American Update: Both Superman & Spider-Man Team-Up Tabloids
*DC/Marvel: In 1976, after some delicate negotiations, Marvel and DC decided to create a team-up between their two iconic characters which proved too big for a regular-sized comic – so the tabloid-sized format, as seen in Marvel’s Treasury Editions and DC’s Limited Collectors’ Editions, was co-opted for this event! Superman and Spider-Man (as well as guest-villains Lex Luthor and Doctor Octopus) are note-perfect in this mega-sized saga. This triggered a series of cross-overs between the two companies, with DC and Marvel alternating on the publishing chores, and Marvel was at the production helm by 1981, when Marvel Treasury Edition #28 was released, with the follow-up Superman and Spider-Man team-up, this time co-featuring Wonder Woman and the Hulk and the villainy of Doctor Doom and the Parasite! We are delighted to have both these epic editions back in stock: Superman Vs. The Amazing Spider-Man, to give the first its full title, is a superb VF cents copy, no pence price or overstamp, clean and bright, tight and flat, with sharp corners and only a small dink at the base of the spine precluding a higher grade; Marvel Treasury Edition #28 is also a superb VF cents copy, clean and bright, tight and flat, sharp corners, with a slight sign of reading crease at the spine and very slight grubbiness to back cover.
