Auction details
Created in 1961 by the legendary duo Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, The Fantastic Four is universally recognized as the series that launched the modern Marvel Universe. With their debut in Fantastic Four #1, the concept of the superhero was revolutionized: for the first time, the protagonists were not infallible icons, but a family with real problems, domestic squabbles, and existential doubts.
This isn’t just a collection of comic books: it’s a piece of 20th-century pop culture history. Finding the first 150 issues in such uniformly certified condition is an extremely rare occurrence, not only on the Italian market but also on the American one. What makes this lot truly extraordinary is the consistent quality guaranteed by the EGC grading. Seeing icons like The Fantastic Four, the debut of Galactus, or the first appearance of the Silver Surfer certified by a European agency of such rigor offers collectors unprecedented investment security
In fact, each issue has been graded by EGC -European Grading Company - meaning it has been meticulously analyzed, sealed, and certified, guaranteeing the integrity and historical value of every single page. EGC is the leading European authority dedicated to the certification and evaluation of the condition of comic books. Founded to meet the needs of an increasingly demanding collector’s market, EGC has introduced rigorous standards that allow for the determination of a comic book’s objective value.

Conditions of Sale
Pop Culture is a living reflection of the tastes, trends, and icons that mark an era. Music, cinema, television, sports, comics, games, literature, and everyday objects make up a constantly evolving universe that tells the story of who we are and what we love.
Our Pop Culture and Memorabilia department was born from this awareness: it is the point where passion, expertise, and collector’s sensibility come together to create auctions that showcase the best of our shared imagination. The appeal of memorabilia continues to grow, because what makes it special is not only its rarity, but the history it holds: a jersey worn by a great champion, an autographed vinyl record, an original costume from a cult film, an iconic comic book, a toy that marked an entire generation, or even a pair of sneakers that became a symbol of a cultural era. Our experts carefully select diverse collections ranging from sports to music, cinema to television, history to literature, including collectible sneakers, autographs, trading cards, graded comics, animation cels, models, and vintage toys. Each auction is designed to celebrate the many nuances of pop culture, offering the public not only objects, but real stories to discover and pass on.
