*Marvel: Amazing Spider-Man #300 is just about the most sought after post Bronze Age comic, so we’re delighted to present the Good Doctor Collection copy this week. There were few more significant debuts, in the latter days of the 20th Century, than everyone’s favourite brain-eating symbiote Venom, who graduated from being a genetically modified costume in a jar to the Alpha Dog of Spidey’s Rogue’s Gallery! Having debuted in Secret Wars #8 as a semi-sentient blob which configured itself into Spider-Man’s new costume, the ‘symbiote’ became a regular feature in Spidey’s own series before being revealed as a malevolent alien parasite! Unlike a lot of copies we’ve seen, the right edge on this one is sharp and doesn’t have the ‘blunt guillotine’ defect that came about in the printing process. There is a tiny but quite shallow dink at the top of the spine, a similar dink towards the bottom of the spine and a very small soft crease at the extremity of the bottom right corner; none of these break colour. One or two miniscule ticks at centre spine. Extremely tiny handling wear can barely be seen. Flat, glossy and vibrant with tight staples, square corners and white pages.
