Peter Parker the Spectacular Spider-Man Issue 21 - The Scorpion - Finder's Fee 2 2

[grapeape]

Thank you and again congratulations. Putting a book together is near impossible.However it's the during your journey, not necessarily the final outcome that you can decide how to experience this quest. You seem to have a good head on your shoulders.I truly hope you get every page. If I find a Spec 21 page I'll direct you to it (and no finder's fee necessary) although offering that fee goes to show how determined you are to get this done.Bravo! Enjoy the victory.

Thanks. I should have it in hand within 10 days, which will feel great.

Now to try and locate other pages, which is proving to be very difficult.

At this point, I have zero leads

in case some new eyeballs see this thread for the 1st time.

I've kept my eyes peeled all these years.  Alas, nothing.  Will definitely let you know if I find anything.  That book holds a soft spot in my heart as I remember it was one of the first back issues I ever bought.  I remember my parents buying it for me at some podunk flea market in bum-eff PA circa 1986-87 for the princely sum of $1.  

Rooting for you on this quest, for sure.  Near impossible to put together a complete book (although I've owned 3 complete books, including covers...total luck).

Thank you very much. I really appreciate your effort. I have found all 5 pages with help from boardies, which shows how great this community is.

I realize that this will be near impossible but that’s the fun part of collecting - having a long term goal and sticking to it, whether or not I get there is only part of the fun.

Too true. There are a few books that I am constantly on the lookout for. Once a book has been out for 5-10 years, tracking art can be hard. Once you jump 30-40 years..... each page found is like a gold find.

Love it... the thirst continues!

Can't recall, was this your first comic?

The thirst is right - all dry on the leads part to locating another page.

Not the 1st book - that would be Godzilla 2 -  but one that really captivated me as a child.

Been a while since I bumped this.

Zero leads on the cover or any other pages.

IF I ever find the cover, I’m sure it will cost a small fortune and it will force me to make some big decisions regarding my comics in order to finance it.

Def worth it sometimes... sold probably 1/4 of my higher-end comics to fund a Frazetta OA pickup.

Thankfully the cover OA to my first comic purchase as a kid cost a fraction of that.  Moon Knight rather than Jim Lee X-Men, phew.   GL !

I would probably do that if I would ever get so lucky to find the cover.

With nothing but lots of free time on my hands I figure it's a good time to bump this page.

Hope everyone is staying home and following the guidelines!
