American Update: Spider-Mania: Amazing Spider-Man #50, with Kingpin debut and iconic cover scene (high grade)
*Marvel: By the time of Spider-Man’s 50th issue, ‘new’ artist John Romita had made the series his own, and this milestone number was marked with the debut of a new villain, the Kingpin – so long associated with Daredevil, in the post-Miller years, that many people overlook the fact that he originated in Spider-Man’s Rogues’ Gallery! The cover of #50, with Peter temporarily abandoning his Spider-Man identity, has become etched in the minds of a generation, endlessly imitated and ‘homaged’, in comics and other media. Our newest copy of ASM #50 is a remarkable VF copy, pence priced, with vibrant cover colour, excellent gloss, firm staples, tight corners and bright interior pages, only very minimal wear visible at edges; on sale for £650. Front and back covers and splash page are shown below; high resolution images are available on request. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
