Spider Woman Key Comics & Other Issues Part 1!


And here we are with another key comics series request, and this has to do with some Spider-Woman key comics and other debuts. I forgot who requested so my apologies.

There will definitely be minor key issues of debuts of not-so-well-known characters as well.

You know, the usual thing that goes on around here which is digging up stuff. Think Sony is gonna have this character in a spin-off flick? I dunno about that, but I suppose anything is possible.

Now, I said the character of Spider-Woman, but I really meant these. There are quite a few characters who have taken up the mantle and we will get to as many of those as possible. Still, think Silk is a better candidate for that happening but what do I know?

Disney and FOX are back at it. Some say they're working out some kind of deal to get their on-screen properties to co-exist in the same universe and some are saying that Disney is just trying to flat out buy FOX.

Either way, it's interesting stuff. Some of these will be straight cut from other key comic series already done and pasted here, with maybe a little bit added to it or not. Alright, enough beating around the bush and lets get to it.





MARVEL SPOTLIGHT #32
1st appearance & original origin of Spider-Woman
 
Jessica Drew as the original Spider-Woman was actually the first major Spider-Man spin-off character. Much like the creation of She-Hulk, Spider-Woman was pretty much created to put a stranglehold on trademark rights.

Seriously, nothing about how it would be cool if there was a female Spider-Man or maybe a gimmick to try to attract more female readers, but rights, rights, rights!

Here's what Stan Lee said shortly after Spider-Woman debuted:

"I suddenly realized that some other company may quickly put out a book like that and claim they have the right to use the name, and I thought we'd better do it real fast to copyright the name. So we just batted one quickly, and that's exactly what happened."

Basically, Spider-Woman was suppose to be a one-off character simply to establish trademark, but we all know that didn't happen. Because this issue sold well and shocked those at Marvel, Marv Wolfman was asked to continue with the character.

Created by Archie Goodwin and Marie Severin, Spider-Woman's debut did also tell of her origin of how she became Spider-Woman as shown in the panels below:





However, near the end of the issue, details of her origin get even more whacked out. Apparently, High Evolutionary made her evolve from a Spider into a female human with spider-like powers.



Say what? No more acid for Archie and hail Hydra!
 

CGC Census back in March, 2017
CGC Census December 6th, 2017

Looks like the CGC Census grew a bit in the last few months, eh?


Apparently, Marv Wolfman would agree about no more drugs for Archie. This origin would be retconned by Marv Wolfman pretty soon after, and he would give her the name Jessica Drew and lose the Arachne name used in her earliest appearances.

Oh, and no Spider-Woman that evolved from an actual arachnid, but that would happen in a later Spider-Woman key issue. Marvel Spotlight #32 has the cover date of February, 1977.










MARVEL TWO-IN-ONE #30
2nd full appearance of Spider-Woman

Before Spider-Woman was Jessica Drew, she was named Arachne who evolved from a spider into a human as presented in Archie Goodwin's original origin for the character. The Marvel Two-In-One appearances that Spider-Woman made did not quite change this but would lead up to it.

So, Spider-Woman would still think her 1st origin presented in Marvel Spotlight #32 is true until her last appearance in this titled series with Marvel Two-In-One #33. I will explain how that happens further a long in Part 5 of this beast, but it does have to do with Mordred the Mystic.

Spider-Woman did appear in a cameo on the last page of Marvel Two-In-One #29, but this is considered her 2nd full appearance. Either this one is over-looked or the market doesn't really care much for this 2nd full appearance just yet.



Below is not the current snapshot of the census. Total submission increased to 57 since.  There are now 17 CGC 9.6s and fifteen 9.4s. CGC 9.8s remain at 13 at the time of this writing.



Marvel Two-In-One #30 does have the 35 cent price variant, and like the 30 cent price variants, only a small distribution of markets were tested to see if people would pay for the extra 5 cents. If you're hunting Spider-Woman keys, which I do recommend, these 35 cent ones may still be a bit more affordable as opposed to others that are on the radar of most collectors.
Not all that hard to spot, and the regular covers are 30 cents in case you're super new to collecting. Most Spider-Woman keys are over-looked but it's only a matter of time before Spider-Woman and more female superhero key comics see an influx of demand and interest.

