This issue features the Inhumans and Black Widow. Our WP 9.8 comes from the John Fantucchio Collection and is one of 33 topping the census. We acquired the book from the 9/1/2018 CL Auction.

In addition to being Ghost Rider’s first appearance in his own magazine, this issue also features the first appearance of the Son of Satan, Daimon Hellstorm. When we bought this book back in 2008, there were just two 9.8s in the census, but it is now one of many highest graded copies. We acquired the book in the 2/4/2008 CL Auction.*

Giant Size X-men #1 probably represents the Holy Grail of the Bronze Age. It features the first appearance of the new X-Men, Storm, Nightcrawler, Colossus & Thunderbird, as well as the second full appearance of Wolverine. Our copy is tied with eight others for highest graded in the Signature Series, and will forever hold that distinction with Stan’s recent passing.

Spectacular Spider-Man #1 features an appearance by the Tarantula. Like many Bronze Age books, 9.8s of this one are exceedingly common. We picked up our WP example in the April 2021 CC Auction when it was going for less than its registry point values and recent sales. We really have no interest in the run, but would like to add more Bronze Age keys to our collection.
