I'm still confused on why the GG was not included in the Sinister Six. Maybe the klan should have been +1 and called the Sinister Seven. :idea:

 

I think Ditko had plans for the Goblin - he was different than the guys in the Sinister Six- a mystery villain that Ditko wanted to tease the readers with as a slow reveal. More mystery and shadows stuff.

Gobby was more involved with the organized crime story lines, not a super villain of the month type character.

 

That's what I really enjoy about Ditko's run - a variety of tones throughout different issues that blend well together. Tragedy, humor, mystery, and old fashioned action.

I agree. He was purposely left out. Kraven was in issue 15 and a member of the SS.

 

I knew the answer and just wanted it confirmed. (thumbs u

Rolling out the Spideys first...can't wait to see the full collection...

 

CLINK WINTER AUCTION...NEW PEDIGREE SPIDEYS!!

 

CGC has recognized a new Silver Age Pedigree. The John G. Fantucchio Pedigree features nearly every comic published by Marvel and DC Comics from the inception of the Marvel era in the early 1960s through the mid-70s. Rounding out the collection are numerous other high grade comics from other publishers including Charlton, Gold Key, Dell, ACG, Tower and many others.

 

"This collection was beautiful," said Paul Litch, CGC's Primary Grader, "It is a rare treat when a previously unseen collection of high grade comics becomes available to the public. It is even more rare for a collection to be recognized as a pedigree... a collection like this, cannot be denied."

 

The books were collected by artist John G. Fantucchio and stored in ideal conditions. The result is a collection of beautifully preserved comics with amazing color and page quality. John had been a serious collector since the 1940's and was an adult at the beginning of the Silver Age. These books had been stored for decades until being viewed by Rick Lowell of Casablanca Comics.

 

"I had known about these books for years, but nobody had ever seen them" says Lowell. "I was unsure what I was going to find and as I unpacked them I was amazed at the quality. I was also stunned at how complete the collection is."

 

John Fantucchio was one of the most prominent artists during the early days of comic fandom. He created hundreds of covers and illustrations for fanzines such as Rocket's Blast Comic Collector, Fantastic Fanzine, Comic Crusader and many others. John also did covers for the early issues of The Buyer's Guide for Comic Fandom, including the very first issue.

 

"It has been over eight years since we've brought out an original owner collection dating back to the early Silver Age of comics with depth like this," stated Josh Nathanson, Founder and CEO of ComicLink. "There is a distinct beauty in looking at book after book with a homogeneous look and feel, having been stored in the same place in the same way for decades. It's one of the perks of this job that I relish. I'm thrilled that ComicLink is working with Rick to disperse the collection into the hands of today's collectors. We've decided that Amazing Spider-Man will be the first title to be offered, within the ComicLink.com Winter Featured Auction commencing on February 15th. I'm looking forward to the event!"

Tom, where do you think the premium (% above GPA) will land for these. I was still in collecting retirement during any pedigree releases so have no idea what to expect but would like to pick up a couple. Seems like other pedigrees had more of a background to them.

 

Mostly I imagine they will go for market plus 5-10%...but if there are books like the ASM 11 9.6 in uber grade...who knows? Sky's the limit...will be interesting to see the interest... (thumbs u
