THE FF BATTLE THE MAD THINKER!
This key debut issue is also a tough-to-find early issue of Marvel's very first superhero team title!
VERY EARLY MARVEL SILVER-AGE KEY COMIC!
This iconic book is well known to fans and dealers alike, as a hot early Marvel comic book featuring the cult-classic MAD THINKER for the very first time, not to mention the timeless art by the legendary Jack "King" Kirby. It has the influential artwork of Kirby on the cover as well as inside the issue, which is top quality. This series helped to kick off the fabled silver-age of comics, and pre-dates Amazing Spider-Man #1 and X-Men #1! Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm are all major pop culture properties with cult-classic films; Who knows when they may get yet another big-screen smash-hit? It doesn't get much more "Blue Chip" than this!
This sought-after original first-print comic-book WILL find a new home, as the asking price is low and there is NO RESERVE!
This historic early-sixties superhero comic is a real find in such nice shape, as most copies were read, and re-read, time and time again, and attrition was high. This copy has obviously been read, but it still retains great eye-appeal when viewed in the archival sleeve; The large detailed scan pretty well sums it up. It has some general wear, including dings and bumps to some edges and some minor tears, and a previous owner pre-emptively added tape to the otherwise pretty spine area to ensure the cover could withstand numerous future readin's, and for some reason he also added tape to the top edge of the INSIDE front cover. The book is a solid mid grade, otherwise... There are some minor creases and cover blemishes and indentations and other traditional signs of past contented usage. The innards are still retained at both original staples, and the pages are untorn and supple and clean. This is a great way for a reader or collector to fill in a major early Marvel key without dropping hundreds, if not thou$ands, of dollars.
We are also now auctioning other great unslabbed and CGC Marvel comics, plus rare comic art; And we'll be offering hundreds of other collectable comics in the next few months. Check out our ebay items regularly!
Famous Silver-Age Marvel first-appearances are heating up... A lot has happened with Marvel comics in the past FORTY-SIX YEARS since this milestone came out, adding more allure to the key issues such as this; so I don't suggest waiting around until these crucial books have gone through the roof.... Complete specimens of this hot back-issue are always in demand, but are not always available in the market, especially in affordable attractive condition with supple pages like this!
This is an unrestored collectable copy that you can show and display proudly, without worrying about damage or degradation of the nice supple clean fresh bone-white paper, thanks to the benefit of the ARCHIVAL MYLAR SLEEVE WITH TRUE ACID-FREE BACKER which is included. With demand that exceeds supply, premium prices can occur when a presentable example such as this reaches the market.
Great cover colors, and there is still nice gloss too. If you are a Marvel collector, serious key comics investor, or just a devout cross-over comic collector, and prefer books without long creases or major rips or pieces missing or other distracting major flaws, then NOW is your opportunity.
The prices for early Marvel keys have been climbing year after year; --these are up over a grand now in NM- 9.2!
This is perfect for the fan who wants a decent copy of the original edition, not some mere reprint, and wants to be able to open it and enjoy the comic-book experience so a costly slabbed example wouldn't be ideal.
