Steven, that issue of MTU was the only one of the comics shown above that I did read that month. I felt enormously glad to pick up FF #232 a few months later. That, and Amazing Heroes #1, which featured a Byrne homage cover to FF #1 and an article on his then-upcoming FF, were two of the earliest back issue purchases I ever made. Brings back some very happy memories of "the hunt," back when everything I ever wanted and never had suddenly seemed within reach. Quite the electric feeling.
At this point, there are probably less than half a dozen issues that I still want to own, but I'm apparently doing just fine without them, so I'm making no real effort to track them down. Plus, I need to sell off what I have, so there's no real percentage in spending money for items that will soon lack a larger context.
Ah, but back then, it was all there in front of me... :-)
BTW, that MTU is a fun Herb Trimpe illustrated tale in which Spidey and She-Hulk take on... The Man-Killer, an arch-feminist whose progressive agenda included slaying men she felt had wronged women. I almost have to wonder if some folks got scared by that comic at some point... :-)
