*Marvel: Two gems from the Good Doctor Avengers selection lead our foray into his treasure trove this week. Avengers #2 pits our heroes up against the Space Phantom, is the issue where the Hulk cuts out (he didn’t hang around long!) and presents Hank Pym for the first time in his Giant-Man guise in the title. In #3, the Hulk returns (that was quick!), but this time an an ally of the Sub-Mariner and an adversary of the assemblers. Early issues of key Marvel titles are getting harder and harder to get at affordable prices, but here are two such examples within relatively easy financial reach.
PICTURED: AVENGERS
#2 VG p £280 Pence printed, great cover scene with bright colours, tarnished only by a very small tear at mid-spine around Giant-Man’s elbow, and a similar sized tear near Thor’s Hammer hand with no loss. 1 cm split at bottom spine. Staples tight and firm, decent pages, only slight blunting at corners. The back cover has a ragged corner off the top which looks like it was caused by some type of moisture damage from which there are stains but no rippling. A copy that presents well. SOLD
#3 GD p £140 Pence printed, a worn copy with lots of small colour-breaking creases at edges; some page edges are ragged due to several centre wraps being loose from staples, but an honest copy with no cover markings. SOLD
