American Update: Spider-Mania Bonus: Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man #1
*Marvel: 1976’s Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man #1 marked the second ongoing Spider-Man title published by Marvel, in what people feared might dilute the franchise – if only they knew! Intended originally to focus more on Spidey’s civilian alter ego, it rapidly evolved into an adjunct to, and frequent crossover with, Amazing Spider-Man, founding the practise which was to become industry standard in later decades. This copy of PPSM #1 is VF+, a pence copy at £35. Listed in our catalogue under ‘Spider-Man, Spectacular’.
