Weird Fantasy #21 Gaines FIle pedigree 12/12 (EC, 1953) CGC NM+ 9.6 White pages.

The Amazing Spider-Man #6 (Marvel, 1963) CGC NM 9.4 Cream to off-white pages. The Lizard, one of Spider-Man's most memorable foes, made his first of many appearances in this issue. Every Lizard story always had the same wrenching undercurrent: Spidey always had to pull his punches because the villain was really his pal Curt Connors (spelled Conners about half the time)... but the Lizard had no such compunctions about walloping the Webhead! Writer Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko delivered the action.

Playboy V1#1 (HMH Publishing, 1953) Condition: FN/VF. This issue started a multimedia phenomenon and made Hugh Hefner a household name. It's the very first Playboy magazine, which caused a splash by featuring some nude photos of Marilyn Monroe from 1949, but also held readers' interest thanks to a canny mix of features, including jokes, cartoons, and pictorials, but also a piece by Ambrose Bierce, a Sherlock Holmes story by Arthur Conan Doyle, a jazz article, and an article commending college football's return to the one-platoon system. The mag's introductory text says, "If we are able to give the American male a few extra laughs and a little diversion from the anxieties of the Atomic Age, we feel we've justified our existence." The mostly white covers are still bright, and the pages are impressively off-white to white. This is the finest copy of the hard-to-find issue that we've offered to date, which, combined with the increasing demand in recent years for copies in any grade, make this a real find. Winning bidders have paid an average of over $5,000 for lesser copies in previous Heritage auctions.

Haunt of Fear #17 (#3) Gaines File pedigree (EC, 1950) CGC NM 9.4 White pages. The origins of the Crypt of Terror, the Vault of Horror, and the Haunt of Fear are revealed in this issue -- it turns out that the GhouLunatics who dwell in those three horrid habitats captured Bill Gaines and Al Feldstein and forced them to sign contracts to publish horror stories! This issue was used in Seduction of The Innocent, and oddly, it wasn't criticized for any of the crypts or the horror, but because it "shows the same predilection for non-language expletives familiar in other comics." Tut-tut, and we really mean that. The issue has a Johnny Craig cover, with interior art by Craig, Al Feldstein, Harvey Kurtzman, and Graham Ingels.

The Avengers #1 (Marvel, 1963) CGC VF- 7.5 Off-white pages. New titles were coming fast and furiously from Stan Lee's House of Ideas in 1963. One of the more notable was this premiere issue that featured every self-respecting superhero that Marvel had introduced to date not named the Amazing Spider-Man. Thor wields his hammer, Iron Man shows up in his older bulky outfit, Ant Man and the Wasp do their thing, the Hulk shows up (evidently by mistake, since he sticks around until only the second issue) - even the Fantastic Four appear! Then there's Loki, the Teen Brigade, and we thought we noted the Doublemint Twins in the background! Jack Kirby provided the cover and interior art. Overstreet 2006 VF 8.0 value = $2,389.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs - Limited Edition Porcelain Sculpture 10/1000 (House of Lorenz, Circa 1980s). Offered here is a limited edition porcelain masterpiece from the Walt Disney Studios. "Having Dinner - Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" has overwhelming intricacy and incredible likenesses to the characters from the 1937 animated film. The scene is full of movement and action as Snow White tries to maintain order among the misbehaving dwarfs. Lorenz product #LZD-53 was originally issued in 1983 and was slated for a 2,500 piece production run but the molds were destroyed in 1992 after reaching only 1,000 limited edition pieces. Rendered in the Capodimonte style by master sculptor Enzo Arzenton (who retired in 1999), this beautiful piece, with its realistic detail, was made in Italy and features the "Crowned N" logo formerly reserved only for European royalty. The bottom of the wooden base notes "No. 10". This piece appears to be from the initial casting session and has different colored glazes than the later releases making this item very desirable. Also note that there was a slight change to the face of Snow White in the later castings. Dimensions of the piece are 11" X 18.25" X 13.5". Doc's wire-rim glasses are missing, otherwise the condition of the sculpture is Excellent.
