Marvel Comics · Tales to Astonish #90 · April 1967 · $0.12 · 32 pages
Grade: GD+ 2.5
Edited by Stan Lee. Indicia publisher: Marvel Comics Group.
Cover by Marie Severin with lettering by Artie Simek.
This issue delivers the classic Tales to Astonish split-book format with separate Sub-Mariner and Hulk adventures. The Sub-Mariner story centers on Byrrah, Namor's longtime Atlantean rival, as the primary antagonist — a character conflict that reaches back to the golden age of Marvel storytelling.
Marie Severin handles both cover and interior art duties, showcasing the distinctive visual style that made her one of Marvel's most reliable artists during this period. Her work on both the underwater Atlantean sequences and the Hulk's terrestrial rampage demonstrates the versatility that kept her busy across Marvel's entire line.
From the final year of Tales to Astonish's dual-feature format before both characters graduated to their own solo titles — capturing Marvel's transition from anthology publisher to superhero universe architect.
Condition GD+ 2.5 — Above average Good. Significant wear but slightly better than a straight GD. Presentable space filler.. Noting: multiple spine stress marks with color breaks along the entire spine, corner wear on all four corners with minor rounding, surface soiling and tanning throughout the cover, small crease on front cover upper right area, and water staining. <
We use what the scientists are calling artificial intelligence to research and write our descriptions — it gives us more time to add books to our website and provide you with a wider array of inventory. We think Klaatu would approve. Details are verified but the robot does slip up. We're not infallible. Every book is graded by a human collector who has actually held it. If anything ever looks off, reach on out at robopictocomics@gmail.com.
