🎮 This is a 100% complete copy of the rare 1989 promotional comic book The Amazing Spider-Man & Captain America in Dr. Doom’s Revenge! #0.This unique issue was never sold on standard newsstands; instead, it was bundled exclusively as a prequel comic inside the big-box PC game release from Paragon Software.🔍Condition Notes (Estimated VF- 7.5 to 8.0, though I am not a professional comic grader).This book has been carefully handled and presents beautifully with bright, vibrant cover inks, but it does show minor wear consistent with a mid-to-high grade vintage comic.🔍Front Cover/Spine: There are minor spine ticks and color-breaking stress lines along the spine. Slight color loss/rubbing is visible on the bottom-left corner edge. The top margin shows some mild paper waving/roll and very minor color transfer in the yellow border along with minor foxing in a few places.🔍Back Cover: Features a fantastic full-page ad for the then-upcoming X-Men computer game. Shows minor surface scratching, light storage-related soiling in the white border areas, and a slight blunt indentation on the lower-left edge.🔍Interior: 100% complete, securely attached to the staples, with crisp pages. Please see the high-resolution photos provided to evaluate the exact condition for yourself.📖 Backstory & Collector Trivia:
🔹️The Video Game Connection: This comic served as a direct narrative prequel to the 1989 side-scrolling action/strategy computer game released for the Commodore 64, DOS, Amiga, Atari ST, and Amstrad CPC
🔹️The plot of the comic sets up the video game’s storyline, where Dr. Doom steals a nuclear missile and threatens to detonate it over New York City
🔹️Legendary Cover Art: The iconic front cover was penciled by legendary Marvel artist John Romita Sr., famous for defining the look of Spider-Man throughout the Silver Age
🔹️The Elusive "Issue #0": Because this book was packaged inside a video game box rather than distributed via traditional comic shops or newsstands, many copies were lost, damaged, or thrown away by gamers who didn't preserve them, making complete, high-grade copies a rare cross-collectible for both comic fans and retro gaming enthusiasts
🔹️X-Men Teaser: The back cover features a historic early look at Paragon Software's next Marvel title, X-Men: Madness in Murderworld, making this a great piece of late-80s mutant memorabilia!📦 Shipping & Handling: The comic will be shipped securely bagged and boarded, packed inside a Gemini-style box to ensure it arrives in the exact condition shown. I combine shipping on multiple orders!
