John Buscema and John Verpoorten - Original Cover Art for Marvel Tales #39 (Marvel, 1972). Doctor Otto Octavius has always been a favorite among Spider-Man's colorful Rogue's Gallery, and this outstanding Bronze Age cover highlights the good Doctor in all his glory, assaulting the Web-Slinger with both his costumed thugs and his steely metal arms. Can Spidey survive? We have a good feeling about the outcome, but that doesn't take away from the power of this splendiferous John Buscema composition, given weight and power by the slick Verpoorten inks. Seeing as how Doc Ock is the main villain in the upcoming 2004 "Spider-Man" feature film, this cover is a good bet for any collector! One of Ock's tentacles has been cut out and re-positioned, and there is moderate use of white-out, but this is in excellent shape for its vintage, with some light creasing at the corners that does not affect the artwork. The cover measures 11.5" x 17.5", with an image area of 10" x 15", and has been signed by John Buscema in the lower right margin. Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
