FF # 6 won on Comic Connect for a steal! I had been chasing this book for a while and an upgrade to my CGC 6.0!

[Steviehuv66]

FF # 7 from the Tongie Farm collection. Included is the tanning that most of the Silver Age books possess!

Last one I swear! FF # 9 from Superworld Comics.

many folks don't like this cover, but I always have. Plus, it's the only FF cover Kirby penciled and inked. Many believe it is Kirby's self portrait on that billboard. Sure does look like Jack

the 6 is often overlooked in favor of the 4 and the 5. I love the NYC skyline in the background. Dark greens on Doom are a little tougher to find on this one. Nice upgrade Steve

great copies, one and all!

When I first saw FF 6, I was struck by the coloring of the villains, but it’s exactly the same as they appear on the covers of 4 and 5. 

[Straw-Man]

subby in red trunks on doc strange x-over, too.

I had never noticed the red trunks, but the comment made me immediately go looking at the early FF covers.  Here's a quick survey:

• Red trunks on FF #4 and #6
• Green trunks on #9 and #14
• Back to red for Annual #1 (which I believe came out around the same time as #16) and #27
• Green again for #33

Who knew?  

[Sweet Lou 14]

And although I don't have the time to go through all of his old GA covers, I did find this example where he's wearing blue!

Beat me to it. I was at work and couldn’t take the time to look it up.

There should be time set aside in my workday for truly important stuff like this. The priorities at my job are insanely out of whack.

He has blue trunks on in all the timelys to my knowledge

Today I finally freed two captives from their plastic "prisons".
A 3.0 and 9.0 convicts, respectively. But none of them had White complexion – evidently in prison they gave 'em good food!

 

[HighVoltage]

Very clean FF #2!

And - I've always been a big fan of FF Annual 5. Psycho Man was a scary looking dude.

The FF had some terrific annuals.

[KirbyJack]

Really nice! My Annual 5 is super nice, too!

I continually fall into the pattern of not paying much attention to books once I've checked them off my want list ... has there been a spike in FF #2 since the announcement that the Skrulls will be in the Captain Marvel movie?  I got my copy last year and certainly paid a lot for it, but my guess is that I should be thankful I didn't wait until this year.  (Like I did with #4 and #5, sadly!)
