So I have question for all you FF buffs.

I was at a small comic show over the weekend and there was a lot of buzz and talk about FF #1 and a number of FF books in general.  Although a key book, most people don't talk too much about FF #1.  So my question is ... What happened to cause such a stir  and demand for FF#1?  One dealer at the show had a 3.0 for $6000 Canadian and said that the demand for this book is only going to go up.

Thanks.

If i'm not mistaken  AF 15 is more expensive. Its a title should belong to FF1 as the start of the Marvel universe.

Am I wrong, or did Kirby ink the cover himself?

[Straw-Man]

one should always ink self-portraits.

[Straw-Man]

can't imagine why i didn't think to do the annuals at the beginning of the year; oh, well, better late [for the first 6] than never.

[Straw-Man]

love this cover.

Correct. the 7 was the only FF cover he drew and inked himself...and as Parker said, some say Mr. Fantastic on that billboard is indeed a self portrait of Jolly 'Ole Jack.

Finally, a number I have in FF ...

 

[Straw-Man]

well, our little 1-31 tour ended yesterday, so here's just a random posting of a fave book.  best stand-alone issue, imo.

p.s.  not an extremely high grade for a pedigree copy, but the greens are unreal on don and maggie's book!

Great comic! I think the first 3 copies of this I owned all had the upper staple popped. Finally bit the bullet a few years back and got a solid one from Mr. Storms.

[Straw-Man]

one of my faves, colors-wise.

Beautiful.

A kid I hung with in the 1970s had a big box of comics, and I think FF 76 was the oldest one in it. 

Must have read his copy a hundred times.
