Marvel Masterworks: Iron Man Vol 6

A few weeks ago I was undecided about continuing with purchasing any more Iron Man  Masterworks.

This particular volume was hard-to-find and I was also reaching a period in the comics where I had some of the original issues which were included. Should I just purchase original issues? I would be more expensive in the long run and space requirements were an issue. Despite regular clear-outs I don't have much room in my comic boxes.

Well I've made my decision and will continue with Masterworks to volume 8 and sell my higher grade issues.

This particular volume which covers issues 14-25 is the limited edition. I just can't seem to find the regular edition anywhere. I've an order with Forbidden Planet International which maybe fulfilled if they can get stock in 5-6 weeks time but I didn't want to take the risk and so purchased this copy from Silver Acre off ebay for £50. BUT, just in case I do receive the regular edition, I've not taken the cling film type wrapping off this volume yet as it will make it more sellable.

There are lots of new Masterworks due to be published soon and my collection will look pretty impressive by the end of the year.

Avengers vol 5 (paperback) in July will complete my Avengers collection
Hulk vol 3 (paperback) in September will virtually mean I have a complete Hulk run
Thor vol 12 (hardcover) is due in Oct
Marvel Two-In-One vol 1(hardcover) due in Nov will cover those more expensive 2 in 1 issues I need.

Plus I will get Iron Man vols 7 & 8 very soon as they are already published!
