The What If series was the brainchild of Roy Thomas who had recently stepped down as Editor-in-Chief for Marvel Comics. He wanted to tell stories that were out of continuity to the main Marvel Universe at that time. He hoped to tell creative stories that did not require the collaboration that a Marvel series would normally demand.
The What If series was my favorite comic growing up. I vividly remember reading #31 "What If Wolverine Had Killed the Hulk?" The Hulk was my favorite character and seemingly all-powerful. Seeing him dead and defeated was just unthinkable to my mind. I loved to see other alternative possibilities in the series.
Over the years it became more possible to seriously collect the series. Here is my attempt to collect and preserve a high quality set!
Collecting "What If" comics from the original series comes with some challenges, which can be frustrating at times, but also fun! The low census numbers for 9.8 and 9.6 makes them somewhat difficult to find. Thank you to those who have helped contribute to this set and aided my search for these treasures.
