classic cover...

That's the main reason I picked it up. The Mysterio covers are some of my favorites. I guess Mysterio is my favorite Spidey villain.

My first foray into the Spidey collecting thread with a few Spideys I've picked up in the last couple of months:

 

A nice 27 and 29 from Brent at Quality Comics (also a 26 that I don't have scanned but I'll get around to adding):

 

 

 

A real sharp VF/NM 45 from Foolkiller and a VF 44 from Metropolis to pair with it:

My favourite too!

[Mac Man]

Yeah, I'll be plenty happy when I can add ASM 13 to my collection- not only Mysterio's 1st, but probably his best cover going. Just a really good villain.

 

And nice to see some "new" Spidey fans coming over to our thread!-) It's a fun place. And Rtarturo, that is a sweet looking copy of 29 you have! Very nice!

One of my favorite Mysterio covers is issue #66. Love how the colors stand out on the white cover.

Seems to me that I know someone with a sweet low grade copy...

I totally agree

[Mac Man]

Yeah, 66 is definitely a fine looking Mysterio cover! He just really lends himself to a really dramatic cover. I'm a fan to say the least

 

I've heard rumors of this person with a low-grade copy. I've also heard he lives in a cave in Alabama with his piles of Spider-Man comics.

He may live a little further North than that!

WELCOME!!!!! Nice start!

 

ASM#29 -- This is just an amazing cover!!! I remember upgrading this book 3 times until I got a sweet VF: 8.0 copy. This book and a book like #33 are just worth spending the $$ to get a nice copy of because the covers are so awesome IMO.

Might have a lead on one of my grails. It's definitely a "Charlie Brown Christmas Tree" pedigree, but a copy of my grail nonetheless. I'll keep you guys posted. (thumbs u

[CAP Freak]

Which ish. Did you see that Awesome 28 in that FS thread. Im low on dough so I asked if I can make time payments. Hope he says yes

[Mac Man]

Take a look around and you'll see which issue I'm referring to when I say "grail"

have a scan?

SA ASM Collectors-

 

Do you have Strange Tales Annual #2 in your collection/ wishlist? With Stan writing, Jack Kirby penciling, and Steve Ditko inking, it sure seems like a must. What's the general consensus?

 

(And no, I'm personally not looking to buy one anytime soon. I have a fun uber low-grade grail I'm looking at, and a key from Piper).

I consider this an important issue. It is part of the continuity as you will see it mentioned in ASM #18 when the Torch wants to meet with Spiderman at the Statue of Liberty.

 

The only negative which isn't a negative really is that I don't like Kirby's renditions of Spiderman. But hey, Ditko is there and it's a very early appearance!!!

 

I say, yes, it's an important issue and to go for it!!!!

[Mac Man]

Yeah- I think Kirby forgot to put the spider insignia on the costume. Oh well- it was still new then I guess.

[cortez]

A definite must (if affordable)

 

Marvel's Top 3 Talents working

 

on Marvel's Flagship Heroes.

 

Cover fascinating due to recent interest in error comics by many collectors.

 

 

Great subject and scan Mac Man.

It's the 4th apperance of Spider-Man coming out just before issue 3.

It's a must have.

 

I can sell you one cheap.
