I always look at it as FF1v2 … Kirby and Lee moved from the Marvel  version of Challengers of the Unknown into what would be the FF we know and love.

Now that’s a level of understanding and thoughtfulness that had not occurred to me. So you see some evolution in 2 that was a course change? I’ll go back and read both issues now with this in mind.

Thanks for this

Figured I would go to the active collector community directly instead. I first posted this request in comic general in the "all I do is win" ebay thread.

here goes....

I won a 4 book lot of Fantastic Four books though my primary interest was the FF #47. The others were fairly mediocre at best and this wasn't more than a lower/mid-grade copy- maybe a 2.5 or 3.0

It arrived today and I checked it out counting the pages and noticed the front was 7 pages and the back was 8 pages. So it is 34 pages total and should be 36. Further examination showed it was missing the page between pages 4 and 5-- but I can't figure out what is supposed to be there.

Can someone with a complete copy show me what is on the missing portion? I assume it is a pinup or some such thing.

Not sure this is worth bothering sending back - but the seller is new and failed to say anything about it being incomplete. I think I paid $10.51 delivered for the package (media mail and taped like it was a hostage).

Anyway-- if someone with the issue can share the missing part of the book-- it might help me decide if this is that big of a deal.

he's been a tad less quick and useful over in the spidey thread, i feel the need to point out.

Struggled with lighting but the colors are accurate.

Different approach with natural light but breezy trees outside cast some shadows.

hard to blame them-- I mean- he's KirbyJack - not DitkoSteve or even Romita for that matter

Classic cover, average condition copy.

Love this cover. Think I still need a HG copy.

[Frisco Larson]

Me too, on BOTH counts!

I don't know …. BUT there was a collection of early Silver Age that came thru the Twin Cities in the mid 90s that had that name written on them. I have a half dozen or so and would buy more if I found some. They're lower mid grade for the most part and I have only had one certified (see below, sorry it's not an FF). There were some that I didn't buy, due to a dealer wanting too much for them at the time (not because of the name on them, just  an overpriced dealer), so I know there are more out there. I like them because it's cool to me that they all came from one source.

Trying to figure out what this comic is as the ebay person failed to describe anything-- not eve the issue number. I figure this is probably some modern issue that would be a snap for a hard core FF fan to identify. I am sort of interested in it but not even sure what the heck it is supposed to be. I should probably just thank @KirbyJack in advance!

It's Fantastic Four #371  first print, 2nd print is red . It's not worth much.
