Up for sale is an exceptionally scarce Amazing Spider-Man #12 & #13 Lee Bermejo 1:100 Virgin Incentive, published by Panini Italy in partnership with Marvel and limited to only 885 copies.
Importantly, this is an actual Italian-language edition, not simply an Italian-market variant containing the standard English-language comic.
This premium Italian edition features two Amazing Spider-Man issues in a single comic, ASM #12 AND #13, presented in Italian and wrapped in an outstanding Lee Bermejo Virgin cover with a premium soft-matte finish.
Even better, this copy is in excellent condition, particularly impressive for a soft-matte international edition that has made the journey from Italy to the United States. I conservatively estimate it at approximately NM+ to NM/M.
With a production run of only 885 copies, a 1:100 incentive designation, Italian-language interior, and Bermejo artwork, this is a seriously scarce international Spider-Man collectible.
🎨 LEE BERMEJO VIRGIN COVER – Bermejo's highly detailed, realistic artwork is given the full-cover treatment with no traditional front-cover trade dress interfering with the image.
💎 1:100 INCENTIVE – A premium incentive edition created for the collector market rather than a standard open-order cover.
🇮🇹 ACTUAL ITALIAN-LANGUAGE COMIC – This isn't simply an exclusive cover produced for Italy. The comic itself is in Italian, giving collectors a true international edition of Amazing Spider-Man.
🇮🇹 PANINI ITALY / MARVEL EDITION – Published by Panini Italy in partnership with Marvel.
🔥 LIMITED TO ONLY 885 COPIES – Fewer than 900 copies were produced. At just 885 copies, this is a very rare specialty edition.
📚 TWO ASM ISSUES IN ONE COMIC – This edition contains Amazing Spider-Man #12 AND Amazing Spider-Man #13, with both issues presented in Italian.
🖤 PREMIUM SOFT-MATTE COVER – Rather than a conventional glossy comic cover, this edition features a beautiful soft-matte finish that gives the book a distinctive premium feel and presentation.
🌟 NM+ TO NM/M CONDITION – This copy is in excellent condition and presents exceptionally well, especially considering the delicate matte surface and international distribution.
🕷️ TRUE INTERNATIONAL SPIDER-MAN COLLECTIBLE – An excellent addition for collectors pursuing Panini editions, foreign-language Marvel comics, Lee Bermejo covers, incentives, or difficult-to-find Spider-Man variants.
Lee Bermejo has one of the most immediately recognizable styles in modern comics.
His artwork combines meticulous detail, realistic anatomy, weathered textures, dramatic shadows, and cinematic depth, creating images with an almost painted quality.
The Virgin presentation is particularly effective with Bermejo's work. Removing the standard front-cover logos and trade dress allows the artwork to fill the entire cover and gives the book the appearance of a standalone art piece.
Combined with the unusual soft-matte cover stock, this edition has a very different look and feel from a conventional ASM variant.
One of the coolest features of this Panini Italy edition is what is actually inside.
Amazing Spider-Man #12
Amazing Spider-Man #13
Instead of simply reproducing a single U.S. issue, Panini combines two consecutive Amazing Spider-Man issues into one Italian-language edition.
That makes this an interesting collectible even beyond the Bermejo cover. You're getting a distinctly Italian Marvel release, not merely an alternate cover placed around the standard English-language comic.
For a character with a worldwide collector base as enormous as Spider-Man's, 885 copies is a remarkably small production run.
Add the 1:100 incentive status, Lee Bermejo Virgin artwork, premium soft-matte cover, Italian-language interior, Panini Italy distribution, and two-issue format, and this becomes the type of international Spider-Man edition that can be genuinely difficult to replace once it disappears into collections.
This comic is in excellent condition and presents exceptionally well.
I conservatively estimate the book at approximately NM+ to NM/M.
That condition is particularly impressive considering the premium soft-matte cover surface, which can be less forgiving of handling than a traditional glossy cover, and the fact that this international edition has traveled from Italy to the United States.
The overall presentation is extremely clean and attractive.
