British Update: Quirky Corner: Marvelous Alan Class – (Most of) Tales of Suspense #39 in Sinister Tales #23
*Alan Class Reprints: Well, here’s an oddity. Alan Class issues with reprints of the early Marvel super-hero sagas tend to go for higher prices, as very often they’re actually the first reprintings of the stories. Here we have Sinister Tales #23, which reprints Iron Man’s origin from the illustrious Tales of Suspense #39, including a signed Alan Class certificate. However, while the Iron Man tale – and a Lee & Ditko mystery short, “Little Green Men” – are complete, most of the rest of this issue’s contents have been cut out of the comic, presumably having been deemed irrelevant by a space-saving previous owner! What remains would otherwise pass as Fine condition, and it is historically important, but unlike most of our inventory this is being sold as an incomplete item, so let the buyer be aware. We are selling this for £30, and frankly a bit cheeky asking even that, but in a world where individual slabbed pages from Hulk #181 sell regularly, well, who are we to fight the insanity? SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
