Mark’s Comic Collection Meditations
When Mark launched Chasing Amazing in 2010, the blog chronicled his “quest” to collect every issue of Amazing Spider-Man and featured a series of posts that recalled memories and meditations around specific comics he came to own. As part of this newsletter, we’re resurrecting these remembrances with some new wrinkles, and will also occasionally chronicle some other comics Mark has purchased since completing his ASM run in 2014.
It’s been nearly nine years since I picked up a copy of Amazing Spider-Man #3, thereby ending my “chase” to collect every issue of Amazing Spider-Man comics — a chase, albeit dramatically titled, that has also brought me a flurry of unexpected gifts beyond the comics themselves.
Through blogging about buying comics — because let’s be real here, that’s ultimately what the original Chasing Amazing was about — I was introduced to an entire community of fans-turned-readers and followers; one of which being Dan Gvozden, who I would launch the Amazing (nee Superior) Spider-Talk podcast with, and who I am proud to call one of my very best friends in the world despite only physically seeing him about a dozen times over the past decade.
From the blog and the podcast, I was sought out by a publisher, which led to me writing and publishing my first (and, at the moment, only) book, 100 Things Spider-Man Fans Should Know and Do Before They Die. It’s worth noting, while collecting a bunch of Spider-Man comics books was always my “fun” dream, writing and publishing a book about any topic was an actual professional dream of mine since I was a child.
These are just a few of the life-altering things this hobby has brought me, and I could probably fill another 300 pages of a book talking about everything else related to Amazing Spider-Man comics, but alas, that’s not what I’m here to discuss. What has brought me out of poetic/nostalgic waxing about comic book purchases retirement is something so unexpectedly insane that has happened to me over the past few weeks, that I still have a very difficult time both putting it down into words and processing it. So let me cut right to the “chase” if you will, since that seems to be what I’m best at:
I own Amazing Fantasy #15.
That’s right… THE Amazing Fantasy #15, the first appearance of Spider-Man … one of the true holy grail of comic books.
No, I didn’t win the lottery. No, I didn’t steal it. How did I come to own it now, on the day that I did? I don’t know if I have a satisfying answer to that question beyond, my window of opportunity to do it opened, I recognized it, and now I own it. As simple as that.
It’s crazy to think it could be that simple, but I have also found some of the most significant decisions I have made in my life were done … I wouldn’t say impulsively, but certainly quickly and … let’s say instinctively.
Back when I blogged about ASM #3, in the latter stages of that post, I talked about the “future” of Chasing Amazing. What’s next? At that point in time, I still hadn’t picked up the ASM Annuals, a bone of contention that became a running gag between Dan and I, not to mention almost everyone else in our community, including industry folks like Tom DeFalco and Tom Brevoort. As I was writing that post in 2014, I knew then, the Annuals were an inevitability, even the more expensive ones like Annual #1, not because I had some kind of sincere admiration for them, but because, yes, I know the Annuals in their own way, “count” but only as a sidebar to the bigger quest I had laid out for myself years earlier with the main series.
But when it came to Amazing Fantasy #15 … ho boy, nothing felt inevitable about that. I even cracked a joke in that blog post about maybe getting to write a book one day and using the advance to buy it before getting “scolded” by my wife to put that money to better use. And the fact of the matter is, the advance I got for 100 Things wouldn’t even have gotten me a coverless copy of Amazing Fantasy #15, nor did the book sell well enough to put me that much closer to a copy.
Then a bunch of movies came out, plus a pandemic that seemingly put the collectors market on fire. Like seriously folks, I love looking in the CLZ app as much as anyone and seeing how my collection’s worth has apparently quadrupled over the last three years, but these numbers are absolutely nuts. But I was never going to have the stomach to knuckle down and buy Amazing Fantasy #15 anyway, so why even worry about it?
However, there was a moment last summer that changed the tenor for me about this whole endeavor ever so slightly. At the time, I didn’t think much of it, but since making this purchase, I have thought about it a ton and come to realize that this was the actual turning point in my mindset to the whole Amazing Fantasy #15 situation.
