Spider-man Never Comes to Town Anymore, Which is a Shame

You'd best act now on this collectible comic, which came gratis with a Dallas Times Herald back in 1983 and is going for pennies on the pound for two more days. (This eBay'er wants $100, good God.) Though, come to think of it, the Texas Stadium Spidey's probably more appropriate,...

You'd best act now on this collectible comic, which came gratis with a Dallas Times Herald back in 1983 and is going for pennies on the pound for two more days. (This eBay'er wants $100, good God.)

And there's always the Spider-man Goes to Sanger-Harris comic, which I still have -- dunno why. Even took the Hulk with him once, awww. Left him home for the trip to the Dallas Ballet's Nutcracker, though. --Robert Wilonsky
