It not only contains the best presentation of AF #15 since 1962, it also contains high-quality scans of the original Steve Ditko art for it, sans cover.<br /><br />Unfortunately, ASM #1 isn't of the same high-quality, but, so far, there's no relatively recent mag or book in print that has a better reproduction of it.

I would want AF#15, Annuals, Spectacular mags, Marvel S-H's 14, secondly ,the art as close to the original.John Pitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08035300858247327343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-40992583514528547182013-11-24T15:24:37.367+00:002013-11-24T15:24:37.367+00:00The best Masterworks available at the moment, JP, ...The best Masterworks available at the moment, JP, are the more recent softcover editions. In the main, they offer the most faithful reproductions of Marvel strips so far - as do the more recent Omnibus volumes. There are a few pages on occasion that could be better, but you'd need to have seen the original comics in most cases to spot the difference.<br /><br />If there's any particular Masterworks or Omnibus books you're thinking of buying, just give me the details and I'll try and keep you right.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-71168769759824716872013-11-24T15:08:23.420+00:002013-11-24T15:08:23.420+00:00This is why we need people like you to inform us w...This is why we need people like you to inform us which is the best edition to get!
