British Update: First Quenchers with Free Gift Farrago: Fury and Mighty World of Marvel #1 issues
*Marvel UK: Two significant Marvel UK items in our First Quenchers #1 issue event. From 1977, their entry into the war comics field, Fury, with reprints of the eponymous Sergeant (and his Howling Commandos) behind a Dave Gibbons cover. This copy has the bonus of the Free Gift (plastic model warplane) still unassembled and on its framework. Comic is FN, gift is NM, £25 for the pair. And going further back in time, from 1972, Mighty World of Marvel #1, the very first Marvel UK release, with the debuts of the Hulk, the Fantastic Four, and Spider-Man all reprinted within its pages. Generally in very nice condition, only slight tanning at the top edge prevents a higher grade; VG at £40.
