This listing is for Fantastic Four 243 from May 1982 and 244 from June 1982.  I am the original owner of both these comics.  They have been well cared for and in storage since 1993.  Your satisfaction is guaranteed!  

Issue 243 - The cover is glossy and bright with great color.  It has only 3 flaws, a very faint crease by the bottom of the top staple and a tiny crease in each of the right hand extreme corners, top and bottom.  The interior pages are yellowed with vivid color.  This is a great copy of this issue!  

Issue 244 - The cover is very glossy.  There are some creases along the spine of various sizes from the bottom of the top staple down to about half an inch below the word Galactus.  The right edge of the cover has handling wear, especially in the middle, and the top right corner has a couple of creases.  The inside pages are yellowed with beautiful color.  Pages 11 through 20 have a one inch bend in the paper which starts two inches from the spine and goes vertically down for about an inch and a half.  This is a defect of the printing process and not due to mishandling of the comic.  Please examine the scans carefully.  In spite of the problems with this comic, it is still an excellent reading copy of this issue.  It is being included in this listing with Issue 243 as a courtesy because it completes that story.  

PLEASE NOTE: Comics can no longer be sent First Class because of the cardboard protection included in the envelope. So I am now sending all comic book purchases via USPS Ground Advantage. Shipping & Handling for 1-2 comic books will be $6.70, add 55 cents for 3rd comic, then 25 cents each additional comic. All shipments are automatically insured for $100.
