American Update: The Good Doctor Collection: Spider-Mania/Mighty Marvel Firsts: Amazing #6, with debut of the Lizard
*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 the Good Doctor copy is a pence printed comic with many flaws, but is thus very affordable. The cover is taped to the comic on the inside and there is a long taped tear horizontally across half the back cover. Many creases and wrinkles to the front cover, but just a few colour-breaking short lines and spots. The worst aspect is probably a corner off the splash page (approx 6 x 10 cm but variable diagonally) which does impinge on the story. We have shown this in an image below. All the other pages are not affected by this, although there are also two ad. pages missing. Normally we don’t sell comics with a part page missing, but this is one of those exceptions where the comic is so significant, we believe it would have collector appeal even in this condition. (For those looking for a nicer copy, we have a FN/VF copy already listed in our catalogue).
