In Fantastic Four #16 (guest starring the Antman), Doctor Doom met and fought the Fantastic Four.
In FF #17, the next issue (August 1963) the great team of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby pick up the pace with a new threat by Doom as he returns for the next round of battle, using the classic "Divide & Conquer" approach.
This solid and pretty copy has average wear and would likely grade in the range of 3.0-3.5. There is a 1/2 " spine tear at the top left corner, consistent with the grade. The book is complete and solid on both staples; the age of the book is showing in some tanning spots on the interior covers. The back cover (shown ) is clean and bright except for the tanning spots described.
PRICING: the book is priced in line with the 2009 Overstreet Price guide (already nearly a year old) for the book in grade. An early issue of this classic Marvel series, and a great copy to help a collector trying to fill a run!
BUY WITH CONFIDENCE: The front cover colors are brilliant and the book looks better than the conservative grade assigned here. The copy is guaranteed unrestored and unadulterated and if you are not satisfiied you may return it under our 7 day return right.
