11 Marvel & DC Facsimile Editions of Key, Valuable Comics

Today I take a close, loving look at 11 new (to me) Marvel and DC facsimile editions I recently acquired at local comic shops and on eBay. I say "loving" because I absolutely adore these comics: they are fun, affordable ways to experience key books in comic book history. P.S. Facsimiles, I'm happy to say, are now suddenly all over Amazon. An overview: https://amzn.to/49Dye3v. (That's an affiliate link via yours truly.)
