1987: SPIDER-MAN SUMMER SPECIAL (Marvel UK)


This summer 1987 MARVEL UK one-shot hails from the purgatory period between the demise of SPIDER-MAN AND ZOIDS weekly and the launch of THE COMPLETE SPIDER-MAN several years later.  It seems unbelievable now but superheroes were deemed so unviable in the UK market that Marvel couldn't even find a regular booking for their flagship character.

This is a reprint (with a new cover… I forgot to check whether there is an art credit inside) of US THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 283, cover-dated December 1986.
