's?

Journey Into Mystery 20 (Dec 54) comes  close to meeting your criteria. Less so Strange Tales 34 (Feb 55), but it has that feel.

 

Neither qualify as true PHM, of course. 

No Ditko or Kirby.

Lee/Ditko/Kirby is sorta implied as a criteria :)

To really meet the specs - the creature needs a sweet pair of Kirby monster-pants:
