*Marvel: It’s not very often at all that we market a comic that’s missing part of the story. It has to be something really special, such as this Good Doctor copy of Fantastic Four #49, the second part of the famous Galactus/Silver Surfer trilogy and the first cover appearance for both these cornerstones of the Marvel Universe. The good bits: a cents copy with central cover image intact and clear; page quality okay with some margin staining. The bad bits: story pages 17 & 18 are missing; centrefold is loose. Story pages 7/8 and 9 are detached but present. Cover is off top staple and there is a fair degree of spine wear with colour breaking creases mainly in bottom left corner. So, this is not a copy you’d want to treasure forever, but with even Poor 0.5 copies selling at over £300, it may fill a gap of sorts for you.
