ABOUT

Visionary creator Al Milgrom writes - and draws - Spider-Man's second ongoing series in the leadup to its historic 100th issue!
Kingpin’s hitmen are closing in, your girlfriend—who doesn’t even want to know the real you—broke up with you, and your new alien costume wants to kill you. What’s that, you say? Yup, it’s just another day for Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man! Writer/artist Al Milgrom spins a series of wonderful web-slinging adventures in the run up to Spectacular Spider-Man #100. He introduces new villains in the Lee/Ditko mold like the Answer and the Spot and (literally) resurrects classic characters like Silvermane as killer cyborg! The Kingpin’s the man pulling the strings throughout. Will his leverage on the Black Cat mean Spidey won’t see issue #101? Also featuring an Annual exploring Aunt May’s younger days and the rare Spider-Man installment of Questprobe.

COLLECTING: THE SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN (1976) #92-100 & ANNUAL (1979) #4, WEB OF SPIDER-MAN (1985) #1 and QUESTPROBE (1984) #2

STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS

Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.

The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
