Fantastic Four (1961 1st Series) Golden Record Reprint 1COMIC CBCS 7.5 Comic Only Variant

Paper: White

Golden Records Reprint.

Label #22-080A578-005

COMIC ONLY, NO RECORD - The Fantastic Four Golden Record Reprint (28-pages, full-color, standard comic format) was produced in 1966 and reprints Fantastic Four #1. Although the reprint, at first glance, looks like the original, there are differences. There is no cover price on the reprint, and the back cover, as well as the inside covers, promote the Golden Record LP series of which the Fantastic Four #1 is a part. The four Marvel Golden Record LPs came with a reprint comic, and each originally sold for $2.49 (record and comic together). In addition to the Fantastic Four LP, there were records produced for Thor (Journey into Mystery #83), Avengers #4; and Amazing Spider-Man #1, all with their own reprint comic. We bought these sets when they first appeared and can still remember following the story in the comic reprint while the record played and the narrator read the story to us. Just to make sure we didn't lose our place, he would say "Turn page," each time he finished the last panel on a page.

Unbagged. Direct Edition. Rise of the Midnight Sons: Part 6 of 6 - Guest-starring Nightstalkers, Blade, Frank Drake, Hannibal King, Morbius and Doctor Strange. Written by Howard Mackie. Art by Andy Kubert and Joe Kubert. Story continued from Nightstalkers (1992) #1. Danny Ketch's spirit walks a path between dimensions seeking to return to life. Meanwhile, after an unsuccessful battle against the Midnight Sons in Boston, the demon Lilith orders her offspring Portal to teleport her and her Lilin children to Greenland, and the remains of the Leviathan within which Atlantean sorcerers trapped her for millennia. Once there, Lilith begins a spell to return the rest of her long-lost Lilin to earth. Having detected her actions, Dr. strange gathers the Midnight Sons, teleporting them to the Leviathan site. As they attacked the Lilin, Lilith opens in interdimensional rift in her own body, and reaches in, snatching Dan sold from the void and pulling it to Earth, transformed into a monstrous Lilin. Filled with battle lust, he attacks both sides until Ghost Rider restrains him, then throws him back through the rift. The Midnight Sons slay almost all the Lilin, and Ghost Rider forcibly folds Lilith into her own body's rift, causing her to seemingly explode.

Direct Edition.

Label #21-2739D81-007

"Transformations in Pain!" Guest starring Daredevil. Written by Howard Mackie. Art by Bret Blevins and Fred Fredericks. The demonic succubus visits Henry Bronson, sleeping in a Hell's Kitchen homeless shelter, feeding off his life force as a prelude to targeting ghost rider. His dying agonies wake the next beds resident, Calvin Zabo, who rants about killing everyone when he becomes Mr. Hyde again. Meanwhile, in Caretaker's basement Dan and Caretaker watch Suicide's skeleton healing. Dan leaves to head home, but is attacked outside by Succubus; transforming into Ghost Rider, he drives her off, then changes back to Dan. No longer sure what triggers his changes, or who attacked him, and suspecting Caretaker might know, he turns to go back inside, but the basement doorway has vanished. At that moment a weakened Succubus tries to drain a derelict outside the shelter, but Daredevil intervenes. She flees inside, choosing to feed off the Zabo instead, inadvertently triggering his change in to Hyde, and he throws her out the window. Witnessing this, Daredevil scoops up the stunt Succubus and flees, with Hyde pursuing. Dan spots the running battle, but it struck by flying debris, and when Hyde turns his attention towards the fallen biker, Daredevil drop Succubus to defend Dan. As Hyde and Daredevil clash, Succubus attacks Dan, who changes back and forth to Ghost Rider as she drains him. Leaping away from Hyde, Daredevil targets Succubus, and when Hyde tries to attack them both, Ghost Rider intercepts; unfazed by Hyde's blows, Ghost Rider ends the bout with his penance stare, then becomes Dan again. Daredevil stuns Succubus, and helps Dan escape as the police arrive. As the cops close in, Succubus drains Hyde's energy, insisting that Ghost Rider must belong to her master, Nightmare. 32 pages, FC. Cover price $1.75.
