*Alan Class Reprints: A couple of really unusual items from the Alan Class vaults this week. First up, Astounding Stories #150. This copy (and we’re not sure if this applies to all copies) has several pages printed more than once (including part of the Marvel BPM Spragg story). What makes it unique is a sheet of Alan’s handwritten instructions to the printers advising them that the flongs (the plastic or papier mache plates that the pages are printed from) were uncut on presentation and therefore not in the right order, so to make sure they double-checked the correct running order for the pages, an instruction they seem to have ignored! Secondly, Creepy Worlds #73, which reprints the Dr Strange story from Strange Tales #123 by Lee & Ditko, where the Master of the Mystic Arts comes up against Loki, with Thor guest-starring. This copy comes with the full Dr. Strange story in printer’s proof form i.e. black and white copies. Both issues of course are accompanied by a hand-signed certificate from Alan Class himself. Your chance to own a unique piece of Alan Class history!
