British Update: Spider-Mania UK style: Spider-Man Comics Weekly – First ten and other early issues
*Marvel UK: We cross to our side of the Atlantic for this week’s spider-Mania update. 1973 saw the second Marvel UK title, Spider-Man Comics Weekly, debut in the UK, presenting the early adventures of Spider-Man and Thor, re-edited for the British format, and in glorious black & white – with the occasional third colour added for drama! The first time a great many people encountered the classic Marvel characters, these weeklies are fondly remembered and popular nostalgia items these days. A problem that plagued the early issues of SMCW (within the first ten) are the cut-out coupons that people collected to get a special prize, and these are generally missing, rendering the comic incomplete and worthless – but not so here! Each issue has been checked by our own four eyes, and the coupons are present. This is an unbroken run of the first ten, with most of the subsequent issues up to #21; condition is variable, with moderate wear, but this makes them all the more affordable. Issue #1 is GD £20, with one small interior tear, but all stories unharmed. Issues #2 & #3 are each FN £20. Details on the remainder, as always, in our online catalogue. SORRY, 1ST 10 ISSUES NOW SOLD
