This listing features a highly collectible 1987 first printing copy of Marvel Masterworks: The Amazing Spider-Man Volume 1, published by Marvel Comics. The true highlight of this book is an extraordinary, authentic vintage autograph inside from legendary creator Stan Lee, signed boldly in blue marker with his classic catchphrase Excelsior and a clear 1888 year date. This volume compiles the earliest web-slinging stories of Peter Parker, including Amazing Fantasy No. 15 and Amazing Spider-Man Nos. 1 to 10, making it an essential cornerstone piece for any serious comic book historian. The book itself is in amazing condition, having been completely protected from the elements. The faux leather hardcover boards remain beautiful and crisp with sharp corners and brilliant gold foil stamping on the front cover and spine panel. Internally, the pages are tightly bound, clean, and bright, with the historic Stan Lee signature remaining entirely unaffected. Please note that the original grey marble dust jacket has sustained historic water damage, resulting in heavy staining and wrinkling visible on the reverse side and flaps as shown in the images, but it has done its job perfectly in preserving the pristine book underneath.

Pains me to sell this, but I need to make space for some exciting new books!
