Owner's Description
Newsstand 9.8 1st full appearance of "Cardiac" (Elias Wirtham) 1st Cletus Kasady (Carnage!) I got this off the boards from boardie "SHAGS13". I even gave him a raw VF- ASM #298 for $20 off this slab, end result $145! Awesome, because I don't often see a Newsstand of this issue! If you can find it in high grade, it may be worth the funds; although, I have a harder time speculating. I have had the correct timing in some cases. At the time coming off McFarlane, the art was in a bit of transition, and it took some type of assurance that quality wouldn't go down before people would buy. Steady art and plot built that assurance, mostly by Bagley after the McFarlane run. Bagley could do no wrong, imo, and bolstered my anticipation. This Erik Larson and Randy Emberlin was a bit jolty in the transition. Seems at the time I thought they might be trying to correct Spidey a bit to pre-McFarlane days. I realize that could be subjective, it has a decent flow in a way, in my opinion. All of the above made out alright, and still, these are collectable comics nearly 30 to 40 years later!
Complete with Erik Larsons try at the Punisher and Spidey as a back cover picture. Issue #330 given to me as an "extra" in the board raffle January 2023 by Motor City Rob the boardie. Leading up to this issue of #344 Larson had his irons in the fire with several other properties but was in between Bagley and McFarlane for comparison! Just to get a feel for the books that became interwoven for story and detail!