While attending a comic convention, I met up with a long-term listener of our podcast and reader of Chasing Amazing who had completed his own run of ASM a few years earlier. While walking the floor of the convention hall, checking out a bunch of vendors who were selling some of the most sought after comic books in the world, this person mentioned that he himself had recently purchased a low grade copy of Amazing Fantasy #15. After I scraped my chin up off the floor, he explained to me that it was not a decision he made lightly, but he saw an opportunity for himself, realized he was never going to spend a penny less on it, and that if this was ever going to happen for him, now was the time to do it, so he did it.
Seems pretty simple, huh?
I still wasn’t totally convinced this would ever happen for me. With every news report of this book selling for a small fortune in some auction, I felt further and further removed from even having an emotional investment in one day owning Amazing Fantasy #15. Then, when I had an opportunity in August to bid on and win a copy of Amazing Spider-Man #27 from the personal collection of Spider-Man co-creator Steve Ditko, I found myself thinking about how having that one-of-a-kind collectible gave me a sense of fulfillment that made my collection “complete” (P.S., isn’t it absolutely CRAZY that I own a Ditko Collection book, and THAT’S not the lead story of a recent comic purchase I made?).
I don’t even know what compelled me to visit the website of an online comic retailer I like to purchase from on this particular day, nor do I have any inkling why I decided to type into the search bar, “Amazing Fantasy #15.” That’s the honest truth. It was really just a “oh, let’s see what they have and how crazy expensive it is.”
And that’s where I saw it. My copy of Amazing Fantasy #15.
Of course, it wasn’t mine yet, but I saw it, clear as day. The window had opened.
It was expensive — of course. But not a year of college-expensive. It was a CGC-slabbed 1.8, which, while low grade, is the same condition as my copy of ASM #1 that I famously bought in a never-aired segment of a reality show 10 years ago. So what was the catch?
The “catch,” which for me, wasn’t much of a catch at all, was that it was a CGC “qualified” 1.8, meaning it featured what I have come to learn is the “Green Label of Doom.” The “Green Label of Doom” means there’s some kind of serious flaw on the book’s interior — i.e., obstructive handwriting, a page cut out or missing, etc. — that devalued the book significantly. So while the comic was a graded 1.8, that was for the parts of the issue that were not impacted by the “flaw.”
So what was the flaw? According to the CGC slab notation, one of the “wraps,” aka, four-page spreads within the book, was “married.” Am I about to make a joke about the Peter Parker/Mary Jane marriage? I guess I just did. But seriously, what does “married” mean? Apparently, in an act of DIY restoration, a previous owner of this book replaced one of the four-page spreads of Amazing Fantasy #15 with the same spread from another copy of Amazing Fantasy #15.
First, let’s remark on the fact that someone, somewhere had two copies of Amazing Fantasy #15 … in any condition. Utterly amazing.
But also, why did this person do this? We’ll never know, because the book is slabbed and sealed off for all of eternity.
So basically, I could buy a copy of one of the most sought after comic books, and the one that features the origin and very first appearance of my all-time favorite character that was otherwise intact but featured this one very quirky flaw on the interior that I will never have to see and think about, for a price that was only slightly more expensive than what some retailers sell a “coverless” copy for.
I sat on this information for about 30 minutes, as I walked through the front door of my house and greeted my wife. I needed to tell her what I had just found, but was trying to think of the best way to broach it.
It’s worth saying, jokes aside from my ASM #3 blog post, my wife has always been tremendously supportive of my collection and understands about as well as someone who does not collect comic books can understand, the utter gravity of owning a copy of Amazing Fantasy #15. With all that said, this was still going to be a significant expense for our household, so I absolutely needed to make sure that she was not only aware, but 100% on board.
Of course, when I finally did talk to her about it, she didn’t totally embrace the idea from jump street. But she didn’t shut it down either. Because she understood what was happening here. She asked “why now, why this copy?” and I told her, “because this is it. This is my copy.”
