*Marvel: Something very special this update. Spidey squares off against the Sinister Six in his first annual from 1964 in a 41 page Lee/Ditko masterpiece. Dr Octopus, Electro, Kraven the Hunter, Mysterio, the Vulture and the Sandman team up to take on the webspinner in what is arguably Steve Ditko’s finest work on his co-creation. Nowhere is this more exemplified than in the glorious full page panels of Spidey fighting each of his foes in turn. The remainder of this 72 page annual is chock-full of pin-ups and superb features, also all illustrated by Ditko. In VF+ grade at £1350. An extraordinarily well-preserved copy, exceptional in this high grade. Virtually no spine wear, tight and flat, perfect staples, lovely off white pages. Great cover gloss and colour with vivid white background. A couple of tiny marks at spine edge and across bottom of cover stop it being NM. The nicest copy we’ve ever seen of this rare item, which would grace the most prestigious of Spider-Man collections. High resolution scans of front and back covers are available on request. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
