These "Big Premiere Issues" landed on the racks in 1968 just about the same time I started prowling for Marvel. What a great time to jump into comics.

Thanks for posting this, I'm trimming down my collection and wanted a list of the Marvel issues that had the Big Premiere blurb that I would keep for my PC.
