A popular one, for sure…

Buncha thoughts:
— I have to admit I remember nothing about the story. But it’s all about the cover, isn’t it.
— Another one that fans will love in foil.
— Obligatory Price Comparison: This one is more valuable than you might think. I saw a copy in a Boston-area comics shop recently and the tag made me cock an eye. An unslabbed, NM/NM+ first printing recently sold on eBay for $660.
— As I said up top, there’s plenty more where that came from, so dig the links below!

Awesome!! Used to have the original print. Always regretted parting with it. Will definitely get one of these.
Foil variant? Will have to think on that.
