A copy of the Splatterball no seal variant popped up on eBay. I suspect it may be offered by someone who read about it on this very board.

Crap, I just put all my Web of Spideys in a quarter box for my garage sale ... now I have to look through all of those for this!

There are 4-5 Web of keys. Good stuff.

In Web of Spider-Man 24 Venom appears in a brief cameo. I can't remember exactly what happens, but a black arm reaches out of a window and either pushes or tries to push Spidey as he's wall crawling, and it doesn't trigger Spider-Man's Spidey sense. David Michelinie has said that arm reaching out the window was Venom. If I recall correctly, that arm constitutes the entire cameo of Venom in that issue.

Another book I find interesting is Amazing Spider-Man Annual 25... first solo Venom. Way underpriced in my opinion.

[StarBrand]

Here's an article on the subject. There's an interview that's been posted online for at least a dozen years (or at least about a dozen years ago it was there) where Michelinie says the arm in Web 24 is Venom's. The author of this article must not have come across it.

I have a copy of #18 but it's atrociously beat up (got it in a quarter bin decades ago)... Dang it!! I never did collect Web Of Spidey very much.

What appearances make those other Web issues keys?

36 first Tombstomb... 97 first Nightwatch... 99 first New Enforcers... 100 origin of Nightwatch.

Web 118 first Ben Reilly as Scarlet Spider, 119 first Kaine...

Plus 100 has that new spiderman armor. I saw a poster of all the spiderman costumes and had to laugh. I religiously read Spiderman as a kid, but it's unrecognizable to this guy.

Ahhhh...

19 is the first Solo and first Humbug. Don't know if they go fro much, but I pick them up when I see them.

Maybe the same thing can happen to that Flamingo cover by EL for Harbinger #7.

Not a key, AFAIK, but it is simply beautiful, and a must in every VEI collector's list. Everytime I come across it, I just look at it for more than what is normal.
If the movies pick up, and Charlene has a brand new fanbase, I can see this book being chased. Not that many, either way (I think) - this was one of those store incentive variants.

I think Ninjak 4A is the Valiant cover in that category

Kraven's Last Hunt storyline, where Kraven dies. Very popular, one of the great Spiderman stories, and a classic cover. If only they printed this story in one title (and not 4, I believe), it would be truly one of the great storylines of the era, IMNSHO.

Ah, yes - of course! That storyline ran across the 3 series at the time: Web, Spectacular & ASM.

I've always meant to finish tracking down all the parts of that story. I never had the Web Of issues, and I think I'm also missing one of the ASM issues too. I LOVE Zecks artwork, this is a gap I need to plug in my collection.

I love it when old school Valiant/Acclaims books are the hot issues! Q&W keeps rolling:

Wish I'd hoarded some of these from the cheap bins all those years...

I can't believe the preview went for $85. That's bananas.

I know you have BTE, think I even sold you a couple dupes at one point. Great call on your part!
