*Marvel: One of the most sought-after story arcs of the 1960s is the trinity of Fantastic Four issues which introduced the Silver Surfer, a cosmic-powered being the equal of the combined FF… and the Surfer’s master, Galactus, an entity of even more monstrous might! Both became major figures in the Marvel Universe, with the Surfer repenting his role as Galactus’ herald and choosing the side of justice, while Galactus’ insatiable hunger drives him ever onwards to heinous acts. We have all three parts of this epochal story back in stock: Fantastic Four #48 is VG, cover and body of book detached from lower staple and a small (approx. 1/2″) lower spine split; the cover image is bright and vibrant with unfaded colours, corners sharp with minimal edge wear. #49 is FN – the first cover appearances of both the Silver Surfer and Galactus, this is an outstanding copy with only two minor flaws, a light diagonal cover crease upper right corner, and a ’10c’ sticker which has been superimposed on the original 12c price. Rounding out the trilogy, #50 concludes the saga and features the first appearance of Wyatt Wingfoot, long-time ally of the FF (and in later years main squeeze of the Sensational She-Hulk), who was the first significant Native American character of the Marvel Universe. This is a VG+ copy, with a light vertical crease, only intermittently breaking cover colour, and a tiny chip out of the right cover edge. All three of these milestone issues are cents copies, with no UK pricing. To summarise: FF #48 VG £600, #49 FN £450 and #50 VG+ £125. Shown below are front and back covers and splash page of #48 and front covers of #49 & #50; high resolution images of #48 are available on request.
