Sold as a 7.5 It was the only one they had (at the time) so I really didn't bother with the Zoom feature. LINK Edited February 21, 2019 by MR SigS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been trying to upgrade mine for years. When I do, I'll trade my old one for an extra GS Captain America if you have it. Good catch! I accidentally left it out of the photo Shame because I have a nice copy. Now I have to retake the photo!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A book I have and oddly have never connected in my head to giant size marvels. Honestly didnt even know there were so many! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Comicdey 23,582 posts Posted March 29, 2019 I’ve aways loved these GS issues and I’ve had them all over the years. At this point I think I’m only missing GSX1 because I keep selling them when I have them. But I have a ton of dupes thanks to an Original Owner Collection I found a few years back. Here are a few examples. Everyone should have the full set of 1974-1975 goodness. 7 KirbyJack, NP_Gresham, jaybes and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Comicdey 23,582 posts Posted March 29, 2019 Don’t forget those solo Howard the Duck stories in man thing GS 4/5 won’t don’t forget that many of these have insidious marvel value stamps to clip :-) 2 grebal and jaybes reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sold off the low grade books and some key dupes and kept most. Probably should sell some some day. 6 KirbyJack, ADAMANTIUM, speedcake and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you're serious about wanting to read the books, note that only some of these were new stories -- many of them were reprints. Off the top of my head, G-S FF #4 has the first appearance of the Multiple Man (Jamie Madrox) so if you're an X-Men fan that could be one to focus on.

The Roy Thomas Gil Kane GZ CONAN run is among one of the best of the era IMHO 2 OtherEric and jaybes reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
