BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars #8 CGC 7.5 Newsstand Edition with Mark Jewelers Insert
This is a professionally graded copy of Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars #8, published by Marvel Comics in December 1984. This specific copy is the Newsstand Edition, identified by the barcode on the lower right of the front cover. The CGC label confirms the inclusion of a Mark Jewelers insert, a rare regional advertising variant. This issue is a significant key in the Marvel Universe, featuring the origin of the alien symbiote costume that would later become Venom. The cover art, by Mike Zeck and John Beatty, showcases Spider-Man in his black costume for the first time. The interior story was written by Jim Shooter. The back cover features a full-page color advertisement for the video game Frogger II: ThreeeDeep! for Parker Brothers. The comic is encapsulated in a CGC (Certified Guaranty Company) tamper-evident protective holder with the serial number 4541691001.
