I'll ask again because it's been a while.

Does anyone have a pic of the Color Guide to Super-Giant Spider-Man #1?  This would have been the originally planned 100 page issue of Giant-Size Spider-Man #1.  

The color guide was on ebay several years back and I copied the image (which was on my computer that crashed), but have never seen it since.  

Just curious.

That's not what was asked.  There are plenty of examples of "king-sized books" including all the 25-cent square-bound issues of the normal runs such as ASM #102 or FF #116.

All the books that are labeled "King-Size Special" on the cover are, to the best of my knowledge, annuals.  The examples cited above don't fall into this category.

Folks is there a "King-Size" or "King-Size Annual"  topic in Bronze?  If not, does it sound like good idea?

Would love to see this as well

I'm pretty sure there is a DC 100-Pagers thread

One of my favorite covers.  Nice looking 9.8.

I started collecting the Giant Size books only a few months ago. Ideally I want to get them all in 9.4 white. 

Here’s my haul so far :

That's a great collecting goal and you're going to have fun with it.  Not surprised at all to see Giant-Size Conan #4 at the top of the list ... I don't know what it is about that book, but high-grade copies are growing on trees.  

If it helps, I am consigning the following on www.highgradecomics.com, all in 9.4 WP:

• Conan #1, 3
• Defenders #1
• Doc Savage #1
• Doctor Strange #1
• Fantastic Four #4
• Man-Thing #5
• Master of Kung Fu #4
• Spider-Man #6

Best of luck!

I actually saw those and I think I will grab a few of these for sure. - I have been on a bit of a buying spree so a little time to reset

Sold my 9.8 copy of this a few years ago and had sellers remorse ever since, nice to have a copy back in the collection and didn't have to break the bank for it.

Little trove in a box. Looks like the Giant Size Defenders 3 is the most coveted.

Self-Submitted 1999 raw purchase . Nice Kane/Milgrom cover
