According to the DC Database Carmine Infantino, Neal Adams and Ira Schnapp did the cover art, so I assume Neal Adams did the inks?

I agree with Allen, I prefer a complete comic and I think this is a great price for a .5

[@dandelatorre1870]

I did buy a low grade Avengers 1 raw for just under $1000. It’s has more vibrant colors than this one has. I had EGS grade and slab it, I got a 1.8.

[@splatcomics3167]

Silver Age comics just over 7 inches across, and 45's / single records 7 inches ... so the record would definitely fit into the slab !

[@SilverNightKyle]

The 1966 Golden Record reprints indeed had 45’s in them, the 33 1/3 lp’s were story ones without comics, done in the 70’s

Thanks Kyle

[@Deadman1957TEB]

Ist cover appearance of Aquaman and Martian Manhunter Alan, not Green Lantern? I do agree with you Mark, if slabbed makes no difference if there's a page missing as long as the cover looks smart, who cares! Rather save up for a higher grade than buying taped up scrap paper!

[@SuddenlyComics]

Correct on both counts Terry !

[@splatcomics3167]

The other world event which may have had an influence on the price of Fantastic Four #52 was the height of the "Black Lives Matter" movement ... was this at the same time as the peak or thereabouts? That movement is less in the news now

[@SuddenlyComics]

Good point !

They lost more than $100 on that Avengers #1 if they used an Auction House (20% commission probably)
