*Marvel: Our special Hulk feature continues this week with a favourite issue. Sentinel of Galactus, Norrin Radd, aka the Silver Surfer, became a hugely popular guest character following his early appearances in the Fantastic Four, and one of his most sought-after guest-shots – still prior to the premier issue of his ongoing series – is Tales to Astonish #93, in which the Surfer and the Incredible Hulk face off, courtesy of Stan Lee and Marie Severin. Cosmic power and epic action with a poignant ending – and a Sub-Mariner story, too! Even though it’s the Surfer’s twelfth appearance, it’s his first crossover with the wider Marvel Universe, outside of the Fantastic Four series. This is a decent pence printed mid-grade copy with good colour and some residual gloss. Staples are tight and firm at spine and centrefold and pages are a nice off-white. Minor edge wear; a couple of spine ticks in the masthead box area extend across it in creases which only break colour at the very spine itself. The centre right edge and bottom right corner have small patches where the colour has eroded, but these barely affect the overall appearance of the cover image. Corner blunting is minor. To Be Hulkinued…
