*Marvel: It had already been a busy time for Marvel’s newest team, the merry mutant X-Men, when, in issue #9 of their own series, they faced up against the might of the Avengers for the first time, although, truth be told, it was more of a skirmish here than a battle royale, as the real threat in this issue was the mysterious Lucifer. Still, there’s nothing quite like Lee & Kirby pitting two teams of their creations against each other! This Bute Collection copy is pence stamped, solid with great colours and good reflectivity. There is minor spine wear and very minor handling wear, with tight, firm staples and crisp white pages.
