*Marvel: From 1963 and 1964, the first two classic Fantastic Four Annuals in mid-grade. In the lead story in #1, the Sub-Mariner and Atlantis invade New York in a 37 page epic. There’s also an expansion of the FF’s first meeting with Spidey and a reprint of their origin from their first issue, plus a rogues’ gallery and other features. A copy with some spine wear and a slightly grubby cover, but the squarebound spine is almost intact but for a split of just 1.5 cm at the bottom; good staples and decent page quality. There are a couple of very minor colour-breaking creases across the bottom right cover corner. Annual #2 features as its lead the origin of Dr. Doom, as well as a 25 page all-new tussle with the monarch of Latveria and a reprint of his first appearance from FF #5, as well as another rogues’ gallery and pin-ups. This copy is a bit brighter, with the same size lower spine split, but much less spine wear; excellent staples and decent page quality. One minor colour-breaking crease across the bottom right cover corner. Both these Annuals are less common.
