A 15% BUYER'S PREMIUM WILL BE ADDED TO THIS ITEM AT CONCLUSION OF THE AUCTION ow/white pgs; QES Certified: Criteria met: impressive prime focal area + glossy + deep color strike (red, blue & black) Steve Ditko cover/art; 1st app of Doctor Octopus (Otto Octavius); debut of "Spider's Web" fan letter section; Comic Book Impact Rating 8 (CBI) Microsoft CopyEvery 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.
From the fiery reds and yellows on this cover, down to the deep dark greens of this mysterious new villain’s wardrobe, this is one humdinger of a copy of AMS #3. This groundbreaking issue features stunning graphics by Steve Ditko and the introduction of one of the greatest baddies of Marvel’s Silver Age stable. This QES-certified Microsoft collection copy is an especially attractive example of a book that has continually risen in value over the years, and with the recent appearance of Alfred Molina reprising his role as Doc Ock in “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” the sky's the limit on this issue, particularly a copy in such an impressive state of preservation.
