Issue Thirty-eight of the Sub-Mariner was my first introduction to the character. The book was released, quite frankly before I was. I do no know how I ever got the book, but it was one that I read over and over again...I even relentlessly searched for a 9.8 of that issue, so when I found this point five copy I couldn't pass it up. It also became my earliest copy of this series, the original series I wanted every copy of (other than the New Mutants, but then there was only 14 that I needed) before I went after Volume 1 of Daredevil.
Namor was established as a Mutant. He was already mentioned as "possibly the first known mutant" in the Fantastic Four Annual # 1 Published 7/63.

One of My favorite Ka-Zar covers. Not sure why I ever wanted this though. My first copy was a 7.0. I had it graded and signed by Stan Lee, but I sold it. I wanted a 9.0 or higher and was disappointed with the things I missed before I turned to over. this .5 though is awesome.. I wish I had this at the time to get signed... Oh well. Although to be honest... I probably would not have done it. Stan Lee's signature got a bit expensive.

As a teen the first series I ever wanted to put together was the X-Men. And there were no other X-Men than the one in these pages. This goal simply eroded with time and quite possibly this goal will never reemerge. Getting point fives might make it easier, but still...that elusive issue #1 is still close to $2000.00 in that grade. Is it even worth it...should I hold out for a 1.0. In the majority of my saved searches, I have .5 saved to notify me when they arrive. some are reasonable, some I get outbid, and others are ridicules. This...not so much
One of the things that might put me over the "Do I buy? or Don't I buy?" threshold area Date stamps.. I don't know why... I just like them. It wasn't until I was taking a picture of the back of the cover to load up onto the registry that I noticed this had not one...but three on the back cover. They look as every bit as vibrant as the rest of the book, if not more so.

If New Mutants #15 was the first comic book of my collection then this was one of the first comic books I went back for. Apparently I jumped on the comic bandwagon just as Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars was beginning. I started to pick up every comic book around this time and was introduced to Kitty and Storm not knowing Storm ever looked any different then with a Mohawk.
