Owner's Description

First off let me give a special thanks to kevinm562 because this comic came from his set "The Poppupian Collection", I know it was hard to part with (check out his sets, silver age Marvel 4 life).

Super beautiful copy, centering is almost perfect and signed in the perfect spot.

Now I am not big on signatures on higher grade silver age books, but every once in a while some thing comes along and slaps you in the face (and boy this one woke me up). There are only 4 graded this high or higher in the first 10 issues (#1-8.5, #4-7.5 this copy,#5-9.0, and #7-7.5) and only 3 more up to #20. Let's face it guys Stan isn't going to be around until the end of time, and won't be doing signings forever.

As for the book itself, I absoutly love this cream colored cover. First silver age appearance of Sub-Mariner and the start of the akwardness of the crush of Subby on Sue, many great stories to come from this. Look at the little baby booties the Thing is wearing, bless the stars those are gone.

I prize this book more than issue #1, it has found a home. It is not a 8.0 or better (how I don't know), but as far as I am concerned this is better, so I broke my set rule on this one and have no regrets about it.
