*Marvel: The history of Rama-Tut, the ‘Pharaoh From The Future’ is a convoluted one that we don’t have time to go into detail about here, but you can google to find out lots more. Suffice it for us to say that he is one of what are becoming known as the ‘Kang Variants’, alternate versions of the villainous Master of Time set to be the next Biggest Bad in the MCU. Rama-Tut first appeared in Fantastic Four #19, in a superb story by Stan Lee & Jack Kirby set in ancient Egypt. Sadly, our copy listed this week is not a great one. It is pence stamped, with the original cents price blacked out by an ugly looking stamp (see scan); there are also book shop stamps elsewhere on the cover and the first ‘a’ plus the ‘o’ in the logo have their centres filled in with pen. The top staple is off (at the front only), but the edge wear and corner creasing isn’t too bad, although the comic is a little limp and tired. Page quality is okay. We expect prices are set to rise on this comic.
