Spider Man Collectible Appraisal

Spider-Man Collectible Series: The Amazing Spider-Man Volume 12 featuring The Lizard

This item is identified as a volume from the "Spider-Man Collectible Series," specifically "Volume 12," which appears to be a reprint or collection of classic Spider-Man comics. The cover prominently features artwork from "The Amazing Spider-Man #6," which introduces the villain The Lizard. The iconic cover art depicts Spider-Man hanging upside down, preparing to confront The Lizard, who is shown in a purple jacket with his reptilian head and tail visible. The color palette is vibrant, typical of early Marvel comics, with Spider-Man in his classic red and blue costume and The Lizard in shades of green and purple. Key textual elements on the cover include the title "The Amazing Spider-Man" in large, stylized letters. A prominent blurb states "HALF-MAN... HALF-REPTILE... THE LIZARD WILL TAKE OVER ALL OF EARTH UNLESS SPIDER-MAN ALONE CAN STOP HIM!" Other visible text includes "MARVEL COMICS GROUP" and an 'Approved by the Comics Code Authority' stamp, although the latter is partially obscured. The issue number '6' is visible, along with 'NOV' (November), indicating the original publication month of the comic being reprinted. At the bottom, the text "THE MARVEL AGE OF COMICS" is present, followed by "NOT FOR RESALE," which strongly suggests this is part of a promotional or special collection rather than an individual retail comic book. The overall condition appears good, with minor signs of handling visible along the edges. The image quality suggests the item might be under a protective plastic cover or part of a larger bound volume, given the slight glare and the clean, unfaded colors.
