ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN ANNUAL 1 PGX 9.6 KITTY PRIDE, X-MEN

This is the first Ultimate Spider-Man Annual in beautiful, investment-grade condition!

This book has been professionally graded in NEAR MINT PLUS (9.6) condition by Professional Grading Experts (PGX)
and sealed in a durable, clear plastic comic book holder.

The story:

Kitty Pryde's not having a good day, as she engages in typical training in the danger room,
feeling like something is missing in her life, something that isn't X-Men related. Peter Parker's
having the same types of thoughts, as he fights the Rhino in downtown New York. He defeats
the Rhino, gets a less than stellar reception from the armed forces, and takes off.

At a bbq with the rest of the X-Men, Kitty is frustrated by Bobby Drake's not missing her, and
disappears from lunch. At the same time, Peter ruminates on why he can't have a special someone
in his life, because of how dangerous his life is as Spider-Man, and his inability to trust Mary Jane
to do what he says when her life may be at risk.

Kitty talks with Jean about being lonely, and wants to maybe try and contact Spider-Man, to try
and date someone outside of the X-Men and the Institute. Jean's not sure it's a good idea, but Kitty
persuades her. Kitty nervously calls Peter at home, and after an awkward beginning to the
conversation, the two plan to hang out together after school one day. Peter and Kitty meet outside
of his school and go to the local mall, and discuss mutants, superhero friends (or the lack of), secret
identities, and romantic relationships. When Flash and Kong pelt the two with some garbage, they
leave the mall and head up to the roof of the building. Kitty continues to talk to Peter about relationships,
and how maybe he could date someone if they could protect themselves and had powers of their own.
Kitty freaks out when she says this, and dives through the building, but then comes back, even though
she's embarrassed.

Peter tells Kitty that he wasn't freaked out, and as the two are about to kiss, an explosion is heard
in the distance. Peter puts on his costume, and Kitty demands to come with him. He wants her to stay
on the roof, but once she proves to him that she can't be hurt, by putting her arm through his chest,
he swings down with her in his arms.

The commotion on the street is caused by Herman Schultz, the Shocker. As he blasts members of law
enforcement, Kitty shows up on the scene, and Shocker blasts right through her. She mocks him,
phases through his gauntlets, short-circuiting them, and then lets Spider-Man finish him up by making
him run into a web-net. As the onlookers applaud, Peter and Kitty swing away.

Back on the rooftops, the two talk briefly before the X-jet shows up to pick up Kitty. As the jet hovers
above, the two decide they'd like to get together again, when Kitty asks Peter if he was going to kiss
her before. He says that he was going to, and then, as the X-Jet hovers above, the two finally kiss.
She disappears into the jet. When Peter gets home, he finds an e-mail from Kitty, and he's pretty
happy with the turn of events.

An excellent copy for your collection that will make a great display piece!!

ATTENTION RARE COMIC COLLECTORS:
RARE COMICS always has a group of comic book and comic-related auctions running on eBay!
We try to satisfy the interests of all comic book collectors from the classic Golden Age to the hot
Modern books! Please take the time to review our current auctions by clicking here!
If you win multiple auctions during the same period (and/or buy items at the RARE COMICS STORE)
your books will be grouped together to save on shipping costs. Normally, up to 6-12 books (depending
on thickness) can be shipped at the same shipping cost as a single book! This can substantially reduce
your costs especially if you are bidding on low-cost books!!

RETURN POLICY AND GUARANTEE:
I have been buying and selling comic books for over 30 years at shows, through comic
dealers, and, more recently, from my on-line store, and at various auction sites. I offer all my
customers accurate (conservative) grading, a great price, fast shipment and a positive
buying experience. But, as any true comic collector or dealer knows, grading is a subjective
art and photo's of books (even large multiple photos) are no substitute for holding the book
in your hands and reviewing it. I want to give you that flexibility even though you are buying
on-line. So, I offer a "no-questions-asked" 7-day return policy which you will not find with most
other comic dealers. If you are not satisfied with your purchase FOR ANY REASON, you may
return your order within 7 days of receipt for a full refund. I only ask that you pay return shipping
charges and that the books be returned in the same condition that they were shipped.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a PGX (Professional Grading Experts) graded book. This comic book
has been carefully sealed inside a protective, tamper-evident PGX holder. Breaking the seals
of this holder voids the PGX certification.  Due to the cost and lead-time involved in getting comics
graded and sealed by PGX, I can only refund your payment if the book is returned with the seals still intact.

Some notes on the cover photo used for this auction: Most important, this is the actual book you are
bidding on, not a file photo. Since this book is too large for my scanner, I have to take two scans
of the book and "cut and paste" them together to create the image you see. The two images are pasted
together just under the PGX information sheet at the top of the holder. This may cause some alignment
problems at this point which are not actually on the book itself. Also, due to the fact that the PGX case
is clear plastic, it tends to reflect the scanner's light. You may see some white "hatch marks," at the bottom
of the scan and/or patches or spots elsewhere on the scan. These are not on the actual book or case!

Buy with confidence and enjoy your purchases!
I am an experienced and ethical dealer concerned with your satisfaction!
