[WTB] Looking for The Amazing Spiderman Poster and Comic Book

[jurassicman]

Hi there,
As per the title I'm looking for the game The Amazing Spiderman (any version, Amiga, Atari, C64 or PC DOS) as long as it is complete of the two items that are missing in my Amiga Box, the Poster and the Comic Book. I'm willing to buy either the complete game or only the two inserts you can see in the attached pictures.

If you do have what I'm looking for and are willing to sell, please send me a few pictures of the actual items so that I can see their condition and, of course, let me know your request.
Thanks in advance!

UPDATE:
Please mods, would it be possible to modify the thread title in - Looking for "The Amazing Spiderman" Complete Game or only Poster and Comic Book -

Considering the price of these comics and posters are quite high, I'd imagine most people would have sold on.

Here are 2 of the comic books for sale though:

Yup... I saw them, crazy prices.

There was an auction on Ebay for the complete game that ended at 91 euros a few days ago, unfortunately i bet less.

I checked the account of the winner of the auction and I saw that in the last months he did bet only on comics and similar things. That was his only bid on a videogame. Probably his higher bet was much more than 91 euros and I'm pretty sure that he bought it just to resell the comic at those prices...

Yes a lot of people are buying to sell on at huge profits.

This is sadly how the world is run at the moment. Gone are the days when people sold at reasonable price to allow others to use/enjoy a product than be so scared to do anything with it because of the investment they put in to acquire it.

Judging from the first page, the contents look identical to Spider-Man #1 by Todd McFarlane, which was printed a lot. I imagine you want the actual game variation, but if you want the story you can likely pick it up cheap.

@demoniac
I saw that the cover of the comic book that came with the game is similar to the one of Spider-Man #1 by Todd MacFarlene (see attached image) but I don't know anything about the content.
Do you have both and have you checked that?
In this cover it says part one of five, the comic that came with the game was also incomplete?

[demoniac]

I have never seen the comic that came with the game.

I have read Spider-Man #1 by McFarlane. Judging by the interior pics of the 2nd auction link for page 1 and this other page, they are identical to the regular issue.

The story itself was not good. Todd was known for his artwork and that was his first attempt at writing. It's a 5-issue story about Spider-Man fighting the Lizard.

[jurassicman]

thanks for the info... the artwork is very nice indeed but unfortunately I can't say anything about the story...

[demoniac]

McFarlane later created Spawn and that became his brand. Also I figured out that the other scanned page was the last page with the Part 2 box blacked out. The game poster looks like McFarlane art as well, but not sure where it is from. Maybe it was a promo poster to advertise the new comic title?

[demoniac]

I figured out that the poster art is also part of McFarlane's portfolio included in the issue's Platinum Edition (colored by Gregory Wright). It's not part of the Issue 1's original run(s). Marvel printed at least 4 runs of that issue for the US market.

It seems like Marvel UK printed Issue 1 under The Complete Spider-Man title, which interior content-wise looks identical to the comic included in the UK release of the game, not included with the US version. One could probably pick that up easily as well as opposed to getting the game contents.

[jurassicman]

Thanks demoniac!
Considering prices and "rarity" of the original one I think that I will have to get the Complete Spiderman #1 and be happy with it...
I was looking at the link you sent me. The one with the game says that was 24 pages long while the one for sale was 100 pages long.
So, if I correctly understood, in the one for sale there were all 5 parts of the story and in the gifted copy only the first one?

[demoniac]

I am not sure where you saw the 100 page issue, but the original issue is 24 pages with ads. Probably 4 pages are ads. As there are 5 parts to the story arc, I can see how the 100 pages could contain all 5 parts.

I figured out that the Marvel UK listing is 100 pages. No idea. Maybe it collected all 5 issues. Maybe it has other material. Go do some research and let us know.

[jurassicman]

Here it says "pages: 100"

I thought that it was complete with the 5 chapters while the one that came with the game that is 24 pages long is just chapter one.

Unfortunately I've just found a few pictures of the content of these comic books and I'm not able to compare them so I'm just guessing.

Thanks for your interest, much appreciated.

Thank you for looking into the comic book that came with the game I've added the info to the HOL entry.

[demoniac]

One more piece of info, the game's plot has nothing to do with the included comic book.
