This is just ridiculous. This should be hanging in some Marvel Museum.

I think this cover and the splash from Avengers 58 (in Scott Williams's gallery) are the two most important John Buscema pieces on CAF...or anywhere.

Jim, there are a scant few collectors who seem to have all the truly great stuff. You are definitely one of the top three....and this beauty proves it. You have great tastes. Congrats on this one!

This cover has everything, the character, the drawing, Big John Buscema on pencils and these glorious sixties when everything was possible. You can hardly do better. Congratulations James.

Holy sh!t, you actually f•••ing own this!?!
I lost my mind just seeing it in person at the Franklin Institute exhibit back in 2019. I have had a framed copy of the actual issue on my wall for 15+ years, it is truly the one book I may never sell. Such an awesome cover. Wow.
