Spiderman

Amazing Spider-Man has reached its milestone 600th issue! That’s alot of Spidey. To celebrate, San Francisco’s Comic Outpost is holding a Spider-Man anniversary party on Wednesday, July 22.

Comic Outpost has constructed a wall of all 600 issues of Amazing Spider-Man going back to issue #1 from 1963. It is probably an amazing site to take in. There will be raffles for signed books and a genuine chainsaw prop from Doctor Octopus emergency room scene in the Spider-Man 2 movie.

“Way back in the early ’70s, my mother bought me my first comic, Marvel Team-Up #42, featuring Spider-Man and Vision. From that point I was hooked!” said Comic Outpost owner Gary Buechler. “Through the years, I’ve put together a full run of Amazing Spider-Man and it’s a kick to be able to display it in my own store! It’s an honor and a duty to help give back to all of the creators who brought me and so much joy and have allowed me to actually make a living. It is the least I could do.”

“I’m very proud of my years of work on Spider-Man, and always pleasantly surprised to see that people remember it fondly still today,” said Hero Initiative Board member John Romita Sr. “My thanks to the crew at Comic Outpost. This should be a great event I wish I could attend, and should raise some much-needed funds for Hero!”

Comic Outpost is 2381 Ocean Ave in San Francisco. If you attend please take pictures for GamingAngels.com!
