JHU and Tom Brevoort's Great Marvel Trading Experiment

We here at Jim Hanley's Universe would like to give a special shout out to our old friend and Marvel Comics Executive Editor Tom Brevoort. Over at his blog at Marvel.com Tom has been conducting an old school trading experiment with the goal of getting a copy of Fantastic Four #1. Once he gets it, he will donate it to the great folks at the Hero Initiative, the only charity for helping comic creators in need. We thought we'd like to help out, and traded in a beautiful copy of Sub-Mariner Comics #6 for some swell silver age Marvel books. For more, check out Tom's blog post on the trade here.
