*Marvel: 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 sound, bright, respectable cents copy, with good cover colour and gloss, unmarked, tight staples, nice pages and only minor edge wear. There are a couple of soft creases upper right cover which just break colour, a harder crease across the bottom right corner and a little foxing to the inside covers, but all in all a nice copy.
