Massachusetts Copy
Every great hero needs a great villain—and Doctor Octopus created a top collectible with his debut as one of the most enduring bad guys in Marvel history. Amazing Spider-Man #3 is beloved by fans for a classic cover and wild pages packed with melodramatic Stan Lee dialogue and Steve Ditko's feverish artwork. Many collectors are on the prowl for this book as the excitement builds for new variations on Doc Ock as the MCU expands into the Multiverse.


This pristine, bright, Mass. Collection Pedigree copy of Amazing Spider-Man 3 is a real delight to behold. The mysteriously shrouded figure of Doctor Octopus seduces readers into seeing what this new, mechanically enhanced, super-villain has to offer. Truly an iconic Silver Age issue, and a lovingly preserved early Spidey book, this comic is a real treasure, one that is always in high demand, especially in such wonderful condition. We expect determined bidding for this classic piece of Ditko mastery.



Overstreet Guide 2015 NM- (9.2) value = $9,700.
