ASM 33 has got to be one of my most favorite covers. Even the first few pages of the story need no dialogue. In my opinion, it tells the tale just as Steve Ditko drew it and no words do it justice...sorry Stan.

Thanks for bumping the thread!

My favorite as well! Nice book, comicgrinder. Congrats.

 

Speaking of ASM #33, anyone else see that 9.8 double cover copy that just popped up on CLink? :hail:

 

ASM 33 CGC 9.8 - Double Cover

Can I be honest? I really don't get the appeal to double covers. I know do, and no disrespect to anyone's selections of what to collection--just not something I get.

I do like double covers but don't want to pay double the price. That is a monster book though.

I agree with ya!

[Loki]

I'm not a big fan of them either. However, I can understand how some collectors value the rarity associated with this sort of production defect. A double cover on a 9.8 copy of what I consider to be the finest of the Ditko ASMs makes for a really one-of-a-kind book, though.

Ok, what's the deal with the number of high grade copies of ASM 33? I'm assuming it was a warehouse find issue. Is this the case (no pun intended)?

 

 

 

[comicgrinder]

nope, this is an OO collection find from Blue808. This was once his dad's

[JazzMan]

This particular one is not, but I seem to recall that there was a warehouse find with a bunch of ASM 33s and a few others.

[Loki]

I can't locate it, but there was a thread about warehouse finds in "Comics General" a few months back. One of the posts mentioned a find which included a large number of ASM #33s. That's likely the source of many of the HG copies out there.

 

Now if only I can find one of them in 8.5 / 9.0 with White Pages...

[Spider-Variant]

Yeah, that's what I thought. I have a pretty nice copy, but kick myself for not buying the even better one at the time.

[Loki]

This just arrived today, courtesy of here to lern.
