SET DETAILS
Owner's Description
Issue #27 features one of the more iconic early Spidey covers, with a nighttime scene featuring Spidey and his nemesis Green Goblin. In this issue, Patch is revealed as Frederick Foswell. The issue also features the "Death" of the Crime-Master.
Our WP 9.8 comes from the Curator Collection and was part of Colorado Comics amazing Spidey set, which sold for a large fortune in the September 2021 Heritage Auction. Considered one of the best Silver Age collections ever discovered, the Curator boasts an Avengers #1 in 9.4, an Amazing Spider-Man #1 in 9.8, an X-men #1 in 9.8 and a Tales of Suspense #47 in 9.9, among many others. The collection began in the late '50s and continued into the '80s, its condition peaking in 1962. They were amassed by an employee of a museum (hence the name), who stored the comics in tight packs on the museum's premises. John Hauser acquired most of them in the '90s but sold many without a pedigree identification. As a result some copies have lost their pedigree as the books do not have any distinctive markings.
I ended up paying for this book over many months, but how often do you get to acquire a book that has it all: a 9.8 WP Pedigree of a rare early ASM.
