I’ve read a lot of vandalized comics in this block. Good job on those eyes, unknown child from the 60s. I bought both these DDs from a guy at Heroes Con 2019….

DD 16
In 1966, John Romita is only recently returned to Marvel after doing some work for them in the 50s (Notably on a failed revival of Captain America). Now best known for his…
ASM 170
A previous owner rated this one a 6.0 on the backing board. We’ll see about that! (I have no grading experience). That’s sure a Ross Andru cover. A lot of Romite covers…

ASM 149
In the early 90s, they printed a “Marvel Milestone Edition” of this issue, so I finally got to read it. I later secured an original copy just out of some weird desire…
