First Editions.

Milestones from the Silver and Bronze ages of comics. The comic magazine format was not subject to the rules of the Comics Code Authority, and thus were able to feature more violent and sexy stories. Magazines in this lot feature the first appearance of Marvel's Man-Thing, and the first appearance of Bobbi Morse (AKA Mockingbird, now a character on TV's popular Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D) as the Huntress.

Mostly minor wear to wrappers, His Name Is...Savage! has a few small tears at the staples; pages yellowing; mostly near fine or better.
