Buncha thoughts:

— This is the only bona fide Facsimile Edition coming from Marvel in September, but there is a reprint of a classic you’ll want to know about.

— Curious whether Marvel will continue doing Facsimile runs or return to single issues only. They’ve been doing both.

— Obligatory Price Comparison: An unslabbed, high-grade original recently sold on eBay for $129.
