These are, what I believe to be, all the variants/reprints of ASM 298 from all the countries that printed it with the corresponding US cover. Although there are many more countries that have printed Spideys, they didn’t all publish with the ASM 298 cover. Don’t ask me why I started doing it, because I really don’t know, other than the fact that they look neat next to each other. I just had the last one come back from CGC and thought I’d share them with you guys. I think this may be the first COMPLETE foreign “Set.” So here is my 298 foreign run, short, but sweet… :)

Interesting bit about the rarity of UK pence variants which reminds me of my golden years of collecting.

 

I got my Incredible Hulk 1 1962 pence variant from an auction in Trafford Park Manchester UK. There was a national fuel crisis that week (ie the pumps were dry) and very few people came in person to look at the lots advertised. I popped down on foot saw this beauty (about a fine minus) put on an absent bid as I didn't trust myself 'live'. Few people turned up I was later told and most of the comic lots went to someone from Bristol who was rewarded for their long journey and deliberate petrol saving, sensing, I presume, a low turnout....except for this one comic .He bid several times apparently but packed in just £5 short of my bid !

 

Never good to gloat. But as there have been many many more disappointments, I'll allow myself a silver glow this once...
