American Update: Spider-Mania continues: Amazing Spider-Man #3 (1st Dr Octopus) & #4 (1st Sandman)
*Marvel: While early issues of the Amazing Spider-Man are always popular, the debuts of his major villains are the hot-button items – and two of his most relentless enemies are the topic of this week’s update! In issue #3 of his title, Spider-Man faced Dr. Otto Octavius, a.k.a. Doctor Octopus, for the first time; and the very next issue saw the premier appearance of the shape-shifting Sandman. Both gentlemen have gone on to plague Peter Parker for more than half a century, but here’s where they got their starts! Our copy of Amazing Spider-Man #3 is a GD/VG cents copy at £450 (a little tired, with minor chipping at right edge cover and minor wear around all edges, but nice unspoilt cover image, good staples and decent page quality); #4 is a highly attractive VG cents at £425 (minor chipping at right edge cover, some spine wear, bright unmarked cover, flat with tight staples and nice page quality). SORRY, THESE HAVE NOW SOLD
