Amazing Spider-Man (1963 1st Series) Golden Record Reprint 1COMIC VF- 7.5 Comic Only Variant
Mild cover oxidation.
Starts Jul 6 COMIC ONLY NO RECORD. The Amazing Spider-Man Golden Record Reprint (28-pages, full-color, standard comic format) was produced in 1966 and reprints Amazing Spider-Man #1. Although the reprint, at first glance, looks like the original, there are differences. There is no cover price on the reprint, and the back cover, as well as the inside covers, promote the Golden Record LP series of which the Amazing Spider-Man #1 is a part. The four Marvel Golden Record LPs came with a reprint comic, and each originally sold for $2.49 (record and comic together). In addition to the Amazing Spider-Man LP, there were records produced for Thor (Journey into Mystery #83), Avengers #4; and Fantastic Four #1, all with their own reprint comic. We bought these sets when they first appeared and can still remember following the story in the comic reprint while the record played and the narrator read the story to us. Just to make sure we didn't lose our place, he would say "Turn page," each time he finished the last panel on a page.
