*Marvel: Being a childhood DC fan, I was a latecomer to Marvel, so Fantastic Four #39 & #40 were among the earliest issues I read. I remember them making a big impression despite my lack of knowledge of FF history. Deprived of their powers, the FF come up against their greatest foe, with their only ally a blind super-hero. A Blind Man Shall Lead Them – what a great title for FF #39, and what a superb brooding cover to boot. And the Thing’s hand to hand combat with Doom in #40, after he suffers the misery of not being human again. This was truly great stuff. The Good Doctor provides.
PICTURED: FANTASTIC FOUR

#40 VG p £55 Pence stamped. Decent copy with good colour, nice staples and supple off-white pages. Some creasing, mainly at spine and edges, breaking colour, corner blunting, but nothing horrible.
