Item Description

STEVE DITKO, the creator and only artist for Spider-Man comics up to this point, handles both pencils and inks (and supposedly a major plotting assist) for AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #10, the first appearance of THE ENFORCERS!

•••• The cover of this issue was a last-minute replacement for Steve Ditko's original cover art, which was rejected! The figures of the Enforcers are pencilled and inked by Ditko, but apparently Jack Kirby was called upon to quickly draw and ink the foreground figure of Spider-Man! ••••

In "The ENFORCERS!", Big Man, Fancy Dan, Ox and Montana are out to force all the other gangs in New Your into submission, and beat up a lot of thugs in their mission! Peter's boss, Jameson thinks that the head of the gang and Spider-Man are the same person and asks the police to arrest Spider-Man on sight! The Enforcers try to 'shake down' Betty Brant - a big mistake - which brings them into direct conflict with Spider-Man!

This is a well-read copy of SPIDER-MAN #10, but with a good binding, no chunks missing or small tears or stress lines. There is a slight spine roll to the front, a bit of writing at the top of the title page, and a blunted upper corner. But Steve Ditko's cool artwork is unaffected . . and it's like going back in a time machine to see this very early adventure of the young superhero who would become Marvel's biggest star! The pages have normal toning, but no foxing. We follow Overstreets grading descriptions and this fits the bill for a 5.0 VG/FN.

Overstreet prices this issue in a grade of 5.0 VG/FN at $240.00 . . . but we think $150.00 is much more reasonable, and gives you this issue at the best price on HipComic !! And with our FREE shipping, this Spidey deal is unbeatable!! A rare chance to affordably own and enjoy a very early outing of the AMAZING SPIDER-MAN!
