*Marvel: One of the more tragic entries in Spider-Man’s Rogue’s Gallery is the Lizard, aka Dr Curt Connors, a dedicated scientist and devoted husband and father whose research into a regenerative serum, to help himself and other amputees, went horribly wrong when the lizard-like properties of tissue regeneration ran rampant, turning him into a humanoid reptile. The Lizard debuted in the sixth issue of Spider-Man, and we have a nice pence printed copy new in approaching mid-grade. A clean cover, apart from the previous owner’s small monogram below the issue number box, with good colours. There is some wear, particularly at the spine, but the spine is intact and the staples are tight and firm there and at centrefold. A miniscule corner is off bottom right and a slightly larger corner off top right (a much smaller extension of this carries through the comic, affecting just the tiniest edge of the top right margins). Off-white page quality is otherwise quite reasonable. There is a near-vertical central crease up from the bottom edge towards Spidey’s figure that only faintly breaks colour. The back cover has minor corner and edge creasing. High resolution images are available on request.
