Hello, Just wanted some insight on a probable grade for this issue, if anyone can assist. This is a pretty rare: Power Comics (1967) Fantastic #1 The book reprints the origins of Thor, Iron Man, the X-Men, Hulk stories. For its age, the book looks incredible on both covers and every interior page except page 35/36 (with ads on one side and story on the other) which has been cut in half to remove an ad coupon decades ago. With a cover this clean, I really want to get it graded as I think I have a pretty cool piece of history. I dont care if it comes back 3.0 or something, I just don't want an "NG" label that just looks terrible to me. My question is, would CGC more likely grant a Green, Qualified label and reflect the condition of the overall issue, or would it be deemed incomplete as it is missing 1/2 a page and garner a NG grade? Please advise and thank you! JW

Amazing Spider-Man #125 features the origin and 2nd appearance of the Man-Wolf! I feel like you can’t just own Amazing Spider-Man #124—1st appearance of the Man-Wolf, without owning the follow-up issue, as it features his origin story! To complement the previous issue, John Romita Sr. created another dynamic classic cover that embodies so much superb movement within a single image, that it plays out like a scene in a movie! After Spider-Man connected the dots and realized that John Jameson was indeed the Man-Wolf, he went to pay him a visit at his apartment around the same time John’s girlfriend Kristine was on her way over for a date. However, by the time both Spider-Man and Kristine arrived, John had already morphed back into the Man-Wolf and grabbed Kristine as hostage! Feeling guilty for the tragic death of Gwen Stacy that occurred just four issues previously in Amazing Spider-Man #121, Spider-Man frantically yells “NO! NO! I WON’T LET YOU DIE—NOT LIKE GWEN!” As Spider-Man leaps towards the Man-Wolf to protect Kristine from being harmed on a moving vehicle, the Man-Wolf violently back fists Spider-Man in the head, sending him flying backwards in midair as he cries out “NOT LIKE GWENNN!” A few frightened pedestrians in the background are seen fleeing the scene as they witness the vicious attack, and the vulnerable Kristine, feeling as if she is destined to be the Man-Wolf’s lunch, yells out “SPIDER-MAN—STAY BACK! YOU CAN’T SAVE ME!” All of this action is captured on this phenomenal John Romita Sr. cover that pops nicely against the bright yellow, red and blue color hues! The movement and attention to detail is precise and realistic, captivating both Amazing Spider-Man readers and unfamiliar viewers to take notice that: “THE MAN-WOLF STRIKES AGAIN!” Overstreet 2020 NM- 9.2 value = $110. According to the CGC Census Report as of Tuesday, April 27, 2021, out of a total of 895 Universal copies graded, only 73 copies were graded in 9.8 with only 1 copy graded higher in 9.9! This represents a rarity factor of only 8.16% of the total population! This stunning copy is definitely WORLD CLASS! It’s extremely difficult to locate a copy that doesn’t show a slight overlap of the front or back cover appearing on the opposite side. With that being said, this beautiful 1973 specimen is 99.9% PERFECTLY WRAPPED and CENTERED and contains PERFECT WHITE PAGES! (SIDE NOTE: The scans captured multiple glares due to the inner well containing multiple ripples; it will eventually be re-encapsulated into the latest generation CGC Holder!) In closing, I won this pristine copy in Comic Link’s Focused Auction in January of 2021! I was ecstatic when I was notified as the winning bidder and I’m proud to showcase this immaculate copy in Arachnophobia! Happy Collecting & Enjoy the Hunt! -Professor Pecora ASM #125 CGC 9.8 WP is featured in Professor Pecora's ASM CGC Registry Set entitled "Arachnophobia!"

