Team Up Comic Appraisal

Spider-Man Team-Up #6 (March 1997), Marvel Comics

This is a standard-sized American comic book, 'Spider-Man Team-Up' issue number 6, published by Marvel Comics with a cover date of March 1997. The cover art is a dynamic, multi-character composition featuring Spider-Man swinging on a web, Doctor Strange, the Incredible Hulk, and Aquarian, all set against a large, menacing portrait of Dracula with glowing red eyes. The Marvel logo and comic title are prominently displayed at the top, while a UPC barcode and the 1997 pricing ($2.99 US / $4.05 CAN) are located at the bottom left. The color palette is vibrant, utilizing deep reds, blues, greens, and yellows typical of 1990s comic printing. The condition of this specific copy appears to be mid-grade; visible issues include noticeable spine stress marks (color-breaking ticks), rounding and wear at the corners, and several light creases across the front cover surface, particularly near the top right and the left edge. There is general surface wear and some loss of original gloss. These defects suggest a copy that has been handled and read rather than kept in a vacuum-sealed archival state. The era of this book falls within the Modern Age of comics, specifically reflecting the mid-90s shift towards higher retail prices and frequent multi-character 'team-up' storylines.
