American Update: Spider-Mania: Spectacular Spider-Man
*Marvel: Something different for this week’s Spider-Mania instalment: in 1976, Marvel decided that one regular monthly Spidey title wasn’t enough, so notwithstanding his appearances in Marvel Team-Up (which was to all intents and purposes a Spidey title), they added a second monthly devoted to everyone’s favourite wallcrawler, so fans could get an even bigger fix of their hero every month. Fresh in this week, we have the first 20 issues of Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man (later shortened to just Spectacular Spider-Man) in nice grades, mostly cents copies. Issue #1 (VF+ £40) is pictured here.