Hi, all: I've consigned several Romita Sr CGC SIGNATURE SERIES ASM books to Heritage. The auctions end Sunday, Oct 25th. All books are signed by Romita Sr, and some are also signed by others, including Roy Thomas and Gerry Conway. Romita's signature is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain and will now cost you $100 per signature, if you can get it. Roy Thomas and Gerry Conway signatures are $30 each. All books are from my personal collection and NONE have been pressed! Here's a listing and links to all of the Sig Series books I've put on consignment: ASM 54 https://comics.ha.com/itm/silver-age-1956-1969-/the-amazing-spider-man-54-signature-series-john-romita-marvel-1967-cgc-vf-80-off-white-pages/a/122043-17033.s?ic4=GalleryView-Thumbnail-071515 ASM 57 https://comics.ha.com/itm/silver-age-1956-1969-/the-amazing-spider-man-57-signature-series-john-romita-marvel-1968-cgc-vf-80-off-white-to-white-pages/a/122043-17035.s?ic4=GalleryView-Thumbnail-071515 ASM 74 https://comics.ha.com/itm/silver-age-1956-1969-/the-amazing-spider-man-74-signature-series-john-romita-marvel-1969-cgc-vf-85-off-white-to-white-pages/a/122043-17041.s?ic4=GalleryView-Thumbnail-071515 ASM 77 https://comics.ha.com/itm/silver-age-1956-1969-/the-amazing-spider-man-77-signature-series-john-romita-marvel-1969-cgc-vf-80-off-white-to-white-pages/a/122043-17042.s?ic4=GalleryView-Thumbnail-071515 ASM 78 https://comics.ha.com/itm/silver-age-1956-1969-/the-amazing-spider-man-78-signature-series-john-romita-marvel-1969-cgc-vf-85-off-white-to-white-pages/a/122043-17043.s?ic4=GalleryView-Thumbnail-071515 ASM 79 https://comics.ha.com/itm/silver-age-1956-1969-/the-amazing-spider-man-79-signature-series-john-romita-marvel-1969-cgc-vf-80-off-white-to-white-pages/a/122043-17044.s?ic4=GalleryView-Thumbnail-071515 ASM 80 https://comics.ha.com/itm/bronze-age-1970-1979-/the-amazing-spider-man-80-signature-series-john-romita-marvel-1970-cgc-vf-80-white-pages/a/122043-17045.s?ic4=GalleryView-Thumbnail-071515 ASM 87 https://comics.ha.com/itm/bronze-age-1970-1979-/the-amazing-spider-man-87-signature-series-john-romita-marvel-1970-cgc-vf-80-off-white-to-white-pages/a/122043-17046.s?ic4=GalleryView-Thumbnail-071515 ASM 91 https://comics.ha.com/itm/bronze-age-1970-1979-/the-amazing-spider-man-91-signature-series-john-romita-marvel-1970-cgc-vf-80-white-pages/a/122043-17047.s?ic4=GalleryView-Thumbnail-071515 ASM 94 https://comics.ha.com/itm/bronze-age-1970-1979-/the-amazing-spider-man-94-signature-series-john-romita-marvel-1971-cgc-nm-92-off-white-to-white-pages/a/122043-17048.s?ic4=GalleryView-Thumbnail-071515 ASM 97 https://comics.ha.com/itm/bronze-age-1970-1979-/the-amazing-spider-man-97-signature-series-john-romita-marvel-1971-cgc-fn-65-off-white-to-white-pages/a/122043-17049.s?ic4=GalleryView-Thumbnail-071515 ASM 123 https://comics.ha.com/itm/bronze-age-1970-1979-/the-amazing-spider-man-123-signature-series-john-romita-marvel-1973-cgc-vf-85-white-pages/a/122043-17050.s?ic4=GalleryView-Thumbnail-071515 ASM 130 https://comics.ha.com/itm/bronze-age-1970-1979-/the-amazing-spider-man-130-signature-series-john-romita-and-others-marvel-1974-cgc-nm-mt-98-white-pages/a/122043-17051.s?ic4=GalleryView-Thumbnail-071515 ASM 135 https://comics.ha.com/itm/bronze-age-1970-1979-/the-amazing-spider-man-135-signature-series-john-romita-marvel-1974-cgc-vf-85-off-white-to-white-pages/a/122043-17052.s?ic4=GalleryView-Thumbnail-071515 ASM 299 https://comics.ha.com/itm/modern-age-1980-present-/the-amazing-spider-man-299-signature-series-todd-mcfarlane-and-others-marvel-1988-cgc-nm-94-white-pages/a/122043-17060.s?ic4=GalleryView-Thumbnail-071515 ANNUAL 4 https://comics.ha.com/itm/silver-age-1956-1969-/the-amazing-spider-man-annual-4-signature-series-john-romita-marvel-1967-cgc-vf-85-off-white-to-white-pages/a/122043-17066.s?ic4=GalleryView-Thumbnail-071515 ANNUAL 7 https://comics.ha.com/itm/bronze-age-1970-1979-/the-amazing-spider-man-annual-7-signature-series-john-romita-marvel-1970-cgc-nm-92-off-white-to-white-pages/a/122043-17067.s?ic16=ViewItem-BrowseTabs-Auction-Open-SearchResults-120115&lotPosition=64|0
