Description

A grail page for me. Coming from one of the first comics I picked up off the news stands. The Black costume was a huge deal when it first appeared and I am more than excited to have this fun example from Frenz's run.

I don't care what era any Spidey page is a worthy addition. I was getting started at the beginning of the black costume and while I prefer the red & blue, it has a nostalgic pull. But for me this is a GREAT Puma page! And great action to boot! Bravo!

Early black costume action. Definitely exciting time in Spidey history !

This is a really great page! Loved this storyline, and Puma's reaction to the symbiote was so mysterious at the time! He definitely realized something Parker had yet to grasp! Congrats on landing a page from one of your first books, and thanks for sharing!

Woah!!! This was the run of Spidey that made me a life-like fan! As a kid, I would race to my local store for the latest Spidey issue to read about the black costume and Hobgoblin saga! Truly a fantastic page!

Wow, this is an EXTRAORDINARY battle page! Love these early black costume issues, where Spidey was still learning the advantages of the costume, before eventually realizing how dangerous it actually was. And I am a HUGE Puma fan. Great grail grab!

Crazy all the people coming out of the woodwork to comment on this one... I thought I was the only guy who loved those Puma issues!

Great get, DF - I was bidding myself for a bit! For many of us this was PRIME Spider-man time and 257, for me personally, is a big part of that. This one really does have it all. Sincere congrats!

You have so many wonderful pages, but this is truly amazing!
Ron Frenz in those years was a worthy heir to Steve Ditko.

All it takes is one letter removed  from your for sale or not area of the description to make this collector happy. From 'Forget about it!' to 'Forgot about it!' You can bring the 'porno' Superman cover and a few other pieces of similar quality ,like this, over to Ireland for a holiday in a portfolio and when you go back, you can forget about it!
