DESCRIPTION
crm/ow pgs, Signature Series, Signed by Stan Lee 2/25/12
Kirby cvr/art; origin & 1st app. Fantastic Four; 1st Mole Man; the Marvel Age begins here (11/61) Comic Book Impact rating of 10 (CBI)This is the book that launched the Silver Age of Comics and the Marvel Age of storytelling, courtesy of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's extraordinary vision. This classic collectible also has the thrilling origin story providing the first appearances of Mister Fantastic, the Thing, Human Torch, and Invisible Girl--along with the debut of the tragically evil Mole Man. The pop-culture passion for Fantastic Four is now set to get even more heated, with excitement building over Marvel Studios finally recovering the film rights to the company's first super team!
In recent years, the signature market has exploded, drawing in new collectors attracted to the charm and novelty of autographed keys, and older collectors whose interest in comics may have waned. It's especially nice having a key Marvel issue signed by the walking personification of the Marvel Age, Stan "the Man" Lee, and this attractive 7.0 copy of this important key stands out from the pack thanks to the inscription from its creator. Investors and collectors have found that having a comic signed can help it break out from the pack, making it more attractive to potential buyers and adding a little "zing". Not that this clean, white 7.0 unrestored copy needs any help -- but, certainly, it makes it all the more special and all the more likely to attract bids and compliments in this mega-auction.

Artist Information
Jack Kirby is called 'The King of Comics' for a reason, during his career that spanned six decades he gave us many of the most iconic characters the medium would ever see. From his introduction of Captain America at the height of World War II it was clear he wasn't your ordinary comics artist. But it was his creative explosion at Marvel Comics in the 1960's that cemented his legacy, over a short period of time Kirby would give us The Fantastic Four, Iron Man, The Hulk, The X-Men, Thor, Ant-Man and Nick Fury just to name a few. Kirby would then go to DC and create his Fourth World, introducing Darkseid, Mister Miracle, The New Gods and a host of cosmic supporting players. Long live The King.
