 (ASM #11) is credited as a Ditko and Kirby cover. I was going off of the Jack Kirby Cover CGC registry set list, which surprisingly does not include ASM #11 as a Kirby cover. I was a little shocked to look again at the ASM #11 and #12 covers side by side to see how differently Doc Ock was drawn...fabulous detail on issue #11. Then, #12 reverts back to a more "primitive" (I don't mean that in a bad way) rendering of Doc Ock seen in early Ditko Spider-Man artwork. 

Doc looks like Roy Orbison on 11.

Both great books!

Time for one of the coolest covers of the early issues and the menace of Mysterio!

I had hoped for a bit higher grade but knew the spine would keep it down. I'm good with this one.

I don't have many early ASM issues with white pages, but this is one of them.

Raw and slabbed. This is one issue that has eluded me in 9.0+ so far.

[MR SigS]

Catching up.

Do I stay up to midnight just to post 1st, or am I watching baseball? Who knows? But I wasn't about to miss 1st Green Goblin day!

Not a HG copy, but the price was right! Hoped for a 4.0, but looks great! Love that broom!

This book is definitely one of the highlights of my collection

My fav early Spider-Man book  I still remember the day I first saw a raw copy in person on the back wall of my LCS as a kid.  For me, this book and seeing this cover in person was the catalyst to collecting.  ASM300 was the first Spidey key I ever owned, but this book was my first collecting goal to own some day...

Here's another early Spider-Man crossover cover. Feel free to post your TTA #57. We have another unique Kirby drawing of Spider-Man on this cover as there is no Spider emblem on the back of his costume.

I'm using the very helpful chronology provided by @DST via the Mike's Amazing World site.

@DST said: For chronology, I use Mike's Amazing World for cover dates vs. release dates:

http://www.mikesamazingworld.com/main/index.php

ASM11 and DD1 both have cover dates of 4/1964.  Per this site, ASM11 was released on 1/10/1964 and DD1 was released on 2/4/1964.  ASM12 has a cover date of 5/1964 and per this site was released on 2/11/1964.  TTA57 would tie ASM14 with a cover date of 7/1964.  Per this site, TT57 was released on 4/2/1964 while ASM14 was released a week later on 4/9/1964.
