Notable Features
This is a promotional reprint included in various newspapers (The New York Post, etc.) as Volume 10 of the Spider-Man Collectible Series. It features a distinct black border, a 'NOT FOR RESALE' notice on the bottom right, and is smaller than a standard-sized comic book.
Authentication Notes
Authenticated by the 'Spider-Man Collectible Series - Volume 10' text along the left edge and the 'NOT FOR RESALE' text. This is frequently mistaken for the 1963 original by novice collectors, but the black borders and paper quality clearly identify it as the 2006 promotional version.
