American Update: Spider-Mania continues: Amazing Spider-Man #12 – ‘Unmasked by Dr. Octopus!’
*Marvel: Another Lee & Ditko classic from the early years of Peter Parker’s masked alter-ego, #12 is less frequently seen than some of its contemporary brethren, and seldom in this nice a condition! An epic clash with his arch-nemesis Dr. Octopus leaves Spider-Man categorically defeated, helpless, and unmasked in front of the world. How does he get out of this one? Hey, buy the book! One of the more-often ‘homaged’ cover images, and an exceptional copy; the yellow cover background, which ordinarily picks up every stain or mark, is remarkably unblemished, with clear vivid colour. The staples are firm at cover and centrefold, light spine wear, sharp corners, tight and flat interior pages, with one small diagonal cover crease at the lower right. We have graded this pence copy as FN+, and it is on sale at £300. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
