FineCollector Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 12, definitely. I've been hunting a nicely presenting low grade copy for a long time. I find that issues after 23 or so seem to turn up more often, and with better paper quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadroch Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 25 is a better story but is much more common. I think 12 is undervalued. I have a small hoard of 25s, and find dealers often have multiple copies and are flexible with the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Boy Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I found the story in 12 to be overrated haven't read 25 in a while but 12 's cover is better IMO. First Hulk crossover for 12 so all the wight might be right there in the decision Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehumantorch Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 #12 by a mile. Lot harder to find and a wonderful SA cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsp99 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 As most everyone has mentioned, get the 12 1st. Historically more important and tougher to find in comparison to the 25. Personally, I've always been a sucker for darker covers (ie purple, black, etc) and therefore aesthetically prefer a high grade 25.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThothAmon Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 12. In the mid 90’s I Bought some Kirby Hulk art off a guy in Rochester N.Y. tried to convince him to also sell me the interior page to FF 12 that is depicted on the cover. Sadly he didn’t. I dream about that page frequently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffreyk Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 FF 12 is one of my favorite stories ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirbyJack Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 If a budget is involved, I’m assuming you’re talking about different grades for the two? Like a 5.0 12 vs. a 9.0 25; is this correct? 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primetime Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 the story in 25/26 is really good and better than the 12. But the 12 is earlier and I prefer the cover/12 cent bubble marvels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case I'd still recommend the 12, but make sure it presents the way you like. It's easy to get caught up and settle for the first copy in your budget. Nice looking FF 12s aren't overly abundant. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spracknetch23 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 I'd go for the midgrade 12 any day. Especially if it presents well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirbyJack Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Bear in mind, you don’t need to break the bank to obtain a nice looking FF 25; maybe just get both? Bought this from High Grade Comics within the last year or two. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
