This Amazing Spider-Man #361 comic book is a must-have for any Marvel fan. It is a First Print Edition and is certified by the Certified Guaranty Company (CGC) with a grade of 9.6 Near Mint+ (WHITE Pages). The issue number is 361, published by Marvel Comics in 1992, and the cover features artwork by Randy Emberlin and Mark Bagley. This comic features a cast of beloved characters, including Spider-Man, Venom, and Aunt May Parker, but its true claim to fame is that this issue features the FIRST APPEARANCE OF CARNAGE! Whether you’re a collector or a fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), this comic is a great addition to your collection. Don’t miss out on the chance to own a piece of comic book history! It was well stored and cared for and eventually, sent out to CGC for certification and subsequent encapsulation to preserve its superb condition (9.6 Near Mint+ WHITE Pages). This book has been encapsulated within a BRAND NEW SLAB just back from CGC! It also features a stunning SPIDER-MAN CUSTOM LABEL! All photos provided, and the GCG Certification Number included above, are of the actual book that you are purchasing. And if the books are CGC Graded then I will always provide the CGC Certification Number so that you may verify it’s validity for yourself and this will also allow you to review Grader’s Notes, if any were provided by CGC. Some reflections of my chandelier may appear as white spots upon the book, but by comparing the same areas in different photos you will see that these spots are merely reflections of the aforementioned lighting fixture. Graded books may have scuffs or Newton Rings the’rainbow effect’ or’Newton Rings’ are a normal occurrence when two different plastics (which have different refractive indexes) are placed together. It’s what you sometimes see on a smartphone screen protector or on the edges of an LCD screen. This is a result of the inner sleeve (which holds the book) contacting the hard-plastic outer shell; the two different plastics have different refractive indexes and that sometimes creates a rainbow effect when they come into contact. CGC does not consider’Newton Rings’ to be defects. They do not affect the grade or condition of the book in any way, shape or form. All items are packed extremely well, so as to reach you safely and securely in excellent condition.
