Classic Steranko Cover. I bought this at Keith's Comics, and it appeared VF, I didn't notice a slight stain on the cover until I got home. The insides are pristine and I'm glad to have this well presenting copy! It is a great trippy cover and a rendition that matched the times when it was created. Good On Steranko for keeping it lit! Such a great book with a series that went on for a while, even with Steranko working on the book to give it that same feel. It was fun to find and I'm slowly building, taking my time, the set, until it gets too expensive. I'm happy at VF or thereabouts, cause the art is hardly interfered with in those grades. It still presents well, and the colors pop, sometimes that is better than NM if the color and "gloss" so to speak are still well off. That and with an artsy or colorful cover like the Steranko run on this series, it stands out!
Complete with a back cover picture of issues #2 to take as a place holder, a slow build and a slow burn, but getting there!
Grader Notes:
light bends to cover;
light crease left top of back cover;
light spine stress lines to cover;
medium, moderate water stain left top of front cover.

Jim Steranko Story and Art ON NICK FURY! Steranko gave some truly "inspired" covers during this period and I lucked into #1, so I would like to complete them all! Very striking cover with art placement and coloring. Bought on impulse from Mr. Robert "Bob" Storms! He had a "spin a wheel" for a discount promotion! lol. A good man that Bob Storms, a reputable seller and is always getting new stuff. Cool to see Steranko still on this series! Given Steranko's full body of work being a smallish volume compared to others of the same quality, he didn't disappoint. He also kept getting around way after he had stopped really producing art for Marvel. He did the Comic Con circuit and did many autographs for fans. Maybe even did a discretional picture with a fan or two and can talk your ear off with opportunity. So many HITS! Nearly everything he did was just AWESOME!
Complete with a back cover picture of this issues insides, that are well done and a part of my reader copy. Glad to have something Steranko to fall back on and peruse!
Grader Notes;
Right Bottom Front Cover Lite Crease.

It's Steranko! In Spaaace! Well Nick Fury sure enough, no Major Tom though, keeping the art juices flowing in this classic Silver Age. A 7.5 copy fits my issue #1, even for this #6 classic, and I'm glad to make it my own. Epics of space and travel, really capturing all alone feeling and without hope imagery, yet with a sense of wonder from the beyond and other sci-fi attributes. Steranko, still on the title, delivers with another HIT! Keeping it original and without any disappointment. We could get new artists this well off in talent, but it may "look" too different than these classics, due to digitizing of coloring. I'd still love the imagination, depicting thoughts on paper with words is hard enough for me! The old utensils used, and sometimes digitizing is very useful; although, the "feel" is two different admirable looks! :) Alone in the Universe? Maybe something cosmic will do the trick, or at least do not deny the supernatural! The heavens and beyond!
Complete with a back cover picture of the prescreen pass before released to theaters of, "First Man!" Neil Armstrong and a telling of the first landing space venture, which is placed around the time of distribution of this comic. Just to tell of the coming space age and the rallying cry of recent generations.
Grader Notes:
moderate tanning interior back cover;
moderate tanning interior front cover;
small, light wear left bottom of front cover breaks color.
