*Marvel: 1965’s Fantastic Four #45 saw the culmination of a long-running subplot – and the introduction of a whole new family of supporting super-stars. Since #36, the mysterious Madame Medusa had been a thorn in the side of the FF, and latterly, from #44, she had been pursued by the equally mysterious Gorgon. Now, the pair’s true origin, and their royal heritage, was revealed, as the monarchs of the Inhumans made their debut in these two issues. Black Bolt, Crystal, Triton, Karnak and Lockjaw rounded out the Royal Family tree, and became long-running allies of the Fantastic Four. New CGC copies of both #45 and #46 in this week. #45 is 4.5 VG+ and  #46 (the first full Black Bolt, having teased us with a cameo in the preceding issue) is 7.5 VF-. Both are cents copies, universal unrestored blue label. Great covers on these issues.
