American Update: Spider-Mania – the Post-Penultimate Episode!
*Marvel: We thought it was all over – but it isn’t yet! Just as we were preparing to wrap up our Spider-Mania event, we had an ‘incoming’ which demanded an extension – but you’ll hear all about that in due course! This week’s Spider-Mania event is significant enough in itself – a trinity of debuts of three of Spidey’s vilest villains, from the early days of Lee/Ditko genius! We open with #13 FN £280, bringing us the master of misdirection, Mysterio; continue with #15 FN+ £260, the premier appearance of Kraven the Hunter (as opposed to his less successful cousin, Kraven the Haberdasher); and wrap it up with issue #20, VG+ p £90, the first appearance of the Sinister Scorpion! All of these are attractive mid-high grade copies of key issues, with the #15 particularly being a standout copy with deep vivid cover colour. And come back next week for the, I dunno, Post-Ultimate chapter of our Spider-Mania event!
