Item Description

Here's TALES TO ASTONISH #90 , which being an even-numbered issue, showcases The Sub-Mariner on the cover. (The Hulk got his moment in the spotlight on odd-numbered issues!)

In "To Be Beaten By Byrrah", Namor's cousin Byrrah wins the favor of the populace of Atlantis as well as the Atlantean council by belittling the regime of the Sub-Mariner as violent and unstable. He challenges Namor to single combat for the right to rule and no one is more surprised than the avenging son when his powers desert him during the fight and Byrrah handily wins! Art by Sub-Mariner's creator, Bill Everett.

In "The Abomination!", Bruce Banner surrenders himself to Gamma base and tries to kill himself with radiation to stop the Hulk's rampant destruction. Stopped before he can use his gamma machine, the machine is instead used by a foreign spy who is transformed into THE ABOMINATION. More powerful than even the Hulk, Abomination beats Hulk down and kidnaps Betty as he escapes from the base. Great artwork by Gil Kane!

This is a super-nice and supple copy of this 53-year old comic that holds a key position in Marvel chronology with its debut of The Abomination, with normal toning but no foxing, no stress lines, or edge wear. We feel confident in grading this a 5.0 VG/FN for this issue. Overstreet feels $28 is appropriate - we feel $20 plus L•O•W shipping is even more appropriate!
