It's Cool! It's Old! It Hasn't Been Done Yet! The Strange Tales #101 Club! 1 1

[KirbyJack]

Next time I go digging I'll pull out my (midgrade) copy. This series always felt like Fantastic Four Lite to me, a nice adder-on to the main title. Solo Torch stories were okay, but when they added Thing to the mix, their personalities and interplay brought it all up a notch.

 

Besides, how can you not love a series that introduces The Wizard and Past Pot Pete to the MU?

 

 

Bump because catrick stills owes us a viewing.

Well, as long as you asked so nicely...

Hmm.

 

Alkaspace seems to have gone south on me, this is my first try with imageshack. It seems to have resized it despite my best efforts.

 

Believe I'll have to try again....

[catrick339]

All right, let's see what imgur can do.

 

[catrick339]

Well, it looks pretty on imgur, let's try a different upload.

 

[catrick339]

Ahh, THERE we go!

 

Imgur did a nice job after all.

 

Nice accurate upload.

 

There you go, KirbyJack!

 

A perfectly nice scan and upload of a pretty ordinary copy of a very cool book.

 

(And much like you, I'm perfectly happy with this copy, it serves my need for a solid attractive reader copy quite admirably)

[KirbyJack]

Beautiful!

Thanks for posting it; I thought we should have an addition for October. Happy 52nd birthday, Strange Tales 101!

[vaillant]

I’d love to have it, some day…

I agree that this [key] book is WAY undervalued.

 

Here is my copy:

[KirbyJack]

Great book, Straw!

 

And now, comparing, I can see that my copy is faded. My word balloons are very pale.

Just saw this thread and just bought this copy (stolen scans I hope they are still active)

Here is my low grade entry. It's rough, but complete and one of the better centered examples I've seen (at least in terms of the right edge).

Jack Kirby is amazing. Thanks for sharing a larger upload.

As to what I said. When did this comic stop being a key? Seems no one looks at this comic the way I did when I was younger. I guess cause it's not a first appearance. Still a key to me.

 

I know exactly how you feel. Where is the love? Strange Tales is a fantastic title, lots of people like and collect it, and this is the hero starting point!

I still gravitate towards this issue whenever one surfaces.

 

 

I still think it's one of the early Marvel key issues. It will eventually have its day in the lime light.

Oooh! Pretties!

[Foxtrot70]

Maybe ya'll can appreciate Kirby en Espanol! The human torch was always a favorite of mine. The stories are not as strong in this run, but I enjoy the whole experience nonetheless.

Bumping because of some peripheral love in the "scarce 110" thread.
