 Spider-Man is still one of the most popular of all solo super-heroes! Here he is posing with 'Spider-Woman' at a recent Dragon Con! Just Click the Photo to see all of our current Spidey listings!  Marvel has produced or authorized many promotional items during its' 45+ year history. They have also started a new fad or followed one... Above is a scan of one of the few issues that was part of the short-lived 'Marvel Pop Art Productions' period. Take a look at the top left of the book for their logo! For all of our Marvel Superhero comic books currently listed, just click on the photo above!

I was emailed yesterday about where could an 'Americana' collector could pick up the rest of the recent Spidey Nespaper Comics, or if we would have any back issues for sale. Even though they weren't comic book collectors, there was interest in the series because this short lived promo series was truly 'Americana'. The collector had seen our earlier March 3rd, 2007 blog post where we mentioned that the marketing company would no longer be inserting the comics into the Sunday papers.
Per the back cover of the last issue #24, that was the last chance to order the series!
The full 24 issue set at that time would run you $39.95 plus $7.95 for shipping and handling, for a total of $47.90. If you just missed a few in the 24 volume series, then the marketing company would sell you ten individually checked off issues for $19.95 plus $7.95 for shipping and handling for a total of $27.90. For those that weren't there at the beginning of this collectible series, it reprinted the Amazing Fantasy #15 comic book which introduced Spider-Man and was cover dated August of 1962, then reprinted Amazing Spider-Man #1 which was cover dated March 1963 and ended with issue #11 which was cover dated April of 1964 ! When we come back from our holiday week, we will be pulling out several of our back issues for listing in our eBay Featured Store. Not for sure of the pricing at this time... Until then, if you are looking for these, I would suggest contacting the marketing company that had these 'American' items printed for distribution. At this time it would be too late for most items to be shipped in time for Christmas presents, but you could also check other eBay sellers. Thanks for reading this popular culture - comics - comic books blog post! Michael |
