Spider-Man Comics Weekly

[steelcity]

Back in early 1973 Stan Lee was once again enjoying the dawn of "The Marvel Age of Comics." However, this time it was in the UK.

In mid February, Stan Lee launched his follow up comic to The Mighty World Of Marvel. It was called "Spider-Man Comics Weekly."

The huge success of MWOM had led to this spin-off. Spider-Man and Thor led the way in the new comic, leaving FF, Hulk and Daredevil to occupy the older title.

Here are some early front and back covers from Spider-man Comics Weekly. These were exciting times both for Stan and the young comic readers...

#9. This issue and #10 reprint Spider-Man Annual #1 (1964)

 

The back cover is a bit out of place, taken from an earlier issue of MWOM.

#10.

 

Notice the dirty printer's ink that often appeared in some quantity on these covers!

#11. This is the last I shall post, at least for now.

The cover is a somewhat stunning version of ASM #17!

 

 

Hope some of you enjoyed these covers!
