Description: Splendid shiny LIKE NEW copy of 2006 OOP hard to find RARITY. No problems it's like it just came out of the factory. Another round of speculative imaginary stories (because of course the regular stories are REAL, right?). In this one such questions are asked as WHAT IF SOMEONE ELSE HAD BECOME NOVA -- a kind of socioeconomic hypothesis imagining people from different backgrounds (including Peter Parker and a cigar-chomping criminal) had the sacred powers of NOVA? Consequences. (Nice sequence with art by Carmine Infantino and another by a young George Perez being inked by Tom Palmer which is a combination that should have been revisited more frequently.) HOWLING COMMANDOS IN SPACE is self-evident, but the art is by Herb Trimpe inked by Joe Sinnott, a beautiful classic combination.WHAT IF SPIDER-WOMAN, GHOST RIDER and CAPTAIN MARVEL HAD REMAINED VILLAINS? is a somewhat recondite speculation but it has Carmine Infantino on art duties again so who cares? He's in his element drawing Spider-woman and Ghost Rider having worked on both their solo books. How you say candy for the eyes mon cher. WHAT IF DOCTOR STRANGE HAD BEEN A DISCIPLE OF DORMAMMU has some nice cameos by Doctor Doom, Eternity but ends up saying, "Well, he becomes a hero either way." A bit of an anti-climax. You can't keep a good man down I guess.The last two revisit classic storylines of yesteryear, Spider-Man's origin and the Kree Skull War. Sold from comic fanboy’s prized personal collection, reluctantly downsizing, nice well-cared for copies of rare / out of print books. As a collector and comics lover myself I know how disappointing and frustrating inaccurate or misrepresenting descriptions can be. It's easier to candidly document and/or describe any flaws to save everybody's time. NO REMAINDER MARKS unless expressly stated.
