*Marvel: Okay, of all the oddities we’ve offered you over the years, this is one of the oddest: most of Avengers #1, the Lee/Kirby epic which united Marvel’s Mightiest for the first time! This is the real deal, not a reprint or facsimile, but the front and back covers and the front and back interior pages are missing. This means that in addition to being coverless, the splash page and page two of the story are absent, and, while the rest of the story is present, the final two interior ad pages are also gone. Coverless copies of Avengers #1 have been recorded as selling in the hundreds of pounds – hard to believe, but there we are – so we’re asking £100 for this incomplete copy, which, to employ a euphemism commonplace to our rival dealers, is “ripe for restoration”, ahem ahem. Image shows the final page of the story where our heroes ‘get it together’. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
