The Amazing Spider-Man #1 (Marvel, 1963) CGC NM+ 9.6 Off-white pages. This is simply a superb copy of the very first edition of Spider-Man in his own title. Next to Amazing Fantasy #15, this is the second-most-demanded Silver Age comic. This is the first Fantastic Four crossover into another title, as Spider-Man tries to join their group. The cover is by Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko, but interior art is all by Spider-Man's co-creator, Steve Ditko. According to the CGC census as of this writing, there is one copy in 9.8, and this copy is tied with one other for the second-highest grade. You've seen the movie; here's your chance to own one of the finest comics on the planet! Overstreet 2002 NM 9.4 value = $28,000.

Amazing Fantasy #15 (Marvel, 1962) CGC NM 9.4 Off-white pages. "And so a legend is born, and a new name is added to the roster of those who make the world of fantasy the most exciting realm of all!" -- Stan Lee Stan's hyperbole strays little from the truth as Spider-Man debuts and reveals his origin in this Jack Kirby/Steve Ditko/Stan Lee classic. Because of the continued popularity of Spider-Man, and the difficulty of finding this comic in the highest grades, Amazing Fantasy #15 has become the preeminent Silver Age comic. This is an outstanding copy, which has the sharp corners and the "look" you would expect of a 9.4. According to the CGC census as of this writing, there are five copies grading 9.4 and one grading 9.6. It sounds like there's not nearly enough high-grade copies to go around, so don't be a timid teen like Parker. But toss a web around it like Spidey. Overstreet 2002 NM 9.4 value = $42,000.

The Incredible Hulk #1 (Marvel, 1962) CGC VF+ 8.5 Off-white to white pages. Ol' Greyskin (soon to be Ol' Greenskin, starting with issue #2) debuts in this, the second title of the new Marvel Age of Comics, fast on the heels of the Fantastic Four. Penned by Lee and pencilled by Kirby, this "incredible" book lasted a mere six issues before the Hulkster was cancelled, eventually finding himself in Tales to Astonish for a lengthy run. Man or monster... or is he both? It all started here. The Incredible Hulk #1 is traditionally one of the toughest Marvel keys to find in high-grade, which makes this gorgeous Very Fine Plus copy a rare find. While it displays some minor edge wear, this copy retains a stunningly fresh appearance, the deep-blue background as pure as the day it was printed. With a big-budget Hollywood adaptation on the horizon, this coveted key cannot help but increase in value, making this a perfect time to acquire this high-grade beauty. Bid now, or Hulk smash!

Showcase #9 (DC, 1957) CGC NM- 9.2 Off-white pages. This early issue of the title was the first of two Lois Lane tryout issues. And, even though the Flash and the Challengers of the Unknown had earlier tryouts (by 10 months and 8 months respectively) in this title, Superman's girlfriend got her own title earlier, just eight months after this issue. The Photo-Journal Guide to Comic Books doesn't indicate this book to be uncommon or even "less than average" insofar as numbers still in existence are concerned, but collectors will verify how difficult this issue is to find in high-grade. CGC has awarded a grade higher than "8.0" to only two copies, and our offering has earned the higher grade. Overstreet 2002 NM 9.4 value = $9,000.

Fantastic Four #1 (Marvel, 1961) CGC VF 8.0 Off-white to white pages. Jack Kirby, already a legend thanks primarily to his work on such Golden Age characters as Captain America, Sandman, Manhunter, Boy Commandos, and the Newsboy Legion teamed up with long-time Timely/Atlas/Marvel editor, Stan Lee, a legend in his own right, to shake the comic world with this issue. The Marvel Age of comics was born! DC may have had a five-year head start in the Silver Age, but with this and other comic books that would soon follow Marvel would make up ground in a hurry. This is the Marvel that started it all, some nine months before Amazing Fantasy #15 introduced the Amazing Spider-Man. This book is harder to find in high-grade than most other Marvel Silver Age superhero premiere issues. Overstreet 2002 VF 8.0 value = $8,800.

The Avengers #4 (Marvel, 1964) CGC NM 9.4 Off-white pages. In little more than two years, Marvel had brought back two of its biggest Golden Age stars, the Human Torch (albeit a greatly modified version) and the Sub-Mariner, and introduced scads of new superheroes and super-villains. So what was holding up the revival of the greatest of all Timely superheroes? Any consternation in that question was quickly forgotten when this blockbuster Jack Kirby cover hit the stands with Captain America making his first Silver Age appearance. At this writing, CGC reports nearly 300 copies of this milestone issue have been certified, but only four copies have earned higher grades than our offering. Overstreet 2002 NM 9.4 value = $2,300.

One look at this cover tells you why. This issue features the second appearance of the Silver Age Flash and the origin and first appearance of Captain Cold. Rarely found in high grade, Very Fine is the highest grade CGC has awarded yet for the issue. Overstreet 2002 VF 8.0 value = $7,200. From the collection of Bobby Harmon.

