DESCRIPTION
A 15% BUYER'S PREMIUM WILL BE ADDED TO THIS ITEM AT CONCLUSION OF THE AUCTION
Group of 10 issues: #1-10 (1977-78); includes What if Jane Foster became Thor?; average condition: 9.2; estimated BV: $400+

First 10 issues of the original series (1977-78):
#1-What if Spider-Man had joined the Fantastic Four? (based on The Amazing Spider-Man #1)
#2-What if the Hulk had the brain of Bruce Banner? (based on The Incredible Hulk #1)
#3-What if the Avengers had never been? (based on The Avengers #3)
#4-What if the Invaders stayed together after World War II?
Considered part of Earth-616, the mainstream Marvel continuity.
#5-What if Captain America had not vanished during World War II? (based on Avengers #4)
#6-What if the Fantastic Four had different super-powers? (based on The Fantastic Four #1)
This version of the team reappeared in What If? (vol. 2) #39. This world was designated Earth-7712.
#7-What if someone else besides Spider-Man had been bitten by the radioactive spider? (based on Amazing Fantasy #15)
3 different stories look at what would have happened if either Flash Thompson, Betty Brant, or publisher J. Jonah Jameson's astronaut son John, had been bitten by the radioactive spider.. With the exception of Betty Brant (who quits her moniker like Peter did in "Spider-Man No More"). A darker version of the Flash story is redone as What If? (vol. 2) #76.
#8-What if the world knew Daredevil was blind? (based on Daredevil #2)
#9-What if the Avengers fought evil in the 1950s?
Designated Earth-9904, a version of this timeline was revisited in Avengers Forever, and yet another version made a cameo in Paradise X.
The Agents of Atlas, a superhero team from the 1950s, was based on this concept.
#10-What if Jane Foster had found the hammer of Thor? (based on Journey into Mystery #83)
Jane Foster would eventually become the new Thor in Thor (vol. 4) #1.
