Owner's Description

1st appearance of Marvel Man (Wendell Vaughn, later becomes Quasar). Texas Twister, Blue Streak & Vamp app. Some Captain America flights of fancy, as the adrenaline hero comes to face with a "Marvel Man" appearance! Strange things are in the works for this the bronze age, and not everyone knows what will become of the spark in interest. Marvel Man goes on to become Quasar, which I have when he changes his name in the collection, it only makes "sense" that I have the original iteration as well. Nicely captured in CGC 8.5, this VF+ will fit nicely in my collection! Picked up in 2023 for a little more than I could have paid, but it was in trade to the LCS Awesome Comics. I just needed some time to offload and recoup from collecting "moderns" and to get back to my roots of consecutive and consistent appearances and grades. I'll take it for the win, here in 2023! I bought it already slabbed, but it appears that it had a bad press job when submitted according to the grader's notes.

Complete with a back cover picture of, Joe Jusko Masterpiece Collection an art book only, "Quasar!" Got to love those childhood copies, sometimes they're useful and after we admired them when young!

Grader Notes:
crushed/flattened spine;
light bends to cover;
light spine stress lines to cover;
small crease right top of front cover.
