    I've got True Believers reprints of the Spider-Man and Giant-Size Avengers mags, and I think I've got The Brave & The Bold, but will have to check to make sure. Regarding the Action Comics issue, I remember looking through this back in the '70s, but deciding not to buy it - a decision I later regretted. However, I've got it in a collected edition, called Superman In The '70s. Can't recall ever having any of the other mags you show.

      Kid, I want to apologize for my part in our dust-up a few months ago. Let me invite you back to the Dojo if you'd want to do that.

    I'm after a cheap reading copy ( or facsimilie, if available) of the FF issue where Sue and Reed tied the knot.

      There's one on eBay now for £1.99, with £2.10 for p&p. The seller is parick_66. Type True Believers The Wedding Of Reed And Sue into the eBay search box and then scroll just over halfway down.

    It was nifty back in the day when weddings of heroes were big events. The Garcia-Lopez cover for the Action Comics cover is just plain magnificent. I always thought it was a bit weird when Janet revealed that she'd known Yellowjacket's real identity all along. I mean it makes sense, but to go and marry an apparent madman was offbeat to say the least.

    It was certainly a different time Rip when comics seemed to be more fun . Could Garcia-lopez draw anything that wasn't wonderful? The Janet, Yellowjacket thing was strange but a fun storyline I also thought that making theirs an abusive relationship was a bad move, then agsin Wasp and Giant/Ant-man were 2 of my favourites
