American Update: Spider-Mania/Mighty Marvel Firsts: Iconic ‘Reveal’ of Mary Jane Watson in Amazing Spider-Man #42, Signed By Stan Lee
*Marvel: In Amazing Spider-Man #42, the astronaut offspring of J. Jonah Jameson gained super-powers and posed a threat to Spider-Man… but let’s be honest, who really cares? Because the Big Deal this time was the revelation, finally, of Mary Jane Watson, the mysterious lady who’d been hovering in the odd panel, her face always obscured, for several previous issues! When Stan Lee and John Romita finally showed us the ‘Full MJ’, it proved to be well worth the wait, with one of the most famous intro. lines in the history of comics! The first full appearance of the woman who would eventually become Mrs. Spidey is a gorgeous FN+ cents copy, no UK price stamp or overprint. Minimal spine and corner wear, lustrous cover with deep unfaded purple cover background, tight corners & edges, firm staples, and most importantly, a cover signature – admittedly, unverified – by Stan ‘The Man’ Lee himself!. Yours for £200. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
