DESCRIPTION
crm/ow pages; Stan Lee Signature Series
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 series market has exploded, drawing in new collectors attracted to the charm and novelty of autographed keys, and old-school fans who might be searching for a special copy for investment purposes. It's especially nice having a key Silver Age issue like FF #1 signed by the walking personification of the Marvel Age, Stan "the Man" Lee, and this attractive 4.5 copy stands out from the pack thanks to the inscription from one of its creators. Investors and collectors alike have found that having a signed book can help it break out from the pack, making it more attractive to potential buyers and adding a little extra "zing” at auction.
Overstreet Guide 2022 VG+ (4.5) value = $13,750