For the 35 cent variants, these low distribution markets included:

  • Alabama: Tuscaloosa area
  • North Carolina: Wilmington area
  • Ohio: Toledo area
  • Tennessee: Memphis
  • Texas: possible San Antonio area

Looks like Spider-Woman #1 is slightly more on the radar than this comic here. Both are still pretty cheap even in CGC 9.8 grades for the regular 30 cent copies. Dunno about the 35 cent variants. Note: Wrote this earlier in the year and may be a different story now.


Okay, Marvel Whitman variants do exist for this issue. They are known as early direct market comics or direct market sales currently, and quite a few did come in 3 pack sets.

Here's an image of how they look and they do have a diamond with a UPC box. You can click the image for a bigger one. Some Marvel Whitmans would later have a diamond in the upper corner box on the cover and a completely blank UPC.

Could be one to consider if you're a Spider-Woman fan. Marvel Two-In-One #30 has the month of August that marks the cover and came out in 1977.









SPIDER-WOMAN #1
1st issue to 1st on-going self-titled series 
New (true) origin of Spider-Woman
1st appearance of Jerry Hunt
Jessica Drew name revealed


The issue where Jessica Drew becomes Jessica Drew. Before this, Spider-Woman made her earlier appearances in Marvel Two-In-One. In her last appearance in that titled series before this comic, the wizard Modred the Mystic unlocks her real memories.

However, these unlocked memories are not exactly shown in Marvel Two-In-One #33, but they are shown in this issue. Therefore, this issue has the retconned origin of Spider-Woman and this is considered the real or accepted origin for the character.

So instead of being evolved from a Spider to a human female, Spider-Woman was born a human female and her name is actually Jessica Drew. Her real name is revealed in this issue. Below is the real origin of Spider-Woman.






Apparently, the High Evolutionary is connected to Spider-Woman, and he is her pop's friend and scientific colleague that helped to cure her.

Obviously and because of this retcon, this issue is the first time Spider-Woman is named Jessica Drew. May not be a 1st or even 2nd, 3rd or 4th appearance of Spider-Woman, but it is pretty important.


NOTE: This CGC Census snap shot is not current!

Since speculation went into high gear when Sony announced all the Spider-Man spin-off movies prior to Amazing Spider-Man 2's release, this comic did see quite a bit of heat. I'm not surprised the CGC Census is a bit hefty. Damn, 575 9.8s already with only 2 restored copies though.

That's some pretty crazy numbers. Jessica Drew starts here, and Arachne ends here as well.

Jerry Hunt is a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent who ends up becoming a romantic interest for Jessica Drew. He is an early main supporting character for Spider-Woman and in this comic series.

Spider Woman #1 is the first issue to her self-titled and on-going that sees her new origin and the cover date of April, 1978.








SPIDER-WOMAN #2
1st appearance of Charles Magnus 

When it comes to Jessica Drew Spider-Woman and that character on the big screen, I really don't know from what comics will they even base them off of or if they'll just write a whole different mythos for the cinema. Humor me here.

So Charles Magnus makes his debut in this issue and the character is a main supporting character for the Spider-Woman comic series. He is a mentor and tutors Jessica Drew as Spider-Woman.

However, we get into some medieval sorcery here with Charles Magnus since the character was an apprentice to Morgan le Fey after being rejected by Merlin. Yeah, so we get into some King Arthur shit in the Spider-Woman comics.

First Hydra, now King Arthur, Merlin and Morgan le Fey. How this would all fit into the current Spidey universe is beyond me.


So if we're talking about possible movie hype, this probably isn't a great debut to consider. If we're talking about actual comics in the Jessica Drew mythos, Charles Magnus is tied to Jessica Drew and did possess Jessica's father Jonathan Drew at a point in time to convince John's partner, Herbert Edgar Wyndham, to train his New Men against the coming of Chthon.

Okay, if you're lost, Herbert Wyndham is the High Evolutionary. Before he became that, his scientific partner was Jessica Drew's pops, Johnathan Drew, in which both worked on genetics and cell regeneration.

Anyway, after that, Magnus left John's body and possessed others until he met a Jessica Drew years later in this very issue.







SPIDER-WOMAN #10
1st appearance of Gypsy Moth

Hey, you know how I love my Marvel mutants. Not a very well-known character in the world of Spider-Man, Spider-Woman, or the X-Men, but Gypsy Moth is a mutant that makes her debut here.

