I wanted to buy the Spiderman comic reviewed on your site where you can send
in a
picture, and it becomes a personalized comic. When I try to follow the link, I
can't find any information. Please send a link as we would like to do this
for a
Christmas gift.
Thanks! Stacy
You are speaking, of course, of the Spider-Man A "Personalized" Spider-Man
Story
book.
The rights for this book now appear to be owned by a company calling itself
My Create-A-Book. Follow that line,
and I
believe you can order online. I've also seen these for sale in shopping malls
during
school holidays. Presumably you place your order at the mall and receive the
book
later in the post.
From Aaron Baggett
Me and my brother used to have a lot of comics and they were stolen one
day. One comic (or a few really) involved a lot of marvel characters fighting
something.
We can't remember much about it. The biggest part I remember is spiderman
getting caught and freaking out and screaming Mary Jane over and over
while the bad guys rip his heart and and kill him. There is a battle and
cyclops gets hit making him rip his eye beams through a lot of his allies
and at the end the only ones who are left alive are wolverine,capt
america, and i think gambit.
We have asked around and no one has heard of what we are talking about.
Have you?
The Oracle Knows All. You speak of MyS-Tech Wars #2. Alternate Universe
Spider-Man dies during a demonic invasion. But the history is undone, and only
remembered by a select few. We will update our
F.A.Q. to include this, thanks.

I just noticed that my copy of Spectacular Spiderman #189 has a November date
on the
cover. On the inside, it says June 1992, and the pic on the spiderfan website
says
June. Do you know why this is so?
The original printing of Spectacular Spider-Man (Vol. 1) #189 definitely
has
June on the cover. You presumably have a later printing. As a rule, SpiderFan
doesn't track second printings, unless they have a variant cover.
From Frank
Does Untold Tales of Spider-Man #25 have an alternative cover?
No, it doesn't.
From Briget
You have a graphic on your Mary Jane Watson page in the right hand column
- next to last row (she's in a bikini in front of a waterfall)
I believe this was originally a near life size poster.
Can you a) confirm that and b) tell me who the artist was and c) give me
the publication date.
The image is the centerfold of Marvel Illustrated, published in 1991. We have
it filed as Marvel Swimsuit Special 1991.
The artist is Joe Jusko. And yes, it was made as a door poster too.
From Andrew
Surfing the web I came across an Italian spider-man title (book? magazine?
can't
recall) that had been translated into French but not English. I haven't been
able
to find it again and I'm just wondering if you, or any of your staff members,
know
of it.
The book is Spider-Man: Il Segreto Del Vetro - The Secret of the Glass. We
don't
track foreign reprints on Spider-Man. But we do have this in the database,
since it
was originally written in a foreign language - the only instance of this that
we
know
of so far.
The story has recently been published in English. The trade paperback
Marvel Europa prints translated versions of this tale as well as
Saudade (starring Wolverine) and Dead on Arrival (starring Daredevil and
Captain America). It's been released in the UK by Panini(ISBN 978-1905239627).
There's no news of an American release at present.
From Anthony
I was wondering in the Amazing Spider-man comics, If
you can, could you tell me which comic book issue,when he first becomes
the black spider-man for the first time.
An easy one. In Secret Wars #8, as described in our section on Spider-
Man's
Bla
ck
Costume.
From Theo
I know that Ricochet, like the rest of the slingers, was very much a tribute
to the
Identity crisis characters. And I know you're an expert on Spidey, not
necessarily
Spidey spin-offs. However, I can't seem to find any images without Ricochet
(Johnny
Gallo) out of his costume. Would you know of an issue number I could search
for,
either invovling the Runaways or any other titles?
Try pretty much any issue of the The Loners mini-series. Also issues of
Runaways
that introduced Excelsior, and several issues of Slingers.
From Nora
Hi, enjoying your site immensely. A few years ago (while reading 44 Years
of Fantastic Four (which, unfortunately, I no longer have), I read a
late-issue story I loved, but can't seem to locate again. Thought I'd
roll the dice and see you might know. In a nutshell, Johnny and the Four
are out of favor with the public (because of Reed's supposed takeover of
Latveria). Torch asks Spidey for advice on how to deal with it. The one
scene that stands out? Johnny, sans pants, sitting in the ocean afraid to
come out.
I wonder if you can help me locate the issue?
The Oracle knows all, and can certainly help you locate this story. It is
from
Fantastic Four #512 and Fantastic Four #513. The first is underneath
the
cushion of your sofa in the TV room. The second is buried in a pile of FHM and
Maxim
magazines in your guest bathroom.
From From fuentehiga
I have two questions:
Do you know in what comics is told the Graduation dance party in the Midtown
Institute?
Is There some comic where some newspaper (not Bugle) gives a prize to Peter
Parker
becasue he has caught a thief?
Your feeble attempts to confuse the Oracle can never succeed. There is no
Midtown Institute.
Peter attended Midtown High School, but there was no dance party for his High
School Graduation.
Well, there probably was, but Peter sure wasn't invited!
In Web of Spider-Man #11, Peter intervenes to stop an assault in a
laundrette, and
gains some public recognition. However, he doesn't receive any formal
award.
