373 Comic Appraisal

The Amazing Spider-Man #373 Comic Book

This item is a copy of 'The Amazing Spider-Man' comic book, issue number 373, published by Marvel Comics. The front cover features a prominent illustration of Spider-Man rendered in his classic red and blue costume, suspended centrally within a network of white spider webs against a dark, metallic green background. His limbs are splayed, indicating a struggle or dynamic movement within the webbing. The suit shows intricate musculature and web-pattern detailing on both the red and blue sections. The title 'the AMAZING SPIDER-MAN' is displayed prominently in yellow lettering at the top of the cover. Below the title, a banner reads 'INVASION OF THE SPIDER-SLAYERS CONCLUSION!', indicating the story arc. A smaller banner at the top left corner states 'INSIDE A GREAT NEW TALE OF VENOM!', featuring the Venom logo. To the left of Spider-Man's head, the black box with white text indicates the price as '$1.25 US' and the issue number '373', with the 'LATE JAN' publication date, likely referring to January 1993. In the lower left corner, a special emblem commemorates '30TH ANNIVERSARY 1962-1992 THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN', with a sketch of early Spider-Man art. The overall condition appears to be relatively good, with some minor surface wear visible, particularly along the edges and corners, suggesting it has been handled. No significant tears, creases, or discoloration are immediately apparent from the image. The colors on the cover are vibrant, and the print quality seems consistent with early 1990s comic book production. This issue is part of the Bronze Age to Modern Age transition in comic books and represents a key period for the character.