Her real name is Sybil Dvorak and she is a Romanian baddie with the powers of Psychokinesis. You know, like some Stephen King Carrie psychokinesis or telekinesis, and she has been a Masters of Evil member as well as a Thunderbolts member.

So she's been around and was created by Mark Gruenwald and Carmine Infantino.

Pretty minor key but Sybil Dvorak definitely has more appearances in Marvel Comics than Charles Magnus and Jerry Hunt. Spider-Woman #10 has the cover date of January, 1979.






SPIDER-WOMAN #14
1st appearance of Lindsay McCabe

Another addition to the supporting cast of Jessica Drew is her best-friend Lindsay McCabe. Hey, who says that super-heroines don't need besties?

Sure, they do and Lindsay is a character that was a main recurring character in the Spider-Woman comics and also appeared quite often outside of this series. Yep, she did appear in some Wolverine and X-Men comics also.

Don't get me wrong here: She's still a very minor character over-all in the Marvel Comics universe. She has been around for sure and even got Julia Carpenter to help rescue her buddy Jessica at one point.

Even if the character is in a TV show or movie in the future, Spider-Woman #14 is still a very minor debut. I don't see that really changing in the near or even far future.

Spider-Woman #14 has the cover date of May, 1979.






SPIDER-WOMAN #20
1st meeting of Spider-Man & Spider-Woman


Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later but a bit surprised it took a little over 2 years. Spidey finally meets the female version of his character in this action-packed issue of Spider-Woman #20 and the cover even boldly states so.

So the two actually first meet when Peter Parker is in his civilian identity. Thinking she's a crook, Peter changes into Spider-Man and pursues until Spider-Woman finally meets Spider-Man. 



It's established that the pair don't know who the other are, and they do have very brief skirmishes here and there in the issue. Not really what I'd call a battle.

I doubt this is a well-known issue. Overstreet just notes this issue as a Spider-Man appearance.

Although Spidey does show up again in Spider-Woman #28 and #29, the creatives then didn't really see fit to establish a closer relationship between the two. I think they actually meet again for the 2nd time in issue #29 of the Spider-Woman comic series.

 
Spider-Woman did appear in a story in Marvel Team-Up #97, but that is one of the few issues that did not have Spidey in it. She teams up with the Hulk in that comic.

To make a long story short, Spider-Woman does not have many appearances with Spider-Man in the beginning.
Word is that Wolfman did deliberately avoid Spidey guest appearances and cross-overs.

She is killed off in issue #50 due to the series being cancelled because of poor sales. Despite the attempts to limit her interactions with Spider-Man, comic fans already saw her as a female Spider-Man anyhow. Would be the same deal for She-Hulk as well.


Fans were outraged by her death and Ann Nocenti and Mark Gruenwald would feel remorse about the decision. Spider-Woman would be revived in Avengers #240 and #241 but would be limited to guest appearances here and there. Jessica Drew even became a non-superhero supporting character for quite a while.



Popularity for the character would be revived in 2005 when the character reappeared in costume again as a member of the New Avengers. This comic is definitely an over-looked moment for both Spider-Man and Spider-Woman by fans of either and most likely still a cheap buy.

Fun issue for sure! Spider-Woman #20 and the first meeting between the wall-crawlers is cover-dated November, 1979.









Let's fill in some gaps here. So Marvel Two-In-One #29 does have a cameo of Spider-Woman in it on the last page. Up to you, but you can say it's the 2nd cameo of Spider-Woman.

Remember, that this was retconned out, and that Vermis

Other than that, not much else going for that issue. Like issue #30, Marvel Two-In-One #29 does have a 35 cent price variant.



Newsstand

Marvel Whitman


35 Cent Price Variant


Aside from the 35 cent price variants, there's also the Whitman diamond variants for that issue also. I shall throw in an example image for ya, courtesy of the very cool and informative site known as BIP Comics.

There's evidence that comics with the covers that had diamonds and the UPC barcodes were sold in 3 packs distributed by Whitman or Western Publishing. The example image below is from www.bipcomics.com, and I do believe it's not the first time I mentioned that site. Regardless, good info on the subject of late 70s direct market comics.


If you enlarge the image, you can see that there is a UPC barcode underneath the packaging.

