Hi! I’m a collector in the US, and my project over the course of the pandemic has been collecting the entire Marvel UK run in original issues. After much ebaying, facebook group bartering, and money, I’ve gotten down to needing just these two issues (ok, and I’d like a nicer copy of #1, but my priority is the other issues first).
Condition-wise, I’d like the front covers to not have any markings, which I’ve learned was common practice at the time. However I don’t need any of the free gifts.
I understand given that I am in the US, and the general scarcity of the later issues of the run that this will be quite expensive on my end. If any of you are selling please let me know how much you’d want. Because of postage costs, I’d like to get multiple comics in a single shipment if I can.
Thanks so much for hearing me out. I hope to hear from some of you soon.

Hi. If you've managed to get all the other issues of TFUK without any writing on the front cover, that's already a mighty achievement!

Thanks! It’s been quite the adventure, to say the least.

I have a bunch of duplicates of the later issues, but I'd be amazed if they're nameless. By that point I imagine most copies were being ordered for specific customers rather than general sale.
I will dig them out and check at some point. Im easily distracted so feel free to post a reminder if I take to long.

Thanks! What I have noticed is the later into the run you get, the more often newsagents would write on the back cover instead of the front, and I'm totally cool with a marked up back cover!

You might find better luck with #77. The post #300 issues tend to go for a bit more. Alas, I don't have any spares to assist you with.

Seem to be a fair number of #77s on eBay.

I'm missing the one just under a month before that, with Skids & Megatron on the cover, is that there?

Hi, they were more buried than I thought so it'll probably be this weekend before I can get to them. |

Yes. I knew you meant Showdown, but I didn't realise that was issue seventy fucking three.

It's what you deserve for listening to speech at the wrong speed.

How can you listen to a comic at the wrong speed?

Thanks to the kindness of Bogatan, I've secured #325 and #331. And I just grabbed #77 on ebay. So I now only need #329 and #330. If any of you have them please let me know!

Got my copies of 325 and 331 in. Thanks again to Bogatan.
Still looking for those last 2 issues!
