They increased the value of other copies.
I know, not complaining about those especially when I sell one.
But when buying? You have to remember the stamp and to make sure it's there....I know a couple people who were really sad when they checked out their bargain Hulk 181s....

Give me your tired, your poor, Your creased and de-stamped comics yearning to be read, The wretched refuse of your teeming longboxes. Send these, the mylar-less, dog-eared books to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!  |

Looks like the cover was sort of inspired by:
At least in Iron Man's position.

It's a homage to Moon Knight's first appearance.  Kane likes to re-use certain positions! |

Man, that's a great cover! Aside from his hammy fist... and those metallic sleeves? What's up with that? |

According to the text on the cover, Archie is wearing a silver-sleeved varsity jacket in the story  |

I'm late to the party, but if it had not been explained, I would have never guessed those FF suits were intended to be black, not blue. Maaaaybe that last panel of Ben. I took it as blue suits with weird black shadowing.

I took it as blue suits with weird black shadowing. Their suits were altered by a trip through the negative zone... When they went in, they were blue with black trim - when they returned, they were black with white trim. I always liked them. |

It's not a comic-book, but this customer feels like venting. Back Issue #121, focusing on Conan and other sword-and-sorcery characters, contains a disappointing amount of factual errors. What's more, when it's not making mistakes, it's pretty light fare. For fans of the characters or of the genre, I would definitely recommend the four issues of Alter Ego devoted to the subject instead.
What took the cake was reading that Arak's adventures were set around the year 500. Arak was at Charlemagne's court, for crying out loud! That figure is several centuries off!
Credit where credit is due, though: the article on the syndicated Conan strip was interesting. I didn't know that there had been friction between Roy Thomas and Len Wein after the latter penned a Conan comic for Power Records without so much as a by-your-leave.

Maybe you should have written the issue. You know your Conan facts. You are wrong about Red Sonja, though. I love the metal bikini. |

Works against wearing that metallic thong. |
