Fantastic Four (1961 1st Series) Golden Record Reprint 1COMIC CBCS 7.5 Comic Only Variant

Paper: White

Golden Records Reprint.

Label #22-080A578-005

COMIC ONLY, NO RECORD - The Fantastic Four Golden Record Reprint (28-pages, full-color, standard comic format) was produced in 1966 and reprints Fantastic Four #1. Although the reprint, at first glance, looks like the original, there are differences. There is no cover price on the reprint, and the back cover, as well as the inside covers, promote the Golden Record LP series of which the Fantastic Four #1 is a part. The four Marvel Golden Record LPs came with a reprint comic, and each originally sold for $2.49 (record and comic together). In addition to the Fantastic Four LP, there were records produced for Thor (Journey into Mystery #83), Avengers #4; and Amazing Spider-Man #1, all with their own reprint comic. We bought these sets when they first appeared and can still remember following the story in the comic reprint while the record played and the narrator read the story to us. Just to make sure we didn't lose our place, he would say "Turn page," each time he finished the last panel on a page.
