Has anyone ever seen anything like this? Found this scanning books from Don's collection this past weekend. 1 1

I've seen double covers before but I've never seen anything like this. Last issue of this Spider-Man run from the 90's, issue 98 had a regular cover and a variant cover. I found a double cover with the regular cover on the outside with the variant cover on the inside. Worth getting slabbed and put in an auction.  what do you guys think

This book is weird, but that weirdness is owed to the issue in general, not to your copy in particular. All of the direct market copies of [Peter Parker] Spider-Man #98 are like this. The "A" cover copies -- such as this one -- have the orange cover as the outer cover. "B" cover copies have the blue cover as the outer cover.

I have no idea why they did this, but your book is as it was intended to be.

Sorry about that. I mostly try to tell people neat facts about the indies they find, rather than crush hopes and dreams.

For the record on this book, there is also a newsstand printing. I know the NS prints were only distributed as "A" covers, but I've never held one in hand, so while I believe they lack the 2nd cover entirely, I can't actually confirm that. If that's the case, this would be one of those issues where even CGC ought to distinguish the NS printing (not that I expect there are very many people who would pay to slab this issue).

Newsstands do have only the single cover.

When I was a kid I had a double cover comic so I fixed it by tearing the outer cover off
