Two icons in 60s pop culture, Frank Zappa and Marvel Comics artist and creator Jack Kirby, were friends that both had substantial impacts on society at that pivitol decade in America. Collectors of comic books published during the "Silver Age" of that art form may have even come across advertisements for Zappa's "We're Only in It for the Money" within the pages those Marvel Comics published circa 1968. Zappa was the first to advertise Rock 'n Roll in comic books. Jack Kirby was the co-creator and an early collaborator with writer Stan Lee on many of Marvel's most famous and enduring comics and characters...Captain America, The Fantastic Four, The Hulk, Silver Surfer, and The X-Men as well as Thor, Iron Man, and Black Panther. This lot includes highlights from Frank Zappa's comic book collection, made up of Silver Age Marvel Comics of the "12 cent/12¢" era that concluded in 1968. This collection features many of Marvel's most famous titles, including The Amazing Spider-Man, Avengers, Daredevil, Doctor Strange, Fantastic Four, Journey Into Mystery, Sgt Fury, Strange Tales, Submariner, Tales To Astonish, Tales of Suspense, Thor, and X-Men, as well as a few western titles like Kid Outlaw, Rawhide Kid, and Two Gun Kid.
