Not long arrived at Castel Crivens, the Facsimile Edition of Fantastic Four #50, the third and final part of what's collectively referred to as The Galactus Trilogy. I've actually got the original '60s issue of this number, but these facsimiles are hard to resist. In reverse order, I've also thrown in #s 48 & 49, even though I've shown them previously. It just seemed a shame to separate them, which is why I've include them all together in this post. Did you read these issues back in the day, Crivs, and if so, just what did you think of them? Reminiscences welcome.

According to Mike's Amazing World Of Comics, FF #50 came out on February 10th 1966 which was exactly one week before I was born.
ReplyDeleteSo that means ol' Norrin Radd was the herald of Colin as well as Galactus, eh?
DeleteToday is 50 years since the first issue of The Avengers & The Savage Sword Of Conan came out which was of course the first of the dreaded mergers between Marvel weeklies with plenty more to come. I'd have thought that POTA would be a more obvious fit for SSOC but what do I know - the newly merged comic lasted for another year anyway and I'm glad Conan's adventures were able to continue.
ReplyDeleteOr Marvel could've merged it with The Super-Heroes, CJ, as both mags came out in the same week. Of course, maybe TSH wasn't selling too well (it lasted for only 50 issues), which is why SSSOC was subsumed by Avengers, which perhaps needed a boost to its circulation more than POTA at the time.
