Item Description

It's 'THE WORLD'S GREATEST COMIC MAGAZINE'!!! - - and this issue is one of the Greatest - #26 from 1964 - Stan Lee and Jack Kirby deliver a great story continuing last issue's HULK vs.THING fisticuffs and the giant crossover with The AVENGERS!!!

Following his defeat in issue #25 while battling the HULK, the THING pulls himself up and starts the fight anew as an army of soldiers and news crews watch. Realizing that the HULK is still on a rampage, JOHNNY STORM flames on and heads back into battle, despite his injury, and tries to lend BEN a hand.

When the HULK swats the two away, the soldiers step in by firing a mortar shell at the HULK, but he easily deflects the shot. The HULK has retreated into the subway, where he commandeers a train to ride toward AVENGERS MANSION. When he arrives, he finds that the Avengers are waiting for him, and a battle breaks out.

The Hulk is ambushed by the AVENGERS and the FANTASTIC FOUR AT the same time, however, the two groups are uncoordinated and get in each other's way. After a brief squabble about who is best suited to stop the HULK, both the AVENGERS and the FANTASTIC FOUR agree to work together. This time, the two teams proved too much for the HULK and he falls into the Hudson River, and is swept away!

This is the first MARVEL comic to carry Stan Lee's mention of a 'NO PRIZE' - which became the ultimate goal for Marvel Maniacs to achieve!

This copy of Fantastic Four #26 does have a good binding, but many pages have ragged edges and normal toning after 57 years! There is a bit of handwriting at the top of the splash page, some nicks and tiny tears on a few pages, and a bit of spine roll. We conservatively grade this a 4.0 VG. Overstreet says this issue is valued at $130 in this condition . . but WE say you can purchase it for $100, with FREE shipping!! It's the most affordable FF #26 here on HipComic!

Sounds close to the WORLD"S GREATEST BARGAIN!
