Amazing Spider-Man #8 CGC 5.5 1st Living Brain, Ditko Cover, Marvel 1964

AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #8 (Marvel Comics, January 1964). CGC Universal 5.5 · Fine- · Off-White to White Pages · Cert #3762993009. FIRST APPEARANCE: The Living Brain - an artificial intelligence built by Mr. Petty, hijacked by two technicians with bad intentions, and let loose through Peter Parker's high school. The figure has resurfaced across modern Spider-Man continuity, anchoring this 1964 debut to current storylines.

HERO-VS-HERO BATTLE: Spider-Man crashes a party thrown by Doris Evans for Johnny Storm. The fight escalates to include the entire Fantastic Four.

Six-page backup with Jack Kirby pencils and Steve Ditko inks - a dual-key for Spidey and FF collectors. CREATIVE TEAM: Stan Lee (script). Steve Ditko (pencils, inks, cover).

Jack Kirby (FF backup pencils). WHY IT MATTERS: Ditko's yellow-field robot cover is one of the most graphically distinctive of Spider-Man's first year. Mid-grade Silver Age Spider-Man copies are increasingly scarce on the market as long-term collectors tighten supply. Off-white to white pages on a 1964 Marvel is meaningful page color for the grade tier.
