This is a January 1966 Marvel Comics Amazing Spider-Man #32 2nd Curt Connors in Fine Plus (F+) Comic book is in Fine Plus (F+) Condition with the Noticeable Defects being some spine stress and wear, denting and color loss upper left corner, edge wear, writing upper left back cover (2.00 in pencil) and browning pages
WHO IS THE MASTER PLANNER? We find out this issue. IS BETTY BRANT THE GIRL FOR PETER? We find out this issue. CAN SERUM ISO-36 SAVE AUNT MAY FROM THE RADIATION COURSING THROUGH HER SYSTEM? Not if it's stolen but Curt Connors (appearing for the second time) is sure if Spidey gets it back it will. CAN A DESPERATE SPIDER-MAN DEFEAT THE MASTER PLANNER AND GET THE ISOTOPE BACK? Probably. He's really mad. As a matter of fact, the only thing that can stop an enraged Spider-Man is to drop a building on him. It would be a shame if that happened. SPOILER: the next issue's cover is REALLY ICONIC and this issue is arguably more important since this is how we get there. THRILLS AND CHILLS IN THE MIGHTY MARVEL MANNER - AS YOU LIKE IT!
Is the above hyperbole? Sure, that's what Stan excelled at but he and I are not wrong. This is a Big Time Spider-Man issue with Big Time happenings that may just affect our hero and his cast of characters going forward. For those of you that don't care about the awesome story and are into "Keys," this is the second appearance of Dr. Curtis Connors, whom we all know better in his scaly form (but not in this issue).
The comic grades approximately Fine Plus (F+) meaning it's been loved but not as much as it could have been. The Noticeable Defects center around the dent and color break in the upper left corner and a fair bit of Marvel chipping on the edges. There is some small amount of spine wear and someone wrote "2.00" lightly in pencil on the back cover. It's pages are also browning. That being said, the comic presents very well and the colors are outstanding. They really pop which helps with this comic's obvious eye appeal. If you're looking for a higher mid-grade Spider-Man comic featuring the Dream Team of Stan Lee and Steve Ditko doing what they do best, this issue will definitely cause heads to turn. It also makes a great reading copy and you should be reading it anyway because it's awesome.
A Note About Comics:
Though we have many years of comic book experience, we are not professional graders and comic book grading is a very subjective thing. Professional outfits like CGC state that if you were to submit the same book multiple times for grading it would not necessarily receive the same grade because everyone sees something different. That being said, we've attempted to err on the side of caution. Our grades, in the majority of cases, are at least a half grade lower than what we feel they actually are to make sure anyone who orders from us is happy with their purchase. The grades were determined using Overstreet's comic book grading guide as well as the Ebay comic book grading guide. The prices were determined using the Online Comic Price Guide and Comic Book Realm's excellent price guide to reflect the entire range of pricing differences. As always, use the photographs for additional information and feel free to ask questions.
