Post a book nobody else on this forum owns....

[Spider-Variant]

I have only seen one other copy with the sticker still attached. This is the All-Detergent giveaway copy of ASM 184. I have owned a few without the sticker and they are tough to find. I ended up trading this copy.

Here's another with a brief description I borrowed (estimated at about 10-15 copies existing) :

 

It was a comic done as a fundraiser for the Boston Symphony Orchestra in 1978, it was fully-licensed by Marvel and DC and featured Superman, Batman, Robin, Wonder Woman, Spider-Man, Captain America, the Sub-Mariner and the Human Torch coming together to save the BSO from an evil genius who'd kidnapped them.

 

It was published in a print run of 250, sold for $10 a pop at that year's Boston Pops opening concert, and all copies not sold that night were destroyed, as part of the agreement with Marvel and DC.

 

It was written by a teen-aged Kurt Busiek, laid out by his pal Scott McCloud, drawn by Scott's neighbour Christopher Bing, who has gone on the be a Caldecott Medal winning children's book illustrator, and lettered by Kurt's friend Richard Howell, now the editor of Claypool Comics.

 

 

 

I found this book and the one I posted above within 6 months of each other.

I don't think anybody has this.

 

 

That is just too cool. I knew this existed, but somehow I've never actually seen one. Congrats.

 

Looks like it's in fantastic shape, too.

I'd post my 3.5 Exciting # 30, but I know at least two folks around here have a copy.

The only other copy I've seen was the Overstreet copy, and that one had blue ink covers.

 

Took me a while to get these scans for you...

I really like the "Time" promotional; would like to get my hands on one.

Here's the back cover...

Toughies indeed, Steve. And very pretty copies to boot

Hi All: This book was in the Western Penn Collection. I believe it was Jerry Bails Guide prior to Overstreet.

 

Anyone have further insight?

 

 

Thanks, Tom