There's also evidence that these 3 packs containing such comics were also distributed by other companies besides Whitman. Regardless, they are currently being referred to as Marvel Whitmans, and there are variations that have a completely blank UPC as well.

Considered early direct sales editions, some of these are pretty hard finds currently. They do exist out there and are most likely scarcer finds, at least compared to newsstands which was the dominate method of circulation at the time.


Okay, I mentioned Marvel Two-In-One #33 and how Mordred the Mystic supposedly reveals to Jessica that she is not a spider that mutated into a human but a human that was mutated. Not sure which is better or more flattering.

Well, he reveals to her the truth off-panel and in-between MTIO #33 and Spider-Woman #1. Here's the end panel to Marvel Two-In-One #33.

End panel of Marvel Two-In-One #33


So what Mordred reveals isn't revealed to the reader until issue #1 of Spider-Woman, which makes issue #1 to her first headlining and on-going comic series the real origin of Spider-Woman and her first appearance as Jessica Drew. Pretty over-looked Spider-Woman key.

One I would definitely consider along with her debut in Marvel Spotlight #32. Although part one is done we are not done with this Spider-Woman comics series.

After all, there are others who have taken up the mantle of Spider-Woman. Part 2 is on it's way. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

Runaways Key Issues & 1st Appearances Part 2


To be perfectly honest with you guys, some of the keys in Part 2 of this is actually swiped from the Key Issue Comic Investments Still Under $100 Part 3 done back in 2016. I may add a bit to the listing's description but not much.

I've spread myself pretty thin and have a lot going on these days. Not to say that I won't be digging up useful knowledge about Runaways comics that should be snagged or not and giving you in-depth knowledge on some sleeper comics that might become hot and should become hot.

I'll still be doing what I've doing since this beast started without apology, care nor reservation. Okay, if you know nothing about these comics but are looking forward to the show and DO NOT LIKE SPOILERS, this article is not for you!

Click out this now, because the show is based on these comics and there WILL BE SPOILERS! With that said, you have been warned and onward to the goodness!






RUNAWAYS #1 VOLUME 2
1st appearance of Victor Mancha
1st appearance of Excelsior


Cutting and pasting this from the Key Issue Comic Investments Still Under $100 Part 3 series done a little over a year ago. These have still remained over-looked since then.

The Runaways main cast of characters in the 1st limited series would have other members join the team in comics. Yes, peeps do die in the series.

This is the volume 2 series of the Runaways, and Victor Mancha is one of the new characters introduced.

The dude is a cyborg that was created by Ultron himself, and he ends up joining the Runaways in a later issue, I believe it is issue #6. Team Excelsior also make their first appearance in this comic.

The team is Phil Ulrich, Turbo (Mickey Musashi from the New Warriors), Ricochet, Lightspeed, and Geoffrey Wilder. Yes, that Geoffrey Wilder, as in Alex Wider's pops.

He is a time displaced and younger version of Alex's father. He joined the team under the guise of Chamber. As already mentioned in Part 1, his real first appearance is in Runaways #1 2003 series.



Definitely over-looked currently and I have not seen any CGC or graded copies of this one at the time of this writing. Victor Mancha could possibly be introduced if in the show if Hulu decides to order a full season and it even goes to a 2nd season.

Either way, I see a version of the Excelsior team play out in the actual TV series. Most likely not the same one in this comic here but a version of it. 

Maybe not in season one or two, but definitely in the near future. Since Alex Wilder is dead, Nico Minuro becomes leader of the Runaways in the 2nd volume to their headlining comic series.

There is a sketch variant of this issue as well. Do not know how limited it is at the moment and could not find any info on that.

April, 2005 is the cover date for Runaways #1 volume 2.










RUNAWAYS #6 VOLUME 2
1st appearance of Lotus, Stretch, & Hunter
Origin of Victor Mancha
Victor Mancha joins Runaways


A door closes and a new one opens. The original Pride is dead, but this does not mean that a new incarnation of the Pride can be born from its ashes.

So Lotus, Stretch and Hunter make their first appearance in this issue as the new Pride. They are actually Alex's old online gaming buddies.

Hunter is a hacker who hacked into Alex's computer to find out what happened to Alex. He found out that Alex had died trying to help the Pride and gave instructions on how to bring him back if need be.

