Any info on this Spidey would be appreciated

I know it's from 1969 and probably less than half the size of a "normal" comic. That's about it.

 

Does it have any value?

Amazing Spider-Man promotional mini-comic. This giveaway was originally included as bonus material with the second issue of Eye Magazine and was glued (*#$%!) to the front cover of the magazine. The full-color Amazing Spider-Man mini-comic seen here, "The Birth of a Hero!," (reprints Amazing Spider-Man #42 minus the subplots) is 20-pages, measures 6-3/4 inches x 4-3/4 inches,

 

Yours looks nicer than the one I have.

Thank you!!! I can see by the back of the book that it was glued on something.

 

I wonder if anyone had ever had one slabbed.

Peter (Gotham Kid) had a high grade copy slabbed, that he either sold or donated in a charity thread.

 

You can see the magazine with whom it came on the MyComicshop listing:

Very interesting, thanks.

I believe this comic has no value at all. Please send it to me and I will dispose of it properly.

 

Actually it took me a long time to find this little thing (not because I'm a picky collector but because I'm a miserly one!) It's not that common, especially if attached to the original magazine.

 

If you have a copy of #42 it's interesting to compare not only how they edited the plot but also squished together the artwork to make things fit (like the cover).

The MyComicshop copy seems to have the comic in pretty rough condition, while the magazine looks very nice. Might it be that it’s a re-assembled copy? Just guessing…

I actually did a side by side comparison, it was very interesting.

I believe your grade is safe as it relates to mine.

I bought that copy of Eye off the magazine stand, when it came out, just for the book and the article.

Pretty sure I ended up throwing away the mini book as I haven't seen it in quite a while
