*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 younger readers are unaware 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 latest copy, pence printed, is a low grade and has seen better days. The spine is very worn and there are chips out of the top right cover corner and bottom spine. The cover right edge has a 2.5 cm tear and there are many small colour breaking creases around the edges. Nevertheless, the staples are okay (bottom one a little loose) and the page quality is a decent off-white. The quality of the cover image shines through the defects.