Hunter recruited his friends Oscar, Stretch and Lotus and went to the Minuro's summer retreat to perform the retrieval ritual or spell. This ended up killing Oscar and bringing back a time displaced Geoffrey Wilder instead.

Of course, being the cunning man that he is, Geoffrey made Hunter and his friends the "New Pride" but was tricking them in the end or so it was eventually revealed. Is that it to this key issue? Anymore key issue goodness?

Yep, this issue not only sees Victor Mancha finally join the Runaways, but also reveals his origin. Can anyone say an Ultron connection here?
 








I'm pretty sure that if Victor Mancha is eventually worked into the Runaways Hulu show, they'll probably tweak the origin so there isn't an Ultron connection. It would be super cool if they kept that in, though.

Highly doubt it, but just saying is all. Cool stuff and September, 2005 is the cover date for Runaways #6 volume 2.







RUNAWAYS #7 VOLUME 2
1st appearance of Xavin

The character of Xavin also makes /his/her first appearance in the 2005 or volume 2 comic series and joins the Runaways. The character is a Super-Skrull and first appeared as a male.
 
Xavin would change his gender to female often after discovering that Karolina Dean is a lesbian, but Xavin would switch back and forth among the team. The character was a prominent member of the Runaways for  a while, but his current where about is unknown. 

No telling about this character's possibility of being on the show since Agents of Shield already has the Skrull thing going on, but since the CW and CBS did the whole Supergirl/Flash crossover, I think Marvel TV just might be allowed to do the same. Not sure though, but I do think this character may very well be seen in a later season.

Over-looked as well as the news that Hulu ordered a Runaways pilot is still pretty recent (note: old writing and info with that sentence). High grade copies most likely are still pretty cheap and under the $100 mark. Not sure about CGC or graded copies since I've yet to find any online.

Runaways #7 volume 2 has the cover date of October, 2005.







RUNAWAYS #17
Karolina rejoins team
Xavin joins team


Despite Xavin debuting prior to this issue, the Skrull does not join the team until this issue. In fact, in his first two appearances in issue #7 and #8, Xavin came to Earth in order to marry Karolina. 

Apparently, her parents arranged some kind of arranged marriage between the two. There also seems to be a lot of bad blood between those two alien species as well.

This issue reveals that Xavin is the son of a prince that led an invasion of Earth and was stopped by Karolina Dean's parents. They betrayed their own people and gave Xavin's father the coordinates to the Majesdan home planet.

Apparently, the Deans had been exiled from Majesdan due to criminal activities there. The Deans offered their only child's hand in marriage to Xavin but expected that the Skrulls from Tarnax VII and Majesdan would annihilate each other.

Xavin was there to hopefully wed Karolina and help build a bridge between the two races that were on the brink of destroying each other. This is all revealed in issue #8 of the second Runaways comic series.

In issue #8, she does end up leaving to her home world. However, and as this issue reveals, it did not work, and they did not become betrothed. However, they remained lovers and returned to Earth.

In this issue, Karolina rejoins the team and Xavin joins the Runaways. Major key? Most likely not but worth mentioning as Xavin does become a prominent member of the team for a while.

Runaways #17 from the 2005 series has the cover date of August, 2006.






RUNAWAYS #18
Death of Gert
Chase is bonded to Old Lace
Chase & Old Lace leaves team
New Pride disbands

As most of you know, I'm usually not that into deaths of comic characters. Usually, they end up coming back and the whole stakes or death is lessened and becomes unimportant.

However, in the case of Gertrude, her death is important as it adds to the mythos of Chase Stein who is empathetically and telepathically bonded to Old Lace. This does change the whole dynamic in more ways than one.

Saddened by Gert's death, Chase and Old Lace do leave the team for awhile. On the baddie side of things, Geoffrey is caught being deceptive to the New Pride and they disband after he is defeated and sent back to his original time.

Perhaps not a major key, but important issue for both Chase Stein and Old Lace. September, 2006 is the cover date of Runaways #18 volume 2 or the 2005 series.





RUNAWAYS #27 VOLUME 2
1st appearance of Klara Prast

Plant manipulator, Klara Prast is from the past when the Runaways were displaced in time. She was working in a sweat shop in New York City.
Married young, as was permitted at the time in the early 1900s, her husband was abusive. After seeing this, Molly Hayes invited her to join the team, and the two become fast friends as they are roughly the same age and a mutant as well.

