Question
My mother-in-law gave my daughter 23 (Volumes 1-23) Spiderman comics that say "Spiderman Collectible Series" on the cover and have dates as far back as 1962 on the cover but inside on the first page it has a date that says "TM & (c) 1962 and 2006 Marvel Characters, Inc.
Are these comics worth anything or are they just worthless reprints?

Thank you in advance for your time.

Answer
Hi Yvette

These sound like the newspaper reprint series that was put out by, I believe, a Texas newspaper as a giveaway inserted in Sunday papers.  You can see reprints of a few of the covers here:

These do not have any collectible value at this time.