There was a little bit more to the negotiation than that, but nothing remotely tumultuous that would make me come to regret what I was about to do.
I also texted Dan.
I needed a gut check from him, but also I was brimming with excitement. I admittedly felt pangs of guilt about this. If there’s anyone in this universe who truly understands the significance of what I was about to do was Dan and I know for him, in that moment, his window of opportunity wasn’t open. However, I later told him what that one listener told me — you got to look for it, and don’t discount it happening one day and not act.
I clicked “buy” … and then jumped through about 20 more hoops because when you buy a comic like Amazing Fantasy #15, even the most respected, long-standing retailers don’t let you just “put it on a credit card” to finalize the transaction. But those hoops were successfully jumped through. And then about 72 hours later, it arrived by mail and I officially owned Amazing Fantasy #15.
In the days that followed, the people that I’ve shared this news with, have surmised that NOW my collection is “complete” and that my “dreams have come true.” But it’s honestly a lot deeper and less tangible than that. Don’t get me wrong, I am beyond ecstatic. There was almost something ethereal about opening that package, sliding out that comic and seeing the words on the slab, “Origin & 1st appearance of Spider-Man.” Like, seriously? Is this real life?
And no, I’m not thinking about what comes “next” here like I did with that purchase of ASM #3.
No, I’m not in a rush to spend more money on comics beyond the new issue of ASM coming out every two weeks any time soon, but I also don’t think I’ll forever stop buying back issues of Spider-Man comics.
And does it even matter anymore?
I own Amazing Fantasy #15.
Swarm’s B(ee)-Title Reviews
With every new edition of the Amazing Spider-Talk Substack, Dan and Mark will venture to write short reviews of all the various Spider-Man books (and major Marvel releases) that have released since the previous newsletter. Sometimes Swarm might chime in as well. So “bee” prepared!
Ultimate Invasion #4
Mark: I may be in the minority of comic book readers … in that I think I’m one of the few that will publicly admit that I find the vast majority of what Hickman writes to be too challenging to ultimately enjoy. In this instance, a miniseries that was, in theory, supposed to reintroduce the world to the Ultimate Universe, instead pivoted to a story about multiversal Reed Richards (Hickman’s favorite), and the birth of a new Immortus/Iron Lad. (Remember Iron Lad from the 90s? Well, he’s back in Pog form.) Regardless, with a few notable exceptions (his original Fantastic Four run and Secret Wars), I find Hickman’s writing too self indulgent and wonky to read.
G.O.D.S. #1
Dan: On the other hand, we have G.O.D.S. #1, which proves that Hickman can still write a satisfying adventure story that introduces new concepts and ideas, but mostly just counts on its characters being entertaining enough to follow around. The introduction of The-Powers-That-Be and The-Natural-Order-of-Things leaves a ton of questions yet to be answered, specifically regarding the advertising surrounding this book and how it will “reinvent the cosmology of the Marvel Universe.” But, for a first issue, this one is a pretty straightforward tale about a bunch of new characters who sound a lot like the movie stars in the Marvel Cinematic Universe: effortlessly charismatic, two-steps ahead of the audience, and spouting non-stop one-liners.
I was tremendously disappointed in Ultimate Invasion for essentially being a bait-and-switch (heck, it’s not even Earth-1610) and complicated in exactly the opposite way that the launch of the original Ultimate Universe wasn’t. However, if the style of this issue was how the new Ultimate Universe was reintroduced, I’d be completely onboard. For now, G.O.D.S. has my attention. Sometimes, it’s good for comics to be… fun.
Death of Venomverse #5
Mark: Not to be the old crank in the room, but I’m old enough to remember when Venom was just an angry guy who wanted to kill Peter Parker/Spider-Man and eat some brains. I get that character evolution is important, but giving a character depth and giving that same character a bunch of multiversal counterparts that are written into existence for the explicit purpose of being canon fodder for an even more one-note character like Carnage are not one and the same. Meanwhile, the last chapter of Death of Venomverse reads like the symbiote version of Thanos Quest, if Thanos Quest starred an uncharismatic villain who rather than use strategic brilliance to become an existential threat to the universe, instead just stabbed a bunch of red-shirt Venoms.
