I was at a table at the Motor City Comic Convention with my friend Darth Korgi when he wandered off and found a bunch of Fantastic Four comics I needed including these two. Thanks again, Darth Korgi!

It looks like Ben had some rough times for a few issues.

Hey all --

 

Just picked this up on Comiclink...not really in my 1-20 wheelhouse, but such a tough book that I had to give it a run! Surprised I got it, actually.

I bid on it, but nothing crazy (which I'll probably regret in five years when I realize I don't have a White Mountain FF :insane:)

I can't wait to read it!

 

The Torgo storyline is wondeful… I think I need to upgrade my #92 or #93… hm

 

Love the #46 Bill, if I remember to scan them I will post my #48 rag and my Annual #6 with the Kirby signature. (thumbs u

 

...those were on the stands when I was a kid .....it was agony waiting a month between installments. It really was devastating when Jack jumped ship less than a year later.... GOD BLESS...

I just love Dr.X's #5!

 

I can just imagine how it must have been reading the Torgo storyline when it came out: I was as much excited as when I started to read them there was the second Torgo-related storyline, by Roy Thomas, so Torgo is an old acquaintance, and so is Gorr, the Golden Gorilla. :cloud9:

[Outstanding! Those all look good for the grade, too. I'm guessing you didn't buy the first copies you could, like I did.

 

 

I mentioned where all of these came from when I posted my collection of #1 - #600. These lower numbers were the last five gooks I pieced together. These all came from reputable dealers who know how to grade and three were bought in hand.

 

And speaking of Torgo.....................

I wondered because you said "all came from reputable dealers who know how to grade" so I guessed they were bought before.

Well, I am the opposite, I always strive to read the original books. And after twenty years I am giving away the Masterworks, which I have never read. :)

well, I did read them when they first came out many ages ago. my comment on the grading was in regard to the grade on the label was correct for the book. they were all in grade is what I meant. no defects that could not be seen from a scan.

Ah you meant they look nice for the technical grade. They surely do, I’d love to have your #5. :)

 

Going for the first edition (when possible) has been something I started to care for pretty early, not only with comics.

The Mastwerworks would have been a lot better if they used uncoated paper and recolored them following the original color schemes, avoiding the ugly computer coloring of many of the first issues.
