Nice I'm a subby fan and have the run also. I have a Boston copy of 90 And savannah copy of 91 👍 rexinnih and jimjum12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjum12 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 This is probably old news, but I recently picked up a ASM 43 and was surprised when I researched it on GPA and a few other sites. It's gone up quite a bit, presumably due to first Full Mary Jane and Peter and her first date. I found this one at the LCS and while their books are usually very reasonable, this one turned out to be especially so ... lucky for once, I guess.

I saw a battered copy of ASM 43 and saw 20 on the sticker. Only when it was handed to me could I see another zero. $200!

spracknetch23 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Interesting. I wonder if it’s surpassing 42? Outside of the iconic final panel of 42, 43 is the superior book (story/cover) in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattTheDuck Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 During one of my adult forays into comics, I met a guy someplace (LCS maybe - can't remember) and we went to some Estate Sales and the like for a while. The primary memory of him is that he was "talked into" buying a beautiful ASM 43 by "a guy" when he couldn't really afford it. He tried to sell it to me, but man it seemed really expensive. Would have been by far the most expensive comic I'd ever bought. He wanted $40. jimjum12 and KirbyJack 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one I got is an easy 8.5 and I keep looking it over to see what I must be missing.... but all ad pages are there, doesn't seem to be trimmed, no touch ups, or tear seals.... GOD BLESS.... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) .. in a way, it's a lot like Hulk 181, with ASM 42 being very similar to Hulk 180, except fandom embraced the opposites.

I used to be a Ditko snob, even though I grew up with Romita Sr. on the title. As I got older I appreciated Romita so much more, realizing that he helped Spidey "grow up". I have my doubts if ASM would have been so wildly successful without Romita's extensive experience with the characterization required for the DC Romance books that he spent almost a decade on. That soap opera stuff was the backbone of the book to me.

Plus it had the front to back miswrap that ASM 33s commonly have. I felt like I got ripped off. I don't feel that way today.

rexinnih Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 My ASM 42 & 43 are with CGC as we speak. Glad I picked those, along with ASM 50 a few years ago. jimjum12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJ's intro being diluted over several potential keys makes it difficult to choose the stand out, and not necessarily subject to the Wolverine rule, in my thinking. I pick 42, 43 essentially being her fourth appearance. Also, with 42's cover and story, I think it could be valued as a John Jameson key should Man-Wolf's popularity really take off, it being his first cover appearance and therein acquiring a super-powered identity that predates Man-Wolf/Stargod. jimjum12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
