SPIDER-MAN THE MYTH - EXHIBITION MILAN (ITALY) 19/5/2012 - 29/7/2012

Hello fellow collectors and Spider-Man friends,

With great pleasure I would like to report that in occasion of the 50th anniversary of Spider-Man, a fantastic exhibition is being held from the 19th of May to the 29th of July 2012 at the prestigious Museum of Cartoons of Milan - ITALY (sponsored by the city council, the Mexican and U.S. consulate !).

And ... with great pride I wish to announce that many prestigious pieces on display (posters, memorabilia and CGC comics from the Silver Age) come directly from my personal collection ...

A special occasion for me and for those who want to soak up the atmosphere of America's most beloved superhero and enjoy virtually unique pieces for their rarity and degree of conservation.

I attended the inauguration on the 19/5/2012 and I was amazed by the job made by the curators.... Everybody was really impressed!!

Even the national press gave a lot of visibility to the exhibition with enthusiastic comments like this " From now on, this (exhibition) becomes the benchmark for any comic-related character in Europe!!!".

The exhibition is divided over the five decades with large displays of rare material from all periods and with good captions and explanatory panels.

Either the original American editions or the Italian variants are on display!

I hope that the number of visits will reward this initiative that has the aim of celebrating an ICON like Spider-Man.

For this event they released:

1. Catalog (really sooo well done!)

2. * Postcard

3. * Small Poster

4. * Poster

5. No.3 VIP passes with different subjects

6. Orange postcard that advertises a competition (http://milanomilano.eu/uomoragno.php)

* Same image

In these links you can find dozens and dozens of photos of the show!
