Every Key Comic from Peter Parker the Spectacular Spider-Man (1976-1998) 

Weird that like half of these that aren't that great stories, yet because they're first appearances, they're worth more than the countless brilliant stories in this series.

As a Spider man fan who grew up in the 80s and 90s it was fun to see some of the comics I grew up reading. I leaned towards Spectacular Spider Man because buying back issues was much cheaper than from the Amazing Spider Man line. Sadly my entire comic book collection from my youth got stolen from a storage unit decades ago.

Marvel launched its 2nd ongoing title for Spider-Man in 1976, labeling it Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man. However, as years went by, many retailers racked it under "Spectacular" -- probably to be closer to other Spider-Man related material -- and the name officially changed The Spectacular Spider-Man, even though many still referred to it as "Peter Parker."

0:32 A comic book series running for years. That’s a thing of the past, sadly.

That Spectacular 43 is the first Roderick Kingsley aka the Hobgoblin...

Sadly this is what is wrong with the industry these days. People are buying comics because they think it's going to be worth something, not because they enjoyed the story contain within the issue. They tried it in the 90's and it crashed the market. Now they're trying again because of the movies.

What an informative video thank you so much for sharing your Peter Parker knowledge! I'm going to get my Spectacular Spider-Man collection out LOL I need to check this out!

PPSS #90 was the FIRST APPEARANCE of the black suit. It came out 2 weeks before ASM #252. I was collecting heavily at the time as a child so I remember!

Rising in price

How didn't you make a joke about a character named corona or the fact that it was a flute that spread throughout NYC? Lol. Great vid! I gotta grab a few of these.

i aint watching the whole vid cause im going through spiderman comics never hsving read any but he has so many crappy villians that im glad are still there

This is an awesome video. Any chance you could also do one for Web of Spider-Man?

Unless it's graded a 9.8, which is not normal, I don't think these go for that much however these are keys. Cool video

Fun video! Only missed 2 keys, 116 and 119, classic sabretooth fights :)

Great video. I started collecting this series about 6 months ago. Reliving my childhood so to speak. I have issues 1 thru 24. Looking forward to slowly adding the next 239 issues. 😃

Awesome 👍 think you for the tips

Phil Urich, not Ben Urich as Green Goblin

The only real keys up through Kraven’s Last Hunt are #1, first Carrion, first Frank Miller Daredevil, first Roderick Kingsley, first Cloak and Dagger, first black symbiote costume, death of Jean DeWolf and Kraven’s Last Hunt issues. The rest is fluff. Post Kraven issues I don’t know anything about, I had stopped collecting by then.

Bro. Where the heck were you getting thoes prices from? You lost your mind 😂The highest some of thoes books went were $200 and that was for graded 9.8s

What about 75-79? 75 was the anniversary issue and had black cat and a solidly unhinged doc ock. Probably my fav storyline. Waited eagerly each month for dad to bring the next issue.

The issue 90 is currently going for $19+ on eBay. Big fall from $250?

Last year i picked up both '91 Spectacular Spider-Man #176 and #177 first and second appearances of Corona, 30 year old comicbooks that later become a reality in '20 to '21 of the Corona virus pandemic that well be significance of what is happening now.

Thanks. I'm saving this video for reference.I've leaned towards the ASM books but I do have some of these, Including two copies of number one. Maybe they'll introduce Tarantula in the mcu one day. Always pictured someone like Antonio Banderas playing him. His costume looks awesome & this cover looks great next to ASM 129 with the yellow background. Always thought ASM #132 was his first appearance & Spectacular Spidey one was an almost cover swipe

I don't think these are all considered keys. Where do you come up with this shit?

Spectacular Spider-Man 43 is also first Roderick Kingsley

Best issues of this run are 64 69 70 72 to 76

They might be keys but most of them are unreadable rubbish. For collectors only.

is there a omnibus for this run?

Hey dude, why did they use Parker's name above Spider-Man, when comic book readers knew who he was already?

Best offer please

Amazing video! Thx.

Very interesting. I have absolutely no idea why issue 101 is so expensive. There's no reason for it at all. 🤔

24?

(3:48) Rodrerick Kingsley. Spectacular Spiderman 43.

Solid video that brought back memories. I remember getting SSM off the spinning racks during the 90s. Picked them mostly because they were cheaper than ASM. Recently picked myself up a nice 9.4 CGC slabbed SSM issue 1 for under $100. Raw copies of these keys can be easily found in the $1-2 bins. The nostalgia -- and my personal bias that this series is so underrated -- is quite strong.

Thank you for this video. Awesome job! I have a couple of questions that would help me understand exactly what you mean when talking grade and price: When you say "high-grade copy", in your opinion, what does that mean? Near Mint and higher? VF/NM or higher? Also, when you give the estimated price for a high grade copy, are you talking about raw comics or books that are certified by CGC, CBCS, etc...? Thank you.

10:26- PHIL URICH! Ben was his uncle .

Wait, why no issue #75? That was a pretty important issue .

Excellent thanks

Tombstone not a key ? Sacralidge lol

Hello. What does key mean? Thanks

Great video- very informative. What size Mylar are those in- does it fit modern bags?

Spectacular Spider-Man#64 is the only one in that run that I would get cause it is the only really major key.

Thanks for posting. This is a good breakdown of this series books for the speculators out there.

Carrion is not pronounced “carry-onn”
