British Update: Spider-Man – and His Amazing Friends! Many new UK Spider-Man issues restocked!
*Marvel UK: The longest-running Marvel UK series launched as Spider-Man Comics Weekly, but went through a number of title metamorphoses during its long life. Here, we have more than a years’ worth of issues, a virtually unbroken run from 529 to 606 (April ’83 to October ’84) at the start of which it was simply Spider-Man, then rebranded as Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends to tie in with the TV cartoon, then flipped back to plain Spider-Man by the end of this selection. Interestingly, a large proportion of these have original covers, including many quite striking painted ones. We also have the 1983 Winter Special for the series, and the 1984 Summer Special, as well as the one-off Superman Vs. Spider-Man, a full-colour magazine sized reprint of the second Supes/Spidey clash, also published by Marvel UK on this side of the pond. The weeklies and Winter and Summer Specials are overwhelmingly high grade, almost all Fine or VF; the Supes/Spidey one-shot is PR/FA, but all there!
