Iron Man #1

I picked up one of my Holy Grail's this week. Iron Man #1, Vol. 1 May 1968.  Iron Man's first ongoing solo series. The series was launched following the success of the Iron Man stories in Tales of Suspense. Truth be told I didn't think I'd ever own this book but I got a really good deal on it $250.00. It's not a perfect copy, perhaps a VG at best but it's good enough for me. I'm super excited about owning this book.

Amazing Spiderman # 67

December 1968, a really nice John Romita cover, I just picked up a nice high grade copy of this issue yesterday. With the exception of a small amount of spine roll (hardly noticeable) and a slight yellowing the book is pretty much perfect. It was hanging on the wall with a price tag of $70.00 but I managed to talk him down to $40.00. It's now the oldest Spiderman in my collection. Not a key book by any means, but still a nice book to have.
