Marvel Super-Heroes Winter Special #4 Comic Book

This item is a copy of 'Marvel Super-Heroes Winter Special' comic book, specifically issue #4. The cover prominently features a vibrant illustration with Spider-Man in the center, flanked by various other Marvel characters depicted in circular insets. These characters include Nick Fury, Daredevil, Black Knight, Spitfire, Wonder Man, and Speedball, indicating a team-up or anthology theme for the winter special. The comic is part of the 'Marvel Comics' brand and is advertised as an '80 PAGE' issue, suggesting a larger than regular comic book size content. Visible details on the cover include the 'Winter Special' subtitle, the issue number '04' near the barcode, and the price '2.50 USD / 3.00 CAN', along with a date stamp that appears to be 'FEB 1990' or similar, placing its estimated age in the late 1980s or early 1990s. The comic book is housed within a clear protective plastic sleeve, which is standard for comic collectors to preserve condition. Despite the sleeve, some visible condition issues include slight wear around the edges and corners of the cover, particularly on the right side and bottom, indicating minor handling or storage stress. There are no major tears, creases, or discoloration readily apparent, suggesting a well-preserved copy for its age, though not necessarily a 'mint' condition. The colors on the cover remain bright and unfaded, indicating good preservation of the original printing quality. The barcode is clearly visible at the bottom left, with the number '0 71486 01402 7'. This comic represents a key period in Marvel's publishing history, offering a blend of established and newer characters, characteristic of the early 90s era.
