Luke Cage: Hero For Hire #9 (1973 Marvel Comics/ Nicolas Cage Collection)
Collection: My Pedigrees, Provenances & Special Collections
I call this one "Cage's Cage". It's nice to own a piece of Nicolas Cage's original collection. And while this is only a 4.5 grade I'd like to think this means the book was well read by the man himself ... which is of course awesome!
Story synopsis of "Where Angels Fear to Tread" from Marvel Wikipedia:
"Breaking into the Baxter Building, Luke Cage engages in a brief battle with the Fantastic Four which ends in a draw. After the fight, Luke explains that he came to the Baxter Building to obtain a ship to fly into Latveria and get the money that Dr. Doom owes him. Convincing Reed Richards, Luke is given one of the Fantastic Four's sky crafts and Luke flies it into Latveria.
When the ship is suspended in the air at the Latverian boarder, Luke fights off Doom's army. Traveling the countryside, Luke comes into contact with the robot rebellion led by the Faceless One. Luke agrees to aid in their attack on Doom's castle, but only for the purposes of getting the money he's owed.
While the robots keep the palace guards busy, Luke fights his way into Doom's throne room where the two come to blows over the payment that Luke is owed. During the fight, Doom's armor is critically damaged, making him an easy target for the Faceless One. However, not wanting the man who owes him money to be killed, defeats the Faceless One, who abandons his android body in order to escape. Impressed with Luke's determination, Dr. Doom pays Cage in full and allows him to leave Latveria. Luke quickly makes his exit leaving Doom to quell the robot uprising on his own.
Returning to the Baxter Building, the Fantastic Four (Thing in particular) want to know what Nicolas Cage’s comic book collection was renowned as one of the most impressive celebrity-owned collections of comic books.happened in Latveria, Luke disinterested in sharing stories simply walks out and takes a cab, leaving the Fantastic Four to only speculate how Doom stopped the robot uprising."
About Nicolas Cage and his comic collection (taken from Wikipedia):
"Nicolas Cage’s comic book collection was renowned as one of the most impressive celebrity-owned collections of comic books.
Cage has been described as “a consummate collector of comic books”. His lifelong passion has manifested itself in several ways. Although his real name is Nicholas Coppola, he took the name Cage from Marvel comic book hero Luke Cage.
Along with staring in comic book adaptations such as Ghost Rider, he has written a comic book series along with his oldest son Weston entitled ‘Voodoo Child’ and his son with third wife Alice Kim Cage is named Kal-el, the name given to Superman on his home planet of Krypton."
