*Modern Reprints: Recently, both DC and Marvel have issued reproductions of their classic key issues. These facsimiles are, apart from legally-necessary cover additions for modern pricing, exact, full-colour cover-to-cover replicas of the originals, including all story pages, text pages, lettercols and advertisements – though we strongly advise against sending off for anything from the ads! Marvel has brought us facsimiles of Hulk #181 (first full appearance of Wolverine), New Mutants #98 (double debut of Deadpool and Domino), Spider-Man #252 (1st black Spidey-costume, which became Venom), Spider-Woman #1 (first of Jessica Drew’s solo series) and Giant-Size X-Men #1 (premiere of the new team, with the first appearances of Storm, Colossus, Nightcrawler and Thunderbird, and the second full Wolverine). DC has hit back so far with Batman #181 (first appearance of Poison Ivy) and House of Secrets #92 (debut of the Swamp Thing concept). With the exception of the extra-thick GS X-Men #1, which clocks in at £5, all of these other reproduction editions are brand new at £4 each, with more on the way from both companies!
