Another nice new Facsimile Edition that every true Marvel fan should have, so buy yours while they're available and before they shoot up in price on eBay. Would've been better with the barcode box on the back cover (same as DC) and as you can see below, the indicia is in the wrong place as it would've been under the ad on the inside cover when originally published back in the '60s (hence the space under the ad next to the splash page)*. That aside, it's still worth having, but I can't help but wish they'd print it on a high quality newsprint paper (again, like DC) as opposed to the slightly glossy paper they use. At least they've included the 'Continued After Next Page...' lines, which help capture the feel of the period. Can't wait 'til they do Journey Into Mystery #83.
(*Incidentally, eventually, Marvel moved the indicia to under the splash page in their mags, but at this time it was still placed under the interior cover ad.)
And look below - my original copy of issue #1, and below that, both issues side-by-side.
