*Marvel: One conspicuous exception to our habitual ‘vintage only’ policy are debut issues of significant characters, and there are few more significant debuts, in the latter days of the 20th Century, than everyone’s favourite brain-eating symbiote Venom, who graduated from being a genetically modified costume in a jar to the fully-fledged Emperor of Spidey’s Rogue’s Gallery! Having debuted in Secret Wars #8 as a semi-sentient blob which configured itself into Spider-Man’s new costume, the ‘symbiote’ became a regular feature in Spidey’s own series before being revealed as a malevolent alien parasite which disclosed its true agenda! Now in his own solo film, soon to premiere in the UK, Venom is a runaway hit, and this is a relatively affordable copy of his first full appearance. This VG/FN pence copy of #300 (pictured), decent and sound but with light corner and edge wear, is on sale for £100. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
