American Update: Amazing Spider-Man #7, 8 & 9
*Marvel: A trio of early Spider-Man appearances in mid-grades, making them very affordable. Issue #7 features the second appearance of the Vulture, whom some enterprising soul has bestowed with a Roy Orbison-cut on the cover in biro. That’s the only significant defect in this otherwise decent copy with unmarked interior pages, GD- p at £75. Issue #8, the “Tribute to Teen-Agers”, guest-stars the Human Torch and sports a beautiful unmarked yellow cover with only very faint and fine corner and edge wear, VG p £115. And rounding out the trio, issue #9 features the debut and origin of one of Spidey’s most persistent villains, Electro, in GD p at £75.
