Amazing Fantasy #15 White Mountain pedigree (Marvel, 1962) CGC NM 9.4 Off-white to white pages. Here's a genuine milestone in the history of comics -- the origin and first appearance of mild-mannered Peter Parker and his alarming alter-ego, the spectacular Spider-Man. Having begun as Amazing Adventures #1 in 1961, the title changed to Amazing Adult Fantasy with issue #7, before a final name change for the series' swan song. The story goes that publisher Martin Goodman was so underwhelmed by Stan Lee's new arachnid creation that the only way the story could see print was as a throw-away feature in the final issue of a dying title. But Stan Lee's tale of a withdrawn high-school student suddenly endowed with strange powers hit a chord with readers, and the rest is history. Steve Ditko's moody art struck just the right tone for Lee's offbeat tale, and Jack Kirby's cover remains one of the most iconic images from the Silver Age of comics. The tragic death of Peter Parker's beloved Uncle Ben in this issue, at the hands of a felon Spidey could easily have arrested earlier, teaches the young hero the "with great power there must also come -- great responsibility." The high bidder on this fantastic comic will also have a great responsibility -- namely, caring for one the finest copies of this issue in existence. Excelsior! Overstreet 2005 NM- 9.2 value = $42,500. CGC census 4/05: 5 in 9.4, 1 higher.

Journey Into Mystery #83 (Marvel, 1962) CGC 9.4 Off-white to white pages. Marvel was on a roll in 1962, reinventing itself with the introduction of superheroes that would in short time revolutionize the comics world. The Fantastic Four, the Hulk, and Ant-Man had already been introduced by the peerless team of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby when the August 1962 issue of Journey Into Mystery hit the newsstands with yet another new superhero, the Mighty Thor. Kirby's cover for the issue is one of his most famous, and this comes oh-so-close to the finest copy you could hope to find. To date CGC has certified a higher grade to just one other copy. Early Marvel Age keys continue to be hot commodities, especially such high-grade gems as our offering. Bid thee well! Overstreet 2005 NM- 9.2 value = $10,000. CGC census 2/05: 3 in 9.4, 1 higher.

The Amazing Spider-Man #129 (Marvel, 1974) CGC NM/MT 9.8 White pages. Here's the nicest copy you're going to find of one of the most important Marvel comics of the 1970s, the first appearance of the Punisher. Since the character is still as popular as ever, demand for this book can only increase with the passage of time.

The cover is a typically eye-catching number by Gil Kane. Overstreet 2005 NM- 9.2 value = $495. CGC census 1/05: 3 in 9.8, none higher. From the collection of Chris Bell.

Marvel Comics #1 (Timely, 1939) Condition: Coverless. This is the third most-valuable comic issue of all, behind only Action Comics #1 and Detective Comics #27. So cover or no cover, it's one of the Holy Grails of comic collecting, and tough to pass up no matter what the condition. This copy does come with a replacement cover (a color photocopy). The pages are tan, with some chipping, and there is some rice paper reinforcement at the spine. If you're not familiar with the significance of the book: it was the first Timely comic to hit newsstands, the debut and origin story of the first Human Torch, the first newsstand appearance of the Sub-Mariner, the first comic book appearance of Ka-Zar, and the first appearance of the original Angel. While most every copy of this key book is sealed in a slab, never to be removed again, here's one you can actually look through and read, if you can keep your hands from trembling!

Mystic Comics #9 Chicago pedigree (Timely, 1942) CGC Qualified NM 9.4 Off-white pages. This frantic cover is not only a bondage scene, it features the villainy of Hitler himself -- luckily the Nazi gets a well-deserved knock on the noggin courtesy of the Destroyer. This cover, drawn by Al Gabriele, is also notable for being one of very few Timely covers to have word balloons. The interior artists include Mike Sekowsky, who drew the Challenger story. This was the second to last issue of the title, and the last to feature characters the Black Marvel, Mystic, and Blazing Skull. CGC notes, "Centerfold detached."

Oh, the indignity of this issue, as the FF are evicted from their HQ, and the only money-making opportunity in sight is to star in a movie produced by the Sub-Mariner... and the movie's full of life-threatening action scenes! On the bright side, the Hollywood theme let artist Jack Kirby pack in lots of star cameos, with the likes of Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, James Arness, Alfred Hitchcock, Jackie Gleason, and Dean Martin drifting through the panels.

