American Comics Update: The Good Doctor Collection/Mighty Marvel Firsts: Classic Tiger Shark two-parter in Sub-Mariner #5 & #6
*Marvel: From the Good Doctor Collection this week, two nicely-graded copies of classic Sub-Mariner issues featuring the artwork of John Buscema at his very best. The villainous Tiger Shark debuted in #5 and his story played out into #6 (with its dynamic cover). Many copies of #5 we’ve seen have faded colour on the interior pages (presumably the ink was running low at the printers!), but not this one. These early issues of the Silver Age Namor’s series are something really special.
PICTURED: SUB-MARINER BOTH SOLD
#5 FN/VF £100 Glossy and vibrant, with rich colours. Square corners with only very minor edge wear. Staples firm at spine and centrefold. Pages are supple off-white. There is what appears to be a vertical reading crease near the spine between the staples which very faintly breaks colour.
#6 VF £90 Glossy and vibrant, with rich colours. Staples firm at spine and centrefold. Pages are supple off-white. Only the tinest signs of wear, mainly minor rounding at top and bottom spine.
