GUEST: This is a... what I believe is a comic book cover sketch.

My brother acquired it some time between '83 and '87 in Houston.

He passed away in, in '87, so all of his belongings were boxed up.

And we just started going through that stuff and found it.

APPRAISER: So, you are correct that this is a original piece of comic art.

It is an original comic cover.

Now, everybody knows the subject: the man, myth, the legend-- Spider-Man, Peter Parker.

However, most people in the United States know the comic as Amazing Spider-Man.

So some viewers to this might be a little uneasy trying to figure out what it is.

So this is the original cover to Super Spider-Man with the Super-Heroes from June 1976.

GUEST: Oh.

APPRAISER: The reason why "Super Spider-Man" might be a title unfamiliar to most here in the United States is because this was a British market comic.

GUEST: Oh.

APPRAISER: It's done in a horizontal format compared to the traditional vertical layout of comic art for a cover.

And if we look at the lines here that are go-- the faint pencil lines...

GUEST: Mm-hmm.

APPRAISER: This would have been the spine of the book, where there was information, the date would be lower here.

GUEST: Oh.

APPRAISER: And this is the title area.

Now, the original cover for Amazing Spider-Man 126 was done by John Romita, Sr. Lord of Comic Art, father of John Romita Jr. Romita Sr. and Jr., when it comes to Spider-Man, their name is synonymous with Amazing Spider-Man art.

So you're not getting a cover by John Romita Sr., you're getting a recreation of the Amazing Spider-Man 126 cover for the Super Spider-Man with the Super-Heroes comic, issue 175.

The value of this is-- A, it's an original published cover, but B, it's an original published cover recreating a wicked iconic John Romita Sr.

I mean, for an Amazing Spider-Man fan, Marvel fan, this is the best.

And it's a great way for a collector to kind of get a piece of Romita artwork without having to pay that price tag.

So I would say, conservatively, at auction for the Super Spidey cover, I'd say it's easily a $4,000 to $6,000 piece of comic art.

GUEST: Wow.

Oh, my gosh.

Oh, my goodness.

That is... wonderful.

APPRAISER: Not a bad little treasure for your brother to leave you in storage.

GUEST: (laughing): No, not a bad treasure.
