American Update: 1st full Marvel Crossover – Fantastic Four with the Hulk in FF #12
*Marvel: Crossovers of one character into another’s series have become such a staple of the Marvel Universe that it’s hard to recall a time when they were a novelty – but there was such a time, and we have a copy of the first example, in Fantastic Four #12, where the Hulk clashed with the FF for the first time! Contemporary with Amazing Spider-Man #1 (in which the FF also made a brief appearance), but this is the first full-on Marvel crossover. Fantastic Four #12 is an unusually rare issue, and this copy is PR/FA, with heavy back cover scribble and interior scribble on 16 pages, severely so on four. Despite the unfortunate defacements, the cover scene is unimpaired and the rarity and significance of this issue prices it at £100.
