Item Description

It's 'THE WORLD'S GREATEST COMIC MAGAZINE'!!! And this issue contains one of its greatest stories, reprinted by Marvel over 20 times!

Here's the lowdown -- Roaming the streets, the Thing is offered a place to stay by a man who has become very interested in him. While Ben sleeps the man uses a device to transfer Thing's powers to himself and goes to the Baxter Building posing as the Thing in hopes of eliminating Reed Richards, based on the misconception that Reed only makes his discoveries for the glory.

When Ben wakes up to realizes that his powers are gone, he tries to warn Reed that the Thing that's with him is an impostor. The team believes that Ben is really the impostor and dismisses him from the Baxter Building.

Reed tests out his newest invention: a portal to the Negative Zone. Traveling in this anti-matter universe, he has the faux "Thing" hold the tether so that he is not lost in the realm. When the tether breaks, the Thing impostor changes his opinion of Reed Richards. He realizes how selfless Reed is and jumps into the Negative Zone portal to save him. Throwing Reed back through the portal into the positive matter universe, he perishes at the energy barrier that separates the positive and negative matter universes. The imposter dies a hero!

This copy has obviously been read and enjoyed over its 55 years! It has a number of rough-edged pages, but the binding is good, all pages are present, and normal toning has not affected the great artwork of Jack Kirby! There is a date stamp on the front cover. We grade this a 4.0 VG which is actually to your advantage - putting this classic issue in your hands for the BEST PRICE for its grade on HipComic! Overstreet says $52 for a 4.0 copy . . . but we're pricing it at $35 . . with our always-L•O•W shipping!
