*Marvel: ‘We’re always happy to see giant panty-wearing monsters’ is a phrase one seldom expects to hear, but it’s certainly true here at 30th Century, as the pre-hero Marvel anthologies – usually featuring at least one enormous critter in a giant gusset bent on world domination – are spiralling ever upward in popularity and collectability. We have new entries for Journey Into Mystery (#75 – Lo-Karr. Bringer Of Doom), Strange Tales (#90 – Orrgo the Unconquerable) and Tales To Astonish (#25 – The Creature From Krogarr). Art by Kirby and Ditko abounds.