She would leave the team after a beating from her husband, but would eventually rejoin and travel to the present with the Runaways. As a result of the time period she is originally from, she has difficulty in accepting Karolina and Xavin's lesbian relationship due to her conservative upbringing.

While Molly has become close to Xavin, Klara has not. Her first appearance is another highly over-looked key comic. No graded copies as of yet, so high grade raw might be the way to go.

If this character is introduced, I'm thinking it may be in a later season or episode if there is one or the other. August, 2007 is the cover date for Runaways #27 volume 2, and the estimated print run is around 41,239. 








MYSTIC ARCANA: SISTER GRIMM #1
1st headlining Nico Minoru comic
1st solo story


Did I mention that Nico Minoru was the only member of Marvels the Runaways to get a self-titled one-shot in a limited comic series? Well, at least, at the time of this writing so far. 

I believe my man, Kevin Erickson, brought this comic to my attention, and the limited series lasted only 4 issues. I should say one-shots to be factual and more on par.

Like I mentioned earlier, Kevin believes Nico is going to be a break out character, and I have to agree that she has a very good chance. The Hulu show is going to give these characters and these comics a lot more exposure.

The comic series is great, and if the show follows much of the actual comics, I think it'll be great as well. I am now super excited for it, but back to this comic.

As for the Mystic Arcana titled series, it is a four issue limited series that each had a one-shot story for a certain magical-based character or character whose mythos was deeply magic rooted.  First one-shot was Magik, and the second was Black Knight. The third was Scarlet Witch and you know what the fourth one-shot is.

This comic ties the Minoru family to the Black Mirror (debut in Doctor Strange #42 volume 2) and there is a connection to the Darkhold as well. Yep, the Darkhold again, and January, 2008 is the cover date to Mystic Arcana: Sister Grimm.




---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


After reading series one and two, I am a definite fan of this comic series. It's pretty hilarious and in a very good and clever way.

I surely hope that the actual Hulu series picks up on the humor, but a lot of the humor in the comics is entrenched in the world of Marvel superheroes like when Wolverine first meets Molly Hayes in issue #12. In short, the Runaways is one of the best comic book series I've read in long time.

So, I'm a fan now. I hope the show is just as good if not better, and for the record, there is more interest in the show as opposed to other Marvel shows.


How do I know that? I'll get to that in another post  soon enough.

Some other honorable mentions? Yes, of course, but let's begin with issue #1 of the volume 3 series.

This issue debuts the Light Brigade, and they are an elite Majesdane Military group who came to Earth to get Karolina Dean. She was to pay for her father and mother's crimes against Majesdane.

Conflict? You bet. The Runaways would not let that happen without putting up a fight for their friend.

So, the main Light Brigade in this comic series are General vaDrann, Lieutenant vRikk, and deHalle. If these guys show up, it would make the show quite interesting. I'm betting this story line will play out somewhere, but as villains for the Runaways, they are currently pretty minor.


Issue #6 is another turning point of sorts. Xavin realizes that resistance against the Light Brigade is futile. Out of love, he/she ends up impersonating Karolina Dean and is taken away to pay for her father's crimes.

So he leaves the team in issue #6 and it's revealed that he sacrificed himself for Karolina. It is not known what happened to Xavin after.

I smell a mini-series explaining that if Marvel should ever decide to knock out one if the Hulu series is a hit. At least, this inquiring mind wants to know.


Runaways #11 volume 3 sees the death of Old Lace. Say what? 

Yeah, I know. That bummed me out after reading that issue as well.

Issue #11 also sees the first appearance of Chase's uncle, Hunter Stein. Minor character for sure.

Viola! As requested, here's what I've uncovered when it comes to the Runaways, and there is more to just issue #1 as villains and some members die and others are introduced. 

I'm predicting this Runaways Hulu series is gonna be a big hit and these comics are going to see increased interest. #1 has pretty low distribution and just might sky rocket (it's lower than NYX #3). Actually many Runaways comics don't have high print runs, including volume 2, and are highly likely to have low distribution as well. 

We shall see! Can't wait for this series to hit Hulu. Damn, Punisher and Runaways
