Among the international interests is a Spectacular Spider-Man #1 Mexican Edition graded CGC x JSA 8.0 signed by Stan Lee (lot 82189). Titled “El Soprendente Hombre Araña” when it was published by La Prensa in 1969, this comic features a cover by John Romita and a JSA-authenticated signature from Stan Lee. With the same striking painted cover as the US magazine, it showcased a more mature, dramatic take on Peter Parker and helped introduce readers in Mexico to a sophisticated new vision of Marvel storytelling at the time.

Also speeding through the auction is a Flash #105 Australian Edition graded CGC 7.5 (lot 82072). Published locally as The Hundred Comic Monthly #31, this anthology comic features stories originally printed in Flash #105 in 1959. This story marked the rebirth of the Scarlet Speedster for the Silver Age of Comics. Reviving the title after a decade-long hiatus, it starred Barry Allen, whose scientific origin and sleek new costume redefined the superhero genre. This particular Australian comic also included stories from Tomahawk #59, House of Secrets #1 and Batman #64.

CGC follows the same grading standards for international comics as it does for American comics. For some terrific examples of CGC-graded international comics, check out the CGC Gallery of Certified International Comic Books.
