I don't think it's possible to own just one Spider-Man #1. There in lies the genius behind these books.

There's so many of them, they all have to go somewhere

80% could go to landfills and there would still probably be enough copies to satisfy demand! Don't get me wrong, I love the book, but there are way too many of them out there.

 

Granted, I would still like a gold UPC and a Platinum edition...

This thread is a riot. I can remember lying awake at night the week before Spider-Man #1 came out, feverishly planning how many extra copies (cha-ching!) I was going to buy.

Can someone explain this to me?

I've been looking for that Scarlet Spider cover.

 

So it's really the back cover to this?

Seems a bit excessive to me, but the high bidder really seemed to want it he placed 25 bids.

I bought thirty-three copies at the time, so I am at least as dumb as the rest of you.

I have a short box of them somewhere in my parents attic that I haven't seen in 15 years ... add me to the list of people who failed to capitalize on the market and hoarded copies. It's a shame that the print run for that book is so high. McFarlane should go back to drawing spidey. I'd buy the book (as long as he didn't write it) and it would be a huge hit. The guy had a gift for drawing spidey and his villans. I really enjoyed his run at the time. I wonder what it would read like now that I'm not a teen though. Anyone read his run after the dopamine high from the anticipated financial gain wore off? I hope it is as close to as enjoyable as I remember it.

I had that idea a few years ago but I stopped when my GI Joe book got signed by "Snake Eyes"... Decision I regretted almost immediately. I ended up giving all Spiderman 1 copies away, they never even made it to the wall, it's cool to see how they should have ended up looking. It would be interesting doing this with foreign copies of it.

The best swipe of this, that I have ever seen, is a Deadpool done in red ink... It was amazing, I'm not sure who owns it.
