*Marvel: This week’s Spider-Mania entry features two first issues. First up, from 1976, Spectacular Spider-Man #1, the second ongoing Spidey series with a tussle with the Tarantula, a VF pence copy with a slight bit of white spine syndrome i.e. with the cover printed slightly to the right of centre. Secondly, the gold version of the hugely successful Spider-Man #1 series by Todd MacFarlane from 1990 in sparkling VF/NM; there are a lot of variations of this issue to collect, and this is one of the less common ones, so here’s a good place to start.
