*Marvel: This week’s Slab Happy update is a little out of the ordinary, featuring as it does a modern comic – Amazing Spider-Man #528, from 200!. This is distinctive because it’s a Retailer Incentive Variant Edition, featuring the ‘Peter Porker, Spider-Ham’ character on the cover (though not inside!). The variant cover was created by the artist Mike Wieringo, who tragically died the following year at the ridiculously young age of 44. While all of the Spider-Man issues in the crossover story ‘The Other’ apparently have Wieringo variants, they’re usually in full-colour. This Retailer Incentive Black & White Sketch Variant was offered to retailers in a ratio of 1:50 of the regular issue purchased. This is a CGC Blue Label (no restoration) 9.8 (NM/M equivalent).
