Description: Astounding Stories #81 Alan Class, undated (circa 1971). 52 pages. Black and white with color cover. Features the very first non-US English-language printing of Daredevil (vol. 1) #59 (the first appearance of Torpedo), including the cover. Written by Roy Thomas (Conan the Barbarian). Artwork and cover by Gene Colan (Howard the Duck, Tomb of Dracula). A very hard to find, scarce international Silver Age Marvel issue, with a much lower print run than the US edition. An affordable collectible copy. In Fair to Good condition. Light spine roll and a few significant creases, spine cracks, and light tears. Inside pages are white to off-white and clean, and have no writing, highlighting, or marks of any kind. The last several pages have light creasing near the top, possibly a printer defect. Like most Alan Class publications, this issue includes several other short stories from U.S. comic books. Alan Class UK comic books are a bit shorter and wider than US comics of the era, and show more cover art than their US counterparts. Part of a collection of Alan Class UK comic books that will be listed on eBay over the next few weeks. Ships bagged and boarded. From a nonsmoking household.
