American Comics Update: Spider-Mania: The Totally Amazing Spider-Man Collection: Classic Venom Cover on Amazing #316
*Marvel: If you’re looking for really nice copies of Amazing Spider-Man for your collection, then look no further than this Collection. All high grade; even the few that fall below VF (and most are above) are really good-looking copies – no duds here, and nearly all cents copies. Smack in the middle of Todd McFarlane’s run on Amazing Spider-Man comes issue #316, featuring the first cover appearance of Venom, the character that defined this period. The cover image portrays what the character is all about. There’s little doubt that Venom is one of the Marvel characters originating later than the Bronze Age who has gone on to become a cornerstone of the Marvel Universe. This is a beautiful high grade copy, great colour and gloss, tight and firm staples, white to off-white pages, square corners. Tiny handling marks at the right edge and the merest suggestion of a tiny dink at base of spine are the only defects.