Curt Swan and Murphy Anderson - Original art for Superman #411, Complete 23-page Story with Cover (DC, 1985). In 1985, sci-fi pioneer and long-time DC editor Julius Schwartz turned 70 years old, and, to honor him, the staff of DC Comics put out a very special issue of Superman. Done entirely behind Schwartz's back, the issue was a heartfelt tribute to "The Godfather of the Silver Age." Offered here is the complete original art to this once-in-a-lifetime issue, with pencils by Curt Swan and inks by Schwartz's long-time friend Murphy Anderson. Also included is the original cover art, which has been signed by a virtual Who's Who of sci-fi and comics professionals. To fully list all the signatures on this incredible piece is far beyond the scope of this catalog, but some of the highlights include Ray Bradbury, Mark Hamill, Alan Moore, Steve Ditko, Gray Morrow, Ben Bova, Jerry and Joanne Siegel, Jack Kirby, Gil Kane, Forry Ackerman, Walt Simonson, Bob Burden, Joe Kubert, John Byrne, Curt Swan, Mike Kaluta, Jim Shooter, and dozens (maybe hundreds) more. The lucky winner of this unique treasure will have hours of fun finding each and every hidden signature! From the personal collection of Julius Schwartz.

All Winners Comics #1 (Timely, 1941) CGC VG+ 4.5 Cream to off-white pages. The incomparable Alex Schomburg draws everyone's favorite Timely characters as they race to action on this stellar cover, which features the Black Marvel, the Angel, Sub-Mariner, Captain America and Bucky, and the Human Torch and Toro. These heroes must have been racing to some incredibly dire emergency as Schomburg apparently forgot to draw the wings on the Sub-Mariner's left ankle. Fortunately, the other heroes appear to have most of their anatomy (although with Toro and the Torch, it was tough to tell!). This issue also features the first appearance of the All-Winners squad in a text story by Stan "The Man" Lee. Joe Simon and Jack Kirby help out with some of the art chores inside. While this title didn't last as long as either Captain America or Marvel Mystery, it had a good run of some 20 odd issues to showcase Schomburg's prowess in drawing these Timely heroes. This Key Timely book has an incredibly eye-appealing cover, some minor spine wear and a few creases on the back cover, but all-in-all an attractive copy that is sure to please.

Marvel Mystery Comics #2 (Timely, 1939) CGC G+ 2.5 White pages. This second issue is the first one of this title as number one was titled, more simply, Marvel Comics. Regardless, Carl Burgos and Bill Everett render some incredible golden age Timely art inside. C.S. More draws an incredible cover of the Angel grabbing the landing gear of an enemy airplane as a horde of bombers rain destruction upon New York City (Note the Empire State Building getting toppled). This key issue also contains a 2-page retelling of the origin of the HUman Torch. This fabulous title would continue for some 90 more issues before undergoing another name change and lasting nearly 70 more issues making this one of Timely's/Atlas'/Marvel's longest lasting runs. While this title may not be the longest lasting, it is the most important as Captain America, the Human Torch and Sub-Mariner would rage against Jap and Nazi hordes as they fleshed out their characters and careers. Furthermore, the incomparable Alex Schomburg rendered many of the covers with his incredible detail and undying devotion to action and bondage. This issue is the perfect one to add to your collection to help you on your way to finishing this marvelous run of Timely mayhem. While a CGC note states: "Cover detached," this issue is so rare that any copy is coveted. Even though this copy also has an Australian price sticker on the front cover, it has an otherwise pretty cover and great eye appeal. Overstreet 2002 GD 2.0 value = $2,107.

Worse, he joins the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants in this issue to annoy the X-Men. Kirby's cover and interior art make these early issues a Marvel Age delight. A smashingly high-grade copy that will please even the most discriminating collector. Overstreet 2002 NM 9.4 value = $425.

But the cover colors of this copy come tantalizingly close to perfection. Overstreet 2002 NM 9.4 value = $900.

The Brave and the Bold #44 Pacific Coast pedigree (DC, 1962) CGC NM 9.4 Off-white to white pages. One of the most stunning (we would even gush "classic") of the grey-tone covers DC used in the early Silver Age days comes courtesy of Joe Kubert, whose work on the Hawkman try-out issues of this title rivals his more famous long-running work on Sgt. Rock for sheer excitement and intensity. A nicer copy? Fugettaboutit! You won't find another "9.4" in CGC's census for this issue. Overstreet 2002 NM 9.4 value = $320.

X-Men #12 (Marvel, 1965) CGC NM 9.4 Off-white to white pages. This early issue of the title still boasted Jack Kirby doing double duty with cover and interior art, which makes it extremely collector-desirable. But there's more! Lending his considerable artistic talents is no less than the legendary Alex Toth! You say you want still more? The issue also features the origin of Professor X, and the first appearance of the Juggernaut. Still not satisfied? Check out the condition; only two other copies of issue #12 have received higher grades. Overstreet 2002 NM 9.4 value = $460.

Tales of Suspense #39 (Marvel, 1963) CGC VF- 7.5 Off-white pages. After the introduction over the previous 16 months of such groundbreaking superheroes from Marvel as Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, Thor, Ant-Man, and Hulk, this title finally introduced one of its own with this issue. Naturally, Jack Kirby was tapped to do the cover, and the nearly equally veteran Don Heck was enlisted for the interior story. At Very Fine Minus, this is still a strong copy, ranking in the top 20 percent of all copies of issue #39 certified by CGC to date. Overstreet 2002 VF 8.0 value = $2,842.
