Jack Kirby cover/art; 1st app of the Skrulls; Last 10c Issue; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 8 (CBI)Who knew that the need for a faddish, sci-fi based villain would result in storylines and mythology spanning across decades? It wasn't as though Lee and Kirby were consciously creating a pop-culture world in the rocky days of early Silver Age Marvel, they were just trying to make fun comics that would sell and attract readers -- but, by following the hyperactive lead of their imaginative audience, they developed a language and style and mythos that carries on to this day, in the movies and beyond. This first appearance of the Skrulls hints at the grandeur and go-for-broke glee of the Marvel Universe to come.Looking like it was printed yesterday, you need to check out those bright tones on this book’s cover, the yellow is so sunny you need to wear sunglasses to look directly at this comic. The hues on the Thing’s body are something to behold, as well as the flames surrounding Johnny Storm and the subtle grays in the Skrull uniforms. This is an impressive copy of this famous issue, whose profile has shot through the roof since the Kree/Skrull saga has been added into the mix at the MCU. A super-important comic, in high-grade condition, which is sure to be a hit at auction.