The Human Torch #2 (#1) (Timely, 1940) CGC Apparent FN 6.0 Slight (P) Off-white pages. One of the most sought-after Timely keys, this issue actually moved up in the 2005 Overstreet ranking of the most valuable comic books, going from 21st to 18th. The event of significance here is the first appearance of Toro, the Human Torch's sidekick who would appear on many a cover and in many a story in the ensuing years. By the way, Toro wasn't an android like the Torch, but one of the first mutant superheroes! The book's cover by Alex Schomburg offers not only the fiery duo but also Timely' s other VIP of the day, the Sub-Mariner. It's interesting to note that the heroes were already taking on the Nazi menace in this Fall 1940 issue, more than a year before the U.S. would actually enter the war. The roster of interior artists includes Timely's top talents of the day: Carl Burgos, Bill Everett, Joe Simon, and Paul Reinman to name a few. CGC notes, "Restoration includes: tear seal to interior, cover cleaned, interior lightened, cover & centerfold reinforced." Overstreet 2005 GD 2.0 value = $2,785; VG 4.0 value = $5,750; FN 6.0 value = $8,625.

The Amazing Spider-Man #8 (Marvel, 1964) CGC NM 9.4 Off-white to white pages. Every kid who ever tangled with a school bully got a thrill upon seeing this issue, which promised some much-needed comeuppance for Flash Thompson. And indeed, Peter Parker does get a chance to box with the B.M.O.C. in this issue, unfortunately, a robot attack causes the bout to be called off. The art on the lead story is by Steve Ditko, who also drew the cover. Meanwhile, the backup feature guest-stars the Fantastic Four, and offers an artistic team we really love: Ditko inking Jack Kirby! Spider-Man is quite the would-be Casanova in this early story -- he puts the ol' moves on the Human Torch's girlfriend Dorrie, and even makes a web-valentine for the Invisible Girl (who was still single at the time, we hasten to add). Overstreet 2005 NM- 9.2 value = $1,900. CGC census 4/05: 20 in 9.4, 8 higher.

As if that's not tough enough, Peter finds out that the lovely Liz Allan won't go out with him because she's holding out for... Spider-Man. It's drama from the typewriter of Stan Lee and the pencil and pen of Steve Ditko.

Inside the comic, the Torch is drawn by his creator Carl Burgos. The Sub-Mariner story has art by Bill Everett and an appearance by the Angel. There's also a story featuring the Patriot, with Sid Greene art. The back cover is quite interesting in itself -- it has an ad for Young Allies #1, but it shows a cover different from the one that was used, and the alternative cover has an unprecedented fivesome of the Red Skull, Hitler, Mussolini, Hirohito, and even Stalin! This is the first time we've seen an unrestored copy of this comic, and it's one of the best copies available at that. CGC notes, "Small piece of corner (out) of last page, affects story."

Captain America Comics #18 (Timely, 1942) CGC FN 6.0 Light tan to off-white pages. Overstreet gives this issue its "classic cover" designation, what a great job by Al Avison of making Cap and his foe look like they're about to tumble out of the comic and into our laps! Avison, Syd Shores, and Don Rico each drew one of this issue's Cap stories, and Rico added a Secret Stamp feature as well. Overstreet 2005 FN 6.0 value = $930. CGC census 4/05: 1 in 6.0, 3 higher.

Captain America Comics #75 (Timely, 1950) CGC FN/VF 7.0 Cream to off-white pages. This is the last of two issues to be called Captain America's Weird Tales on the cover, and this horror issue certainly brought the long-running superhero series to an unusual end (though the numbering was resumed by Atlas in 1954). The titular host, Captain America, doesn't even actually appear in the comic! It's not an easy book to find -- Gerber gives it a scarcity rating of "7." Overstreet 2005 FN 6.0 value = $588; VF 8.0 value = $1,225. CGC census 4/05: 2 in 7.0, 2 higher.

But there are more sparks flying than the ones from Electro's fingertips, namely the growing electricity between Peter Parker and Betty Brant. Alas, Peter can't enjoy it because (cue violins), Aunt May is ill. The issue's cover and art are by Steve Ditko. Overstreet 2005 VF/NM 9.0 value = $1,636; NM- 9.2 value = $2,025. CGC census 3/05: 19 in 9.0, 35 higher.
