American Comics Update: Mighty Marvel Firsts/Spider-Mania: 1st Mary Jane cameo in Amazing #25
*Marvel: Amazing Spider-Man #25 features the first of several cameo appearances of Mary Jane (her face was not shown until #42), as well as the debuts of Professor Smythe and his Spider Slayer, the first incarnation of which was a marvellously fluid Ditko invention. Virtually every issue of Amazing from these early years was a landmark! This pence stamped copy is a very reasonable mid-grade, with average but unobtrusive edge wear and a tiny colour-breaking crease across bottom right cover corner. A reflective cover with good colour, tight firm staples and supple white to off-white pages. The inside covers have narrow tan strips at the edges and there is a 1 cm nick at bottom spine.
