Item Description

Legendary comic book artist Gil Kane had long made a name for himself on multiple titles at DC Comics from the mid-50s through the end of the 1960s . . and then changed stomping grounds and became a mainstay at Marvel Comics through the end of his career. Here is his 2nd issue of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN in a brilliant 22-issue run!

In "And Death Shall Come!", written by Stan Lee, with Kane's pencils inked by John Romita, the story continues directly from issue #89 and SPIDER-MAN's fight with DR. OCTOPUS! Escaping with his life, but collapsing, Peter is brought back to health by his girlfriend, Gwen Stacy!

Hoping to track down and stop DR. OCTOPUS, Peter experiments with an improvement in his web fluid, then swings out in search of DOC OCK! In battle, SPIDER-MAN coats OCK's tentacles with his fluid, causing them to go out of control, crashing into a large chimney, the rubble from which rains down on the spectators below - among whom is Gwen's father, Captain Stacy! The results are tragic!

Beautifully dynamic action by Gil Kane, with Romita's handsome inking!

This is a really nice, great-looking and solid copy of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #90, with a strong binding, supple pages and bright color. The pages have very little toning for a 51-year-old comic, and no foxing. Overstreet prices this issue in a grade of 8.0 VF at $73 . . . but we think $59 is a bit more reasonable! (And our mere $2 shipping fee is another good reason to take this Spidey home!)
