*Marvel: Spider-Woman, like She-Hulk, was created as a last-minute copyright defence by Marvel when a TV company planned a “Spiderwoman” TV series. Rushed into production, the origin of the arachnid avenger was intended as a one-off to ‘guard’ the name, and it was to everyone’s astonishment when sales spiked to the extent that a rapid return for Spider-Woman – first in a Marvel Two-In-One story arc, then in her own series, with a more ‘sympathetic’ origin rewrite – was required. Jessica Drew (as she eventually became) lasted 50 issues in her first run, and remains prominent in the MU today – not bad for a bodged-together legal ploy! This copy of Marvel Spotlight #32 is a desirable VF, obviously cents as it was never distributed in the UK, and on sale at £40. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
