First Spider-Man black costume 0

[Adam Jester]

Why does Spectacular Spider-Man 90 not show that it ties for first appearance of the black costume with Amazing Spider-Man 252 and Marvel Team up 141. They all were released in May of 1984, but only two of the books get the credit according to CGC. This is really puzzling me. Does CGC just not know?

I've been wondering if/when CGC plans to fix this as well. Even though all 3 have publication dates of 5/84, ASM #252 did come out a couple of weeks before the others but Marvel Team-up #141 and Spectacular #90 literally came out the same day so the two of them should be "tied" for second. The current description of Marvel Team up #141 being tied with ASM #252 and Spectacular #90 being "1st in title" doesn't make sense...

ASM #252 (5/84) released on January 31st

Marvel Team-up #141 and Spectacular SM #90 (5/84) both released February 14th

IMO, either all 3 tie for 1st due to the same 5/84 publication date or...ASM is 1st by itself and Marvel Team-up #141 and Spectacular SM #90 are both tied for 2nd.
