Fantastic Four Annual #1 2 3 4 5 7 8 9 + Marvel Collectors Item Classics #1-22 + Marvels Greatest Comics #23-40 + 6 more comics reprinting Kirbys FF, Ditkos Doctor Strange stories, Spider-Man, and more. (Please keep scrolling for a breakdown of every comic book included in this set.)
Condition is mostly low grade readers. FF Ann. #1 is COVERLESS and Ann. #2 is missing the back cover and a piece at the top left corner of front cover measuring 1.5" x 2-3" and Id grade it POOR to FAIR at best just for the virtues of the interiors being complete. ALL INTERIORS ARE COMPLETE & READABLE. A lot of the comics are in the Very Good range, but most are only in the Good range with a lot looking FR/GD, and a few that have more serious damage.
Collection of 54 Marvel Comics featuring Silver Age REPRINTS of the following runs:
EVERY FANTASTIC FOUR issue by Jack Kirby thru FF #1-53 (plus those original Annuals #1-5 & #7-9).
EVERY DOCTOR STRANGE story by Steve Ditko that was reprinted in comic book form, from Strange Tales #110-111, #114-142, and #145 (Dr. Strange did not appear in ST #112-113, and unfortunately ST #143-144 & #146 were never reprinted in standard comic book format, so those stories are not included.)
MOST stories from the original run of INCREDIBLE HULK #1-6 by Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko (Missing part 1 of 5 from #1, and stories 2-3 from #3).
MANY early IRON MAN stories (including the only two issues with interior art by Jack Kirby (#40 and #43)) from Tales of Suspense #40-46, #48, #51-63, and #66-70
A few CAPTAIN AMERICA stories (3 by Kirby, 1 by Romita) from Tales of Suspense #59-60, #62, and #76
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #3-4, #37, and #42.
The FIRST TALES OF ASGARD by Jack Kirby from Journey Into Mystery #97.
A FEW ANT-MAN stories by Jack Kirby (including his 1st appearance and origin) from Tales to Astonish #27, and #36-37
SEVERAL HUMAN TORCH stories from Strange Tales #127-132
There are even SEVERAL WATCHER stories from Tales of Suspense #47, #49-51, #53, and #55-56
Many key early issues of Fantastic Four were never reprinted in Marvel Collectors Item Classics or Marvels Greatest Comics during the Silver Age because they had already been reprinted in Annuals, so those Annuals have been included to make this collection complete for the FF fan.
