A relic from a long time ago and a galaxy not so far away. Creased, faded, and gloriously battle-worn. It’s survived decades of shelf shuffles and house moves. And like the Millennium Falcon, “May not look like much, but she’s got it where it counts.” 😂

Hard to believe this was just a patch of mud three and a half years ago.
Now it’s my little slice of calm up here in northern Carlisle, golden leaves, quiet breeze, and not a single negative thought for a short while. 🍁🍂

Just spent 27 hours straight making it—fueled by coffee, energy drinks, and questionable life choices. Not a workflow I recommend.

This Fantastic #49, January 1968 comic was my door way to the Marvel Universe for me. As a reprint of American Marvel it holds zero collectors value, but I snagged it at a school jumble sale in the 70’s, so it’s priceless to me.
