*Marvel: Ditko Spider-Mans are always a welcome addition to our lists, and this is one previously unrepresented in our inventory. Returning from a period of insecurity and self-doubt, Spidey roars back into action despite the Daily Bugle’s carefully-orchestrated smear campaign, aided by his best ‘frenemy’ the Human Torch, as they take on the combined menace of the Sandman and the Enforcers. A Lee/Ditko classic, with all the tropes you look for – JJJ’s insane ranting! Aunt May’s dicky ticker! Betty and Veronica – sorry, Betty and Liz’s – dating shenanigans! And, as a bonus, the first fleeting appearance of MacDonald ‘Mac’ Gargan, the man who would become the Scorpion! This copy is a cents copy with no pence price or overstamp, in VG with just a hint of sunshadow in a very narrow band at the spine, and a light sub crease (best seen in the illustration by checking out the sole of Spidey’s outstretched foot), otherwise it would be still nicer. On sale at VG £75. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
