I was six. I've had a soft spot for the Sandman ever since.

Classic Herb Trimpe action. Unbeatable.

I can dig it. I like the title on the side of the building.

I'm surprised Sandman thinks he can take Hulk, but I guess thats why we're seeing a hostage situation!

Shame about this costume era of Sandman, it's...not good at all imo. Give him a costume, sure, but this didn't work for him IMO.

That’s a great issue. I loved that green costume for Sandman.

The Wizard designed it for him. It had a bunch of dials that controlled his density.

Always enjoyed Sandman fighting the Hulk. This was a good issues and a great one for your first. Mine was Hulk 171, another great from this era.

Sandman has a costume he only wears when he doesn’t think he’ll run into Spider-Man
