*Marvel: If you’re looking for really nice copies of Amazing Spider-Man for your collection, then look no further than the Totally Amazing Spider-Man Collection. All high grade; even the few that fall below VF (and most are above) are really good-looking copies – no duds here, and nearly all cents copies. After the acclaimed ‘Death of Captain Marvel’ Graphic Novel, Marvel, for copyright purposes, was not about to let the name loiter for long, and in 1982’s Spider-Man Annual #16, the new Captain Marvel was introduced – an African-American woman named Monica Rambeau, with the ability to convert her body into all forms of energy. Although created as a ‘placemarker’ for the title, Monica proved very popular, becoming in time a mainstay of the Avengers (and one of the team’s most distinguished leaders). Despite having been shamefully treated by Marvel’s Powers-That-Be, shunted out of the Captain Marvel title by newer iterations, Monica remains a vital and active part of the Marvel Universe, whether she’s Photon, Spectrum, or whatever other nom-du-guerre they’ve pinned on her this week. Both John Romita and his son are credited with pencilling Monica’s debut, and they’ve duly obliged by both signing the cover of this copy, which comes with a Dymanic Forces certificate identifying it as 70/300 signed copies. A lovely high grade copy, flat, glossy, colourful and supple with very minor wear along the top edge and a couple of tiny spine stress reading marks.
