Spider-Man and Deadpool


Before you have a coronary the cover of Marvel Comics'  Amazing Fantasy #15 seen is not of the original issue. 

It is a reproduction of the original that was given away free in the color comic’s section of newspapers back in the early 2000’s promoting the Spider-Man movies.

A number of the early Spider-Man issues were produced and remarkably many are now going for respectable prices.  Currently an issue #1 costs about $10.

If you can’t afford the six to seven figure price of an original mint copy then this reprint is just the ticket.

What can be said about Deadpool The Merc With A Mouth that hasn’t been said?

After a few guest appearances Deadpool finally received his own series in 1997.

The premiere issue was oversized and featured the art of fan favorite Ed McGuinness.

Joe Kelly provided the dialogue and stories and is to be credited for fine tuning Deadpool’s sarcastic sense of humor and sometimes bizarre behavior.

It’s one of the few comic books stating it is a collector’s item that actually lives up to the hype.

A raw copy sells for about $35 and a slabbed copy graded a 9.6 goes for around $100.  Prices continue to rise.
