Story: Stan Lee and Steve Ditko Art: Steve Ditko ("Because Picasso was out of town"). Colors: Stan Goldberg. Lettering: Artie Simek. First appearance: Kraven the Hunter. First mention: Mary Jane Watson. Provenance: From the Steve Ditko Estate, CGC-certified as Steve Ditko's personal copy, and with a certificate of authenticity signed by Mr. Patrick S. Ditko, Steve Ditko's brother. Not cleaned and pressed in order to preserve all traces of Steve Ditko's handling. GPAnalysis: A non-Ditko Collection 4.5 sold for $1260 in 9/22. A Ditko Collection 6.0 sold for $4320 in 9/21. A note on the Ditko Collection: Steve Ditko owned from one to three copies of each of the 41 Spider-Man comics that he drew (comprising Amazing Fantasy #15, Amazing Spider-Man #s 1-38, and Amazing Spider-Man Annual #s 1 & 2). The only complete set of 41 Spidey comics belonging to Ditko is featured in this sale; an incomplete set of 23 Spidey comics was offered last year by another auction house; and a final incomplete set of 19 Spidey comics will be offered by PBA next year. Ditko Collection Census: There are two Ditko Collection copies of ASM #15: 4.5 and 6.0. Kraven the Hunter cruises Manhattan in search of his elusive quarry. Spidey's initial encounter with Kraven leaves the wall-crawler a weak-kneed bundle of nerves ("I — I feel kinda woozy! ...Darn these shaking hands of mine! ...What's HAPPENING to me?"), but their evening rendezvous in Central Park finds a dominant Spider-Man back on top ("How does it FEEL to be on the receiving end for a change?"). Enjoying the Spidey Sale? Order a fully-illustrated softcover catalogue for 30 bucks. Only about 100 copies were printed and they're going fast.
