Up for grabs is a beautiful, high-grade copy of Spider-Man #65 (1996) from Marvel Comics!


​This classic 90s issue marks Part 3 of 3 of the fan-favorite "Media Blizzard" storyline, featuring Ben Reilly fully established in his iconic tenure as the sensational Spider-Man. In this action-packed chapter titled "Unplugged," the wall-crawler tracks down the Master of Illusion himself, Mysterio, who is brainwashing the public via sinister television broadcasts.


​Brought to life by the legendary creative pairing of writer Howard Mackie and legendary penciler John Romita Jr. (signed JRJR + AW on the cover), this book is a pure hit of mid-90s nostalgia. As an awesome added bonus, the back cover features a vibrant full-page color movie poster advertisement for the 1996 cult comedy classic Bio-Dome starring Pauly Shore and Stephen Baldwin!