Dan: Have you ever played flag football with someone who changed the rules every time you made any progress? That’s what reading this felt like. New rules were constantly being created out of nowhere as the goalposts continued to change. At the very least, though, this is the first Death of… that actually delivered on its name. Oh, and Death of the Inhumans but I basically had Dr. Strange “One More Day” that out of my mind. It worked Marvel! I forgot about the existence of the Inhumans!
Spider-Man: India #4
Dan: This series has been some good, old-fashioned Spider-Man “hoo-ha!” fun from the start and this issue keeps the party going. Spider-Man: India’s Earth-50101 isn’t the most compelling alternate dimension for Spider-Man stories, but it contains so many of the elements that made early issues of The Amazing Spider-Man a fun read, if only because it just outright copies them into a different cultural context. I mean, Pavitr Prabhakar is an outright jerk here who has abandoned his Spider-Man costume. What could be more Ditko than that?
I do wish the cultural identity of India and its people played a more distinct role in this book, other than just continuing to rename already familiar Spider-Man characters and tropes. Still, this book is inoffensive (by my estimation), light, comic book silliness and perfect for a kid’s first Spidey story if the endless reprints of the Dikto books are out of stock in your store.
Spine-Tingling Spider-Man #0
Mark: An undoubtedly beautiful book courtesy of Juan Ferreyra, I’m still not 100% sold on a Spider-Man title that focuses on the occult (as a matter of personal preference). All the same, this comic works quite well as a standalone “Elseworlds” type story and I’m willing to give the concept a chance as a limited series. And Ferreyra continues to be someone I want to see get a long, hard look on a Spider-Man series, as his visuals really evoke the creepy vibe Saladin Ahmed is going for.
Red Goblin #9
Dan: This series has been the unexpected surprise of the Spider-Man/Venom comics line in the year 2023 (see also: Cult of Carnage: Misery, worst. title. ever.). I still don’t know that I want to read a book about Normie Osborn, much less Normie Osborn wearing his own offspring of the Carnage symbiote. It just shouldn’t work and shouldn’t be receiving praise from me. But, I can’t help but admit that this has been a compelling story that has explored Normie’s rage in the wake of his father’s death, his grandfather’s manipulations, and his long-simmering hatred of Spider-Man.
Plus, the book is being used to clean up dangling plotlines from the main Amazing Spider-Man title that accumulated over the years from Dan Slott’s long run. Is the existence of a book like this good for the long-term health of the Spider-Man line? Absolutely not. The superhero/villain-ification of every one of Spider-Man’s supporting cast is a serious problem that is destroying the identity of the line. But… this is actually a good comic. So… let’s call it a wash.
Mark’s Weekly Top Five
This week, as a major Goblin story concludes, Mark ranks his five favorite Goblin “variants.”
Check out the ChasingASMBlog Instagram feed to find out who made the list… but let’s be real here, which four Goblin characters fall behind Roderick Kingsley’s Hobgoblin?
This Week in Spider-Man History
40 years ago this week (October 4, 1983), Marvel published Amazing Spider-Man #248, which features one of the most iconic and heartbreaking stories in Spider-Man – or comics – history with “The Kid Who Collects Spider-Man” by Roger Stern and Ron Frenz.
We spoke to Ron Frenz about his art in that particular story as he detailed his process page by page. This was an unforgettable discussion that shed so much light on the process of creating a classic Spider-Man story. Plus, artist Nick Cagnetti gave us his own interpretation of the story for our episode cover!
Plus, for our Patreon subscribers (still available to download or request a print) we commissioned Ron to create a “lost” page of “The Kid Who Collects Spider-Man”, as if Tim shared his Spider-Man comic collection with the hero himself!
