1st appearance of Peter Parkers Parents. Oh no! Uncle Ben! Hope Peter still has some role models! The impact of Uncle Ben trickles down in this 9.0 off-white to white pages of ASM ANNUAL #5. Glad to have this as a representation of the past in Spider-man's Life! Ah Man "Foxing", ugh! I bought this already slabbed off of eBay, and I still think it's a fun cover too. Kind of trippy really. Nice green, yellow, combination of ill at ease perfection and portrays the disorientation. Really snaps the confusion and uncomfortableness of it all. Poor Parker has some deep thoughts to consider in Stan Lee writing style. Plots and twists can only take it so far, as somethings need to be a permanent fixture to build upon and complete the character personality and form goals to overcome. Such is a hero's life compared to their day-to-day antics of being everyday people!
Complete with a back cover picture of Marvel Cards now that CGC is grading those, card #1! Stating the origins of Peter Parker as Spider-Man, and also stating that his parents were somehow finished off by the Red-Skull. Dastardly indeed for any Marvel loving fan, those are some hard pills to swallow!
Grader Notes:
Left Center Back Cover Small Lite Foxing;
Right Bottom Front Cover Wear Breaks Color.

1st appearance of Monica Rambeau the Captain Marvel! Getting out of her comfort zone and found with new powers, she may end up a mainstay if Disney, at the moment, has anything to say about it. Getting in early and having my "raw's" graded! She rallies behind but comes when needed. No, not an ideal everyday hero as of yet in the movies, yet in the comics she even had a solo series. Seems she didn’t warm up to everyone at first in comics with the classic scenario question of, "why?" Getting in her whims may prove faithful if and when she is portrayed in film! They had no problem when she would save the day though. Maybe that's where they got the stubborn (perception) persona, was from Captain Marvel for the movie with Brie Larson, but the child of that 1st film will have a chance to shine! As simple as it all is, it could be that it is just a different character type and brand, but not all Captains are the "same!" Different occurrences that will play out!
Complete with a back cover picture of "other" annual stories, annual #4, and an early Mysterio appearance as well. These annuals are fleshing out the Spidey character like nobody's business, and he lives to web sling another day?
Grader Notes:
light finger bends on cover;
light rippling to cover;
light spine stress lines to cover;
moderate bend top of front cover;
small crease right bottom of front cover.

1st Appearance of Moses Magnum, and while it is the 3rd "full" appearance of the Punisher, there was a cameo type in between the 1st and 2nd full appearance, which the cameo is in ASM #134. This particular copy of GSSP #4 has no Mark jeweler insert for this issue. Sigh! My Mark jeweler run ends at 3 with the 1st full appearance issue then the cameo, along with the 2nd full appearance issues. That, however, is too be expected, as bound books such as these rarely have "inserts." I've read this issue as it is action packed! Spider-man and the Punisher make nice in this story to realize who the real enemy is and team up! Frank Castle and Spidey have a plan! Moses Magnum behind well supplied sentries and a fortified dwelling, where Magnum is stockpiling weapons! Punisher takes aim, Spidey isn't in for the kill, and figures to talk old Mr. Castle out of shooting the enemy. The whole place goes up in flames and the Punisher, did he get his way? Spidey stays to the end and double checks.
Complete with a back cover picture of the prescreen pass before released to theaters of, "Operation Fortune!" Where another arms deal is to be stopped and is something that plays out quite well on screen and in comic book format. These are high risk takers to get their man or woman!
Grader Notes:
