American Update: Spider-Mania: Amazing #51 – First Cover Appearance of the Kingpin VF+
*Marvel: While the Kingpin actually made his debut in ASM #50, he didn’t make the cover cut for that issue, which famously carried the much-homaged ‘Spider-Man No More’ image. Wilson Fisk loomed large (well he would, wouldn’t he?) on the cover of #51, however, consolidating his position as a power player in Spidey’s Rogue’s Gallery. This is a VF+ p copy, crisp and bright, tight staples, excellent cover and gloss, with only the tiniest sliver out of the upper back cover top preventing a yet higher grade. On sale at £150.