Dan: I originally planned to write text to have lettered into this page, with Spider-Man remarking on how silly the comics were. However, when it came down to it… I just couldn’t bring myself to put words into Spidey’s mouth or even feign to imitate Roger Stern’s writing. So, I left it wordless. Maybe someday I can get Stern to tell me what Spidey might have said.
Extra credit to those of you can name the comics that Spider-Man and Tim are looking at in the image below.
Audience Comments/Questions Answered
With every new edition of the Amazing Spider-Talk Substack, Mark and Dan will answer your submitted questions about any topic that you might be interested in. They will prioritize submissions from the Amazing Spider-Talk Patreon (sign up), but lacking any queries there they will respond to questions asked in the comments below. To get your question potentially picked, the Patreon is the best way to submit them.
Alright, let’s get to our first batch of questions from the Patreon:
Garrett Wease
Is there a single-most impactful decision (be it editorial or otherwise) that could be made (or not made) in the near future that would, in your opinion, allow ASM/Peter as a character to come closer to meeting its/his full potential?
Mark: I always have a hard time with questions like these because despite being a long-time fan of Spider-Man comic books I have never fancied myself as an aspiring creator or editor. Additionally, what is the “full potential” of Spider-Man/Peter? Spider-Man is almost universally beloved, is one of the most iconic comic book characters to ever exist, and his flagship book, Amazing Spider-Man, despite any divisiveness that may exist over one’s opinions of it, remains among the best-selling comics. What other potential is there within the pages of comics for this character or book to reach?
Ultimately, I like what I like, and I like Amazing Spider-Man and Peter as a character the most; this is especially true when we get a book that focuses on his inner dialogue, his ongoing grapplings with power and responsibility, and his interactions with his fantastic supporting cast both in and out of costume. Not sure I can make more of a recommendation than to just continually use these elements as the North Star for Spider-Man.
Dan: Like Mark, I struggle to answer questions like this. Unlike Mark, I’ve not been shy about my desire to work as a creator or editor; I’ve worked as an assistant editor at a few publishers over the years and I am currently working on a comic pitch/script to shop around. However, my desires to offer any input on Spider-Man comics are purely those of a reader/critic. I know I can’t possibly begin to imagine the juggling act that is putting together a line of comics like those out of the Spider-Office.
To that point, my advice on how to make a change to let the Amazing Spider-Man title achieve its full potential (whatever you define that as) is purely fantastical and flies directly in the face of what Marvel likely needs from the title. My advice would really be to eliminate much of the Spider-Man line of books and no longer think of Amazing Spider-Man as a “blockbuster” title that thrives on big ideas. As much as I loved much of the Dan Slott run, I think the high concept nature of that run has done lasting damage to the way Marvel publishes and we read Spider-Man comics.
Let’s face it, Amazing Spider-Man has become Marvel’s premiere book and the leader of a line-wide group of comics about his supporting cast, alternate versions of the character, and even his villains (I’m looking at you Venom). That has placed a ton of expectations on the title to not only deliver on successful stories at a bimonthly pace, but also to seed other successful titles and reflect a whole line of books. That’s a tough task for any single title to do and I think the book has suffered as a result of it.
Sure, sometimes it works. Reading the entire Superior line of titles was exciting, it felt like the rare instance where everything was working together and bouncing off of a once-in-a-lifetime big idea that could support a ton of different books reacting to the main title. But, in all other instances, I think the title hasn’t been able to support that weight without deviating from the things that made Amazing Spider-Man such a beloved book (see Mark’s answer above). Instead, the title tends to bounce from one big idea to another and lost in it all is the everyday life of Peter Parker, the relatable everyman hero.
Really, I think there is just too much pressure on Amazing Spider-Man to be the book to support the entire line of Marvel Comics, while also attempting to provide the proper focus on Peter Parker and his unique life. That’s not to say we haven’t had excellent creatives and runs that have found a way to balance these needs, but they often have major stumbles along the way that interrupt whatever flow they are trying to get into (for a recent example look to Amazing Spider-Man (vol. 6) #26). For all the crap that “Brand New Day” gets (though, I will defend it as one of the best periods of modern Spider-Man), the best thing it did was narrow the line of titles to mostly a thrice-monthly Amazing Spider-Man title that felt comfortable lowering the stakes and really narrowing the focus to Peter Parker and his escapades of the week/month/year.
