This original 1962 Amazing Fantasy #15 is highly sought after and features the very first appearance of Spiderman!
This item was kindly donated to Comic Relief by Jonathan Ross during the filming of Comic Relief does the Apprentice for Red Nose Day 2009 and we are thrilled to be auctioning one of the hottest comic books on the planet! This comic is generally regarded as one of Marvel’s top three iconic issues. Created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, written by Stan Lee and featuring the artistic collaboration of Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko this is the comic that started it all for Spiderman.
Graded at Very Good to Very Good Plus, opportunities like this rarely come along, so don’t miss out. This comic can only appreciate in value!
The expert opinion: Cover-wise, there are no pencil marks or stamps visible and it is a cents copy. The front and back covers look tight, flat and retain some gloss. There is some “marbling” or “chipping” to the right side of the front cover and a small lower spine split.
The inside pages, although obviously tanned, are supple and without tears, creases, or ads removed. The staples are firm and the centre pages are well attached and not coming loose. As far as we can see, there is no evidence of any past restoration of this comic.
That's pretty cool of Ross. Wonder how much it goes for. Mint ones have gone for hundreds of thousands of dollars. This could go for more cause it's for charity. I'm going to have to watch Celebrity Apprentice tonight.
