*Power Comics: Sadly, length and heat haven’t had very much to do with the Great British Summer of ’24. However, at least with can go out in a blaze of nostalgia with the one and only Fantastic Summer Special from 1968. This bumper-sized package contains (in black and white, of course, but with colour pin-ups) the origin of Daredevil from Daredevil #1, Thor vs Hercules from Journey Into Mystery King Size Annual #1, Spider-Man meets Dr. Strange from Amazing Spider-Man Annual #2, Torch meets Iceman from Strange Tales #120 plus features and a few UK shorts. This is really tough to find in any grade and this is only a low grade example, with heavy rust to the staples leading to cover detachment and a loose centrefold. Plus a bit of spine roll and some minor tears to a few interior margins. There’s also some bottom spine wear and a few foxing-like stains. But it’s complete and you’ll probably wait a long time to find a high grade copy.