But, I know that Spider-Man comics are in a different place than they were 15 years ago and that the people behind these books likely want the same thing I do, but are faced with economic realities that prevent them from doing so. Either way, great Spider-Man comics come out just about every two weeks, so who am I to complain?
Taylor Murphy
Could you walk us through your preparation process for your review episodes? I hear you guys talk on the show about show notes… does one of you start that up in a shared doc and then the other person adds to it? Do each of you have your own that you then combine into a single list in a pre-show discussion (that you then both keep on the screen while you record)? Are these notes often just broad subjects you each want to hit on (with your own bullet points to cover for each that the other doesn’t see)? Mark often says “not to get into the sausage-making” when he pulls the curtain back a little on some of these episodes… but nahhhh, I wanna find out what’s in that sausage, haha.
Mark: Dan has always filled more of the “producer” role but I do feel like I started to take an active role in the actual show production when we started to put together the seasonal content. Between Chasing Amazing and my 100 Things background (not to mention that I am the victor of 400th episode trivia), I’ve gravitated to becoming more of the show “historian”. So, I tend to assemble the general outlines in a shared document for the seasonal content unless it’s a topic that I know is really in Dan’s wheelhouse (i.e., anything Ron Frenz-driven and when we get there, Ultimate Spider-Man-driven). I tend to make the “sausage-making” jokes, because yes, we have a document in front of us with talking points to help guide the conversation, but ultimately a lot of what we come up with is pretty organic and off-the-cuff. During the new issue reviews, I tend to NOT share my notes with Dan ahead of time and just work off of his because as the resident curmudgeon I think keeping Dan on his toes for my wild musings and insertions of phrases like “attached with a rivet gun” is good podcasting!
Dan: I won’t get into the whole behind-the-scenes process of what makes a show like ours go, except to note that the first five years or so was a nearly 40-hours a week endeavor (between managing the show and the website). Today, the whole process is much more streamlined, especially thanks to the work of our editors Rick Coste and Alex Galucki. Without their support and the support of our Patreon members the show wouldn’t continue, at least without my wife divorcing me. It is still a stress, especially now that I have a toddler in my life, but I’m working on finding the right balance and learning to sacrifice for what matters.
But, Mark does a good job of laying out how the process works. I am the master showrunner/producer and I put together a document each week for the review episodes, as well as create the artwork for each episode’s banner. I have a strong belief in having an orderly show that moves fairly briskly from topic to topic and that allows the audience to follow our thought process. I’ve listened to a ton of podcasts to know what I like and don’t like, and our show is a reflection of that. Perfect? No. But just about as close to my ideal as it could be given our restrictions.
Much of the show operates off a similar but evolving script, which seems to have found a sweet spot recently between Mark’s recaps and our discussions. I write out all the notes for my own thoughts, broken up into four or five different sections of topics that we want to cover. When Mark refers to "sausage-making” it’s typically because he’s looking ahead in the notes to a future topic that has crossed over into whatever we are discussing at the moment. We try to segment it all out, but sometimes these things can’t be separated entirely.
I write a ton of notes for myself because I’m not great at keeping all my thoughts together at once. I’ll read something and think of an idea in the moment but not be able to recall it later. We all saw how bad my recall was in the trivia in episode 400. But also because I have an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and sometimes it helps me buffer the flow of conversation when I have much of it laid out before me. Could I do it without notes? Definitely. But, I feel much more confident not having to recall information in the midst of the show. I think I’ve gotten good at making it seem invisible and still having fun riffing on the air.
So, let me be clear. The show is in no way scripted, it’s all off-the-cuff, I just have an outline of what I want to be sure to hit as we go through the show. I hope that answered your question!
