Owner's Description
This has always been one of my favorite FF covers, featuring the second battle between the Hulk and the Thing. There are two 9.8s of this coveted FF cover featuring the Hulk versus the Thing. Once again, we have never seen them, but are happy to have this 9.6 which hails from the Curator Collection. Considered one of the best Silver Age collections ever discovered, the Curator boasts an Avengers #1 in 9.4, an Amazing Spider-Man #1 in 9.8, an X-men #1 in 9.8 and a Tales of Suspense #47 in 9.9, among many others. The collection began in the late '50s and continued into the '80s, its condition peaking in 1962. They were amassed by an employee of a museum (hence the name), who stored the comics in tight packs on the museum's premises. John Hauser acquired most of them in the '90s but sold many without a pedigree identification. As a result some copies have lost their pedigree as the books do not have any distinctive markings.
We acquired the book in a large trade with another Registry member.
