ComicLink is thrilled to be offering a stunning example of the first appearance of Spider-Man in Amazing Fantasy #15 CGC 8.0 CVA Exceptional, according to the company. It will be up for bid in the July Focused Auction beginning on July 12, 2017. This is coming off of the record sale of another very similar Amazing Fantasy #15 CGC 8.0, also CVA Exceptional, in the recently concluded Spring Featured Auction for $261,010.
“There could not be a more exciting time to be a true Spider-Man fan. There’s only a week to go until the new film Spider-Man: Homecoming opens up worldwide. This first Spider-Man solo film integrated into the mega-popular Marvel Cinematic Universe is getting overwhelmingly positive early reviews on social media, plus it is supposed to have the greatest post-credit scene in the history of comic book movies! For those of us who have been Spidey fans for many decades, it sounds like we are finally going to get the film we’ve wished for,” ComicLink founder and President Josh Nathanson said. “A successful Spider-Man film franchise will assure the character will be won over by an entire new generation of young fans across the globe. Spidey’s already one of the biggest characters of them all in comic books, and this will only assure that this will not change any time in the years to come! Higher grade Amazing Fantasy #15 examples like the one offered here are very likely only going to increase substantially in value over time. Don’t miss this opportunity to bid on a very special book!”
“Amazing Fantasy #15 has always been a very, very tough book to find above 7.5. This example is an 8.0 CVA Exceptional, which means it has exceptional visual appeal for its grade assigned. It exhibits deep, rich colors and only minimal wear. There’s no sign of the ‘Marvel chipping’ that often impacts lesser examples of Amazing Fantasy #15. We expect a lot of interest in this example,” Nathanson added.
Among the other highlights consigned to the July Focused Auction are a strong Tales of Suspense run starting from #1 and including a #39 in CGC 8.0, and John G. Fantucchio Pedigree Justice League of America examples (see other ComicLink article in this week’s Scoop for more details on this run).
