*Marvel: A staggering array of inventive villains graced the X-Men’s first twenty or so issues: the Vanisher, the Blob, Magneto, Mastermind, the Stranger – each with an unusual twist to their abilities which suited the off-beat atmosphere of our mutant chums’ adventures. One such was Unus, introduced in the X-Men’s eighth issue, a villain who was literally untouchable – any force directed against him would be repelled, meaning that he could commit crimes in plain sight with impunity. Our mutant heroes were stymied, until – ah, but that would be telling! We have a nice pence stamped flat copy, with an unmarked cover and a clean white background. No marks or creases and some gloss remaining. Staples are firm at spine and centrefold. Minor corner blunting; nice off-white to cream pages with some tanning to inside covers, but no trace of brittleness.
