*Marvel: From the Good Doctor Collection this week: the Fantastic Four certainly had some classic covers within the number range #40-60, and none more so than #55, which depicted the rooftop encounter between the Thing and the Silver Surfer, with a gorgeous deep purple sky above the cityscape background. The Surfer was very much the hit breakout character at Marvel at the time, and Stan and Jack lost no opportunity to exploit that. This is a reasonable cents copy, where the rich cover colours really pop, with firm, tight staples and near white pages. There is a shallow impact mark creasing the bottom of the spine and some spidery colour-breaking creasing and handling wear along the right edge. A couple of long creases go the length of the comic through the body of the Thing, breaking colour part of the way.
