American Comics Update: Spider-Mania/Mighty Marvel Firsts: Debut of the Lizard in Amazing #6
*Marvel: One of the more tragic entries in Spider-Man’s Rogue’s Gallery is the Lizard, a.k.a. Dr. Curt Connors, a dedicated scientist and devoted husband and father whose research into a regenerative serum, to help himself and other amputees, went horribly wrong when the lizard-like properties of tissue regeneration ran rampant, turning him into a humanoid reptile. The Lizard debuted in the sixth issue of Spider-Man, and we are delighted to have a copy new into stock in attractive mid-grade. This pence printed copy is clean and unmarked with strong colour and some gloss. The corners are just a little blunted, with a tiny chip out of the top edge at the left corner of the masthead box and an even smaller chip out of the right edge at centre. Just above the latter is a thin tear, barely visible, that extends horizontally from the right edge for less than 2 cm. Leading from this are a couple of short creases that only faintly break colour. The spine has only very minor wear and the remainder of the edges are unworn. Pages are a supple off-white to cream and staples are tight and flat at spine and centrefold. Inside covers are tanned at edges without sign of brittleness, and the grade has been adjusted to reflect this. A very attractive copy that looks better than the grade awarded and presents well. High grade images are available on request.
