Here is a nice Copper Age Marvel comic book lot of Todd McFarlane artwork issues which were originally on comic book shop shelves & newsstands many years/decades ago starting on Tuesday, November 17th, 1987....that's almost 37 years ago! This classic Marvel Comics fun comes to you from a smoke-free home stored properly in new, changed bags & backing boards over many years. I am the original owner who bought these books when I was 16 from a news stand in Lennox Square shopping mall in the Buckhead area of Atlanta, GA and others in this lot at a comic book store in Atlanta (also in Buckhead), GA called Oxford Books II. These comic books have been stored in a bag and backing board since the day that I bought them. This listing is like going back in time to 1987/1988 with a time machine and buying these books new yourself! The comic book bags were changed over the decades.

These comic books are freshly bagged, boarded and will be shipped to you via media mail for $5.00 with great care in safe, secure comic book cardboard packaging with reinforced protection inside of the package. I'll ship the day you make payment (except for Sunday and as long as your payment is in by 2:00 PM eastern/Atlanta, GA time)
I'm not a comic book dealer, so I don't professionally grade comics. The golden rule is how I operate. I'm a collector who wants to sell these for funds to buy a particular issue of The Fantastic Four. Payment is kindly requested within 2 days of the close of the auction or the runner-up bidder will receive a "second chance offer" (or the item will be relisted). I always ship the NEXT DAY payment is made by a buyer unless the sale ends on a Saturday or the day before a Holiday when the post office is closed in which case I will ship your item right away once the post office re-opens.
Thanks for looking & best of luck! - "The Nostalgic Podblast" show & eBay shop.
I also am the unofficial creator of the "Madcap" character in Marvel comics and I was the original owner of the "Angry Girlfriend Variant" of Amazing Spider-Man issue #14 from 1964 which my former friend vandalized with magic marker in 1990.
Thanks for looking and good luck to all bidders/fellow collectors/investors! Again, if you want additional photos, just ask!
