Superman vs. the Amazing Spider-Man ?

[Red Oak Kid]

How many reprints are there of the first DC Marvel crossover Superman vs. the Amazing Spider-man tabloid from the 70s?

I'd like to find an inexpensive reprint of this story.

I see that there is a TPB which reprints it along with other crossovers.

I seem to recall seeing a regular size comic book series that reprinted all of the DC Marvel crossover stories.

But I can't seem to find this series on the GCD or at MileHigh comics. Probably because I don't know the exact wording of the title.

Thanks for your help.

I do remember seeing the series to which you refer. I think this is it.

DC & Marvel
CROSSOVER CLASSICS COLLECTOR'S SET
Packaged set one includes:
SUPERMAN VS. THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #nn (1995)
BATMAN VS. THE INCREDIBLE HULK #nn (1995)
Packaged set two includes:
THE UNCANNY X-MEN AND THE NEW TEEN TITANS #nn (1995)
SUPERMAN AND SPIDER-MAN #nn (1995)

Mile High's site doesn't offer a cover scan, which might confirm whether they are selling both issues from Set One as Issue 1.

Hopefully, it would mean Set One, but I reckon an e-mail inquiry would be the best way to go. :)

By the way, regarding the TPB, Mile High seems to be selling the first printing.

It appears there is a later printing, with a white cover and the addition of "Volume One" at the top of it, pictured at Amazon.

I mention this in case you hadn't seen the difference between them, yet.


Regarding the actual tabloid from the seventies, I remember that Heroes World used to sell copies of it autographed by Stan Lee and Carmine Infantino. Looking at The Price Guide right now, I see those copies of the tabloid were from a second printing.

Spider-Man and Superman, eh? The first one was good with Ross Andru art. But I'll always have a soft spot for the second one -- was it really the first and last time John Buscema did Superman? And it was no disappointment.

It would've been great to see a run of Superman by Mr. Buscema. In fact, it would've been interesting to see him do the JLA ...

(I *think* Mr. Buscema did Stan Lee's Superman, but that doesn't really count!)
