*Marvel: Two consecutive Ditko issues of Amazing Spider-Man this week that seem to turn up less often than those around them. In #18 (with the returning menace of the Sandman), Peter Parker becomes disenchanted with the super-hero life and gives up being Spider-Man, only to bounce back at the end of the issue, leading into #19 where the Enforcers and the Human Torch join the fray. Low grade copies both, but of course that comes with very moderate price tags!
PICTURED: AMAZING SPIDER-MAN
#18 GD- £95 A bit of spine roll and a worn spine; 5 cm lower spine split. Staples are loose-ish but attached. Some edge wear but nice cover scene, with only a couple of small cryptic characters on the ‘D’ in Spider marring it. SOLD
#19 PR p £50 Pence stamped, this one’s a bit of a mess. The cover scene’s okay and reasonably bright, but it’s been restapled at top and bottom of spine, and several of the pages are loose and brittle. It’s all there, but not a nice copy. SOLD
