Thanks to the many friends who have recommended this to me over the years. Snagged a nice copy (mildew excluded - wiped the whole book down with alcohol wipes when I unpacked it! 😬) from AbeBooks. Looking forward to this, likely in January.

I was telling @comicfoil.bsky.social earlier about my holy grail, passed on when I was 9 because I thought it was too big an ask of my mom. I obtained it via eBay several years ago, and upon unwrapping and smelling the 45-year old newsprint, wept for a minute.

Trick is, we have several inches of snow arriving on the weekend, so I’ll need to bag whatever I can ahead of that. Sure glad all the trees are 2-3 weeks late this year.

May as well get my Hulk on.
Interesting tale about this cover - from the GCD: It appears copied from a John Byrne drawing (1979 Marvel Hulk Calendar); positions, clothes, and details almost identical to the Byrne drawing. JB states he was not aware at the time that his drawing was used.

I’m team-teaching a presentation this morning at our community college, representing our local museum. In recognition of Native American Heritage Month, we’re discussing indigenous peoples and their removal, and the Native American Graves Protection & Repatriation Act as it relates to our holdings.
