Spidey Super Stories: The Yaffa editions

Yaffa published two digest-sized editions of Spidey Super Stories:


The first edition appears to have been published c.February 1982, and is marked No. 1, with a $0.70 cover price. 

The second edition is unnumbered with a $0.75 cover price. This appears to have been published c.August 1982.

These issues are a curious pairing. They are published with six months of one another and are both in the 'long' digest format. Typically, by mid-1982, the Marvel reprints by Yaffa were cover-priced $0.75 and had largely reverted to the 'short' digest-sized editions (although other 'tall' editions do exist from this period). I would like to find more conclusive data regarding the publication dates of these issues.

The issues contain identical contents and are fully indexed on AusReprints.
