Jim Starlin's Captain Marvel 25 - 33 LOT + Daredevil 105 & Marvel Feature 12:  

This is a complete reader's lot of Jim Starlin's first Thanos saga -- as played out in the pages of Captain Marvel, Daredevil, and Marvel Feature -- from early 1973 through mid 1974.  One of the coolest, if not THE coolest runs of comic books ever produced by anyone during the 1970s!

This lot is also "Starlin-centric" in that it only includes books in which Starlin had a hand, either as a writer and artist, or as an artist only (so there is no Avengers #125, in which Thanos makes a brief appearance, written by Steve Englehart, and drawn by John Buscema and Dave Cockrum).

Obviously, the big omission here is Iron Man #55 -- Thanos's introduction by Starlin.  

But in the interest of keeping this lot affordable, and because I want to keep my beat-up (and only!) copy, I'm including a recent modern reprint of that first Thanos story at no extra charge.

So...here's what you get (in correct reading order):

Captain Marvel #25:  Coverless.  Interior is 100% complete and readable with no hidden defects.

Captain Marvel #26:  Fair-.  2nd appearance of Thanos.  Spine roll.  Cover is completely detached and has a '70s "label-maker" 10-cent price sticker on the front cover.  Numbers and small doodles written in pen at the bottom of the back cover.  Interior is 100% complete and readable -- nothing missing, no hidden defects.

Captain Marvel #27:  Good.  Cover and all interior pages firmly attached to both staples.  "188" written in black maker along the top margin of the back cover; small piece missing from the bottom lhc of the back cover; two small tears (< 1") on the lh side of the back cover.  Interior is 100% complete and readable -- nothing missing, no hidden defects.

Captain Marvel #28:  Good.  STUNNING interior art by Starlin -- some of his best in the whole run!  Cover and all interior pages firmly attached to both staples.  1.5" tear to the rhs of the front cover near CM's left fist.  Book is slighty wavy.  Interior is 100% complete and readable -- nothing missing, no hidden defects.

Daredevil #105:  Fine.  Origin of Moondragon (4.5 pages of Starlin art).  Cover and all interior pages firmly attached to both staples.  Some ncb wear not visible in the scan.  Interior is 100% complete and readable -- nothing missing, no hidden defects.

Captain Marvel #29:  G/VG.  Starlin unleashed!!!!  "270" written in black marker along the top margin of the back cover.  Cover and all interior pages firmly attached to both staples.  Interior is 100% complete and readable -- nothing missing, no hidden defects.

Marvel Feature #12:  Fair.  Cover and all interior pages firmly attached to both staples.  Water damage/staining (more visible on the back cover) and some staple rust.   Paper is supple, and there are no musty or weird odors.  Interior is 100% complete and readable -- nothing missing, no hidden defects.

Captain Marvel #30:  G/VG.  Blue ballpoint writing in the top margin ("Stan Lee Presents..." has been transformed by some smart-@ss teenager into "Stan Lee...reads DC!") and bottom margin (a squiggle that looks like the letter "R").  Cover and all interior pages firmly attached to both staples.  Interior is 100% complete and readable -- nothing missing, no hidden defects.

Captain Marvel #31:  G/VG.  Some light ink stains to the bottom of pages 10 and 11.  Cover and all interior pages firmly attached to both staples.  Interior is 100% complete and readable -- nothing missing, no hidden defects.

Captain Marvel #32:  VG/Fine.  Cover and all interior pages firmly attached to both staples.  Interior is 100% complete and readable -- nothing missing, no hidden defects.

Captain Marvel #33:  VG.  The Grand Finalé of Starlin's first Thanos saga -- and it's one helluva an ending!!!!!  Cover and all interior pages firmly attached to both staples.  Interior is 100% complete and readable -- nothing missing, no hidden defects.

And...

True Believers #1 - Thanos the First:  VF.   A recent modern reprint of Starlin's Iron Man #55 (first appearance of Thanos from 1973), which also includes a reprint of the first Thanos solo story from Logan's Run #6 (from 1977, not by Starlin).

That's 11 seminal '70s comics that have fueled the Marvel Cinematic Universe + a useful modern reprint as a freebie, all for...

Wasn't able to do the update on Weds as planned -- spent most of the evening fighting to keep my basement from flooding due to a week of heavy rains here in the Baltimore area!

I may add a few new listings tonight, and will definitely price the books in the Stalin lot for individual sale.

In the meantime, everything is still available -- any/all PM offers will be cheerfully considered...
