It is an awesome cover. It was almost certainly a factor in me buying brand spanking new off the newstand. I have been a long time (but not sixty years) fan of the good doctor and have just about every one of his issues, including Strange Tales 110 (first appearance) and Strange Tales 115 (origin). I’m also a proud owner of some original artwork by Gene Colan. These (while very cool) do not have the importance of this piece nor are they covers which almost always are worth more.
I wonder if the six decades comment is about his first appearance in 1963. It probably would have been better for the writer to say the cover was from 1974 in one sentence and then used a separate sentence to establish the 1963 / six decades idea.
Anyway - awesome cover indeed
