The Amazing Spider-Man: The complete Federal Comics cover gallery


Here's a cover gallery of my complete run of Federal Comics' The Amazing Spider-Man:


The Amazing Spider-Man #2, c.June 1984 

The Amazing Spider-Man #3, c.September 1984 

The Amazing Spider-Man #4, c.November 1984 

The Amazing Spider-Man #5, c.January 1985 

The Amazing Spider-Man #6, c.March 1985 

The Amazing Spider-Man #7, c.June 1985 

The Amazing Spider-Man #8, c.July 1985 

The Amazing Spider-Man #9, c.October 1985 

The Amazing Spider-Man #10, c.December 1985 

The Amazing Spider-Man #11, c.February 1986 

The first issue in the series was Marvel Tales Starring Spider-Man #1.

The first four issues are 68 pages in black and white, and the rest are 32-page full colour issues. Most Federal series reverted to 68-page black and white issues for their final issues in 1986. It's a pity this series did not manage a twelfth or thirteenth issue.

I'm pretty sure the dates are accurate - certainly within a month, give or take.

This is the third series published in Australia to be titled The Amazing Spider-Man. I think this title launched Federal's Marvel line of comics, but I note that other series eg. The Incredible Hulk and The Mighty Thor were also launched May 1984.
