Question
Hello i have quite a bunch of marvel comics and i've noticed some of my comics have a spider man logo or head on the front cover of the comic. On some comics i notice the head is either black and white or just all black. Other comics may not even have one? is there any reason why i see these? also how can i tell if i have a reprint?
Hi Hector.
Without seeing what you're talking about its a little difficult to know what you're referring to but I think you may have some books that came out during the 30th Anniversary of Spider-Man. During that time, a number of Marvel books all had a Spidey logo on them to commemorate the event. Here's the cover to Alpha Flight #1 with a Spider-Man logo on it as an example: http://www.coverbrowser.com/image/alpha-flight/1-1.jpg
As far as reprints, check the copyright information in each book... it should tell you there if you have a reprint or not.
Hope that helps,
K

I have a secret wars 1st issue and some guy told me it was a reprint cause it had the spidey logo on it. I still cant tell if a comic is a reprint, do i compare the dates? anyhow thank you for your time. | ||

As a hardcore X-Men fan, I can answer any question about Marvel's Mighty Mutants. I can also answer questions about the spin-off groups (X-Factor, New Mutants/X-Force, Excalibur, Generation X, New X-Men, and the other many incarnations). I specialize in the X-universe but I can answer a lot of Marvel questions as well. Make Mine Marvel. In addition to the comics, I can answer questions about the X-Men cartoons (TAS from the 90s and Evolution) as well as the X-Men feature films. I don't have any expertise or knowledge of the DC Universe.
