For your kind consideration is this copy of Fantastic Four #247 from 1982. This issue features the first appearance of Kristoff Vernard, the adopted son of Doctor Doom and heir to Latveria. It also features a Classic Doctor Doom cover and story by John Byrne.

In the title, I refer to the condition of this book as "7.0ish." Translation: were you to send this book in to be professionally graded and slabbed, I estimate it would come back somewhere between a 6.5/FN+ (fine plus) and a 7.5/VF- (very fine minus). Please understand, I am NOT a professional grader. This is only MY best guess, based on numerous submissions to CGC, of the grade of this book, nothing more. I share this grade estimate to give you a better understanding as to the condition of the book and because I'm just that nice. 

The obvious flaws with this book are: slight foxing at the top right corner of the front cover (pic 5), some tanning at the top right corner of the back cover (pics 2 & 11)and several spine stress lines on both covers (pics 1, 2, 3, & 4). The book is complete and both staples are tight at the cover and centerfold. Please view all 12 pics I have provided to help you determine YOUR grade estimate of this book, thanks. 

Look, I love to haggle over collectibles. I'm just weird like that. However, buyers do not seem to be in the haggling mood recently. Therefore, as much as it breaks my heart, I've started listing some books as just "buy it now" with no option to make offers. Call me a sell out if you like, but I'm just a humble loser with a side hustle trying to sell comic books. 

For those of you who care about such things, here's how this particular book came into my possession and its history since then. I purchased it from a seller on Whatnot on April 6, 2025. I then cleaned and pressed the book myself. The book has been in my possession since its purchase date.

FYI, I include a free, raw mystery book with every purchase, usually from the same title...just a little incentive for you, that's all.

Your newly acquired copy of FF #247 will be shipped to you no later than the day after receiving payment (unless, of course, that day is a Sunday), bagged, boarded front and back, swaddled in a feathery bed of bubble wrap and secured within a Gemini comic book mailer. 

Please check out my other listings. I add new books all the time.
