*Marvel: If you’re looking for really nice copies of Amazing Spider-Man for your collection, then look no further than the Totally Amazing Spider-Man 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. Well, here are a couple that actually do fall below VF just a little… Even the high grade collector who assembled this lot couldn’t locate a better copy of Amazing #28 than this one, the debut of the Molten Man. This was the second issue of Spidey I ever read, and the black cover, with just the red lines of Spidey’s costume shown, plus the gleaming Molten Man with his Ditko leer is a real stand-out image. The black background makes this a really tough comic to find in high grade. Amazing #29 features the second appearance of the Scorpion, one of Spidey’s most enduring foes.
PICTURED: AMAZING SPIDER-MAN
#28 FN+ p £350 Marvel Pop Art Productions logo. 1st Molten Man. Nice clean copy with some gloss and unblemished image. Very minor corner blunting and edge wear. There are some stress marks along the spine where ticks just break colour; they show up more in the scan than in real life. Excellent tight staples and near-white pages.
#29 VF- £250 Marvel Pop Art Productions logo. Very slight discolouration in bottom right corner, barely shows at all. Very slight corner blunting but no other faults. Tight, firm staples and supple white to off-white pages.
