Figured I'd share some pics!!

Sara Duke, the curator, was incredibly friendly and excited to show it to me and talk about Steve Ditko, it was a trip I'll remember for the rest of my life.

Thanks for sharing!

That is so cool...thanks for sharing!

I love the fact that the curator brings out the artwork for you to view on a desk, as opposed to viewing it behind glass or some other barrier...seems like a more personal experience.

Ver rare first and only appearance...  Though they may have been edited out on some reprints over the years...

It's how you can tell if your AF #15 is a counterfeit.

Woah.  So can any regular person ask to see that?  Seems like a careless person could spill their coffee on that priceless piece.

Incredible, thanks for sharing and great photos

Wasn't the OA for AF 15 on public display at the Smithsonian previously?

Congratulations, A grail trip indeed. I hope to make this pilgrimage one day.

No.  Cover is not known to exist.

Feels like it should be in the Smithsonian permanently so people can see it but not handle it. Just my opinion. They offer great security would hate to see someone mess these up over time.

The Library of Congress is pretty secure.

I think Jack Kirby did it once also, perhaps in Strange Tales Annual #2.
