To be fair that's not just a Spider-Man comic, that's THE Spider-Man comic. Like the very first one. There was no Spider-Man before that issue lol

It should really be in a locked case if you're going to display it at all.

I would guess this is either a close up of a shelf behind the counter or a fake comic for display purposes only. I would hope so at least lol

Looks like a booth at a con perhaps based on the background.

It's fake or someone is seriously fucking up.

If that thing were real, any self respecting collector would have it in an air sealed case (that appears to have an open top), and frankly wouldn't be putting it out on any rack whatsoever.

This is not an item you sell off a rack at a store or con. This is an auction item.

They're are a lot of nicer copies of things that will never be graded due to the basics of supply and demand.

It does kinda look like a xerox. I hope you're right.

Doesn't like a Spider-Man comic at all actually, it's a Spider Man comic. Hyphenation matters!

I'm talking about the cover of the original comic. I know it's actually hyphenated now but it is clearly not in OP's picture

[–] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

This is Spider Man without the hyphen:

I heard he may actually be a Man Spider though...
