SwipeProduct description
What would a hero be without a good villain? Pretty boring—which is why Back Issue #172 spotlights those who would do our heroes harm, in our Big Bad issue! There are can’t-miss profiles of Lex Luthor, Dormammu, the Royal Flush Gang, Scorpion, Killer Frost, and Juggernaut! Plus, the debut of a new feature, “BACK to the Drawing Board,” examining misguided attempts at character creation—and our first subject is the Ten-Eyed Man! Featuring the work of Roy Thomas, Steve Englehart, Gerry Conway, Paul Levitz, Ron Frenz, Marv Wolfman, John Byrne, Pat Broderick, and others. With a mystical Dormammu cover by Frank Brunner. Edited by Roger Ash.

Beautiful books! Excellent, fast service, shipping and packaging!
The NCBD YouTube shows are the highlight of my week. They always have the trending new books, and you can tell every copy has been checked for damages.
New, high-quality modern books at the best prices, amazing shipping quality and excellent service with great comic knowledge. Legion shows are a must-see!
Beautiful, high-quality books shipped fast with great protection. Condition as described, fantastic value and appearance. Thank you!
Comic Legion goes the extra mile to make sure people get the hot new books. Their screening process is the real deal, and every book I've received has been near mint, bagged and boarded. That means a lot to me as someone who submits a ton of comics for grading.
Super well packed. Comics are immaculate. Quick shipping too. Thanks again!
Immaculate condition, as described. Perfect communication, quick shipping, quality packaging.
Best customer service I've had from any comic shop. My Hold Box is always handled perfectly, and the FOC Phalanx Discord channel reminders mean I never miss a comic at FOC that I may end up wanting.
Comic Legion is where all the hot comics are. If you're not following them, you're missing out!
Excellent seller! Beautiful condition, beautiful books, items as described and well packaged!
