*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 nice pence stamped copy with good cover colour and gloss, tight and flat with good staples, an unmarked cover and only minor edge wear and corner blunting; one tiny Marvel chip out right edge.
