When Todd McFarlane took over drawing Spider-man in 1988,

it caused a tremendous stir in the character's popularity.

A Bold approach to physical action scenes and realistic facial expressions were among the reasons that McFarlane's art took the comic world by storm.

In 1990, Marvel launched a new series, featuring Spider-man by Todd McFarlane. The series was the 1st that Todd McFarlane wrote the storyline as well as drew the artwork! there were mutiple versions of the # 1 cover and it became the best all time selling comic book!

Here, a great gift for any present day Spider-man fan

or for a fan whom 1st got into comics in the early 1990's is:

SPIDER-MAN # 1, Silver edition, CGC 9.8 Near Mint/Mint, White pages 

Though you may not receive the same CGC serial numbered copy, you WILL receive a Silver edition #1 Spiderman, a CGC 9.8 Universal graded copy with White Pages!

AND TO ENHANCE THE ENJOYMENT OF THE CGC ISSUE-A GREAT Bonus:

     A copy of Issue #1 signed by Todd McFarlane along with its original authentication stamp and letter of authenticity from 1990!

This is no joke-I have seen copies of the autographed Spiderman #1 sell for $25-99 on eBay! 

To explain-in the early days of Certification of an Artist autograph, there was a special ID for a comic from this 1990 era:

CGC books are well packed with care to prevent the cases from being damaged in shipping.
