Question

spider-man comic book
I have a Spider-man comic book and I was wondering how much it was worth. The title is: Marvel Presents Spider-man two spectacular spiderman tales. It has fantastic four in it and i was looking on ebay and i say similar ones but they did not say "Marvel Presents", but the picture was the same. I was wondering if you could give me an estimate of how much this was worth.

Answer
Hi Kayla

For some reason, I am not able to enlarge the scan you sent me.  It just appears as a tiny image about the size of a stamp with a lot of glare in the center.

I can tell you that the cover to this comic is a reprint of Spider-man #1 from 1963.  I assume this is one of the many reprints of that comic that have come out over the years.  

Reprints like this really don't have much collector interest or value.  However, for me to tell you exactly what you have, I would need you to give me the publishing info from the indicia of the comic, including the full title and issue number as it appears in the indicia and the publication date.
