Shifting gears, I’ve been re-reading my ASMs and just got to #38 this weekend. I know this is considered to be a rather blah issue, but it was kind of sad; the end of an era. While Ditko seemed to put as much into the story as any other issue, it spots the art looked a bit rushed. He was stricken from the letters page, too; instead of "Dear Stan and Steve” every letter was addressed to "Dear Stan.”

Another interesting item is that in the house ad for upcoming comics, the cover of FF #52 is obscured by a blurb. I imagine that’s because the original was re-drawn and the new version wasn’t ready at press time.

tks!  that concludes the "must have" upgrades from 1-38.  from here out, there are a half-dozen or so i'd think about bumping up to 9.0 from 8.0's and 8.5's, but it'll be a very secondary pursuit.
