*Marvel: From the Good Doctor Collection this week: It had already been a busy time for Marvel’s newest team, the merry mutant X-Men, when, in issue #9 of their own series, they faced up against the might of the Avengers, although, truth be told, it was more of a skirmish here than a battle royale, as the real threat in this issue was the mysterious Lucifer. Still, there’s nothing quite like Lee & Kirby pitting two teams of their creations against each other! This is a decent pence stamped copy with a good cover (a few short soft creases which do not break colour) and fairly minor edge and spine wear and corner blunting. Staples tight at spine and centrefold and excellent off-white pages.
