Owner's Description

According to the CGC Census Report as of Tuesday, August 22, 2023, out of a total of 1,032 Universal copies graded, 587 copies were graded in 9.8 with 0 copies graded higher!
With these statistics in mind, this represents a rarity factor of 56.88% of the total population.
___________________________________________________________
VENOM ATTACKS! In February of 1993, artists Mark Bagley & Randy Emberlin created one of my favorite early Venom covers within the Amazing Spider-Man title!
Standing front and center is a raging Venom holding both Richard and Mary Parker captive with his ejected tentacles wrapped tightly around their fragile bodies! With his elongated jaw and razor sharp fangs wide open coupled with his huge clinched fists and shredded muscular physique, and with a cautious Spider-Man crouched on the ground from behind, we are witness to the dominant force of the V-Man—one of Spider-Man’s greatest rogues of all-time!
Furthermore, Venom’s evolution from villain to antihero has taken deep roots amongst avid readers, which in turn, has increased Venom’s fan base throughout mainstream pop culture. With the success of Venom (2018) and the highly anticipated Venom: Let There Be Carnage, which is scheduled to premiere on October 15, 2021, demand for Venom’s earliest cover appearances will only continue to rise to new heights!
Although ASM #374 is far from being rare, as there are more 9.8 copies on the CGC Census than all of the other grades combined, this particular 9.8 copy is exceptional because it is PERFECTLY WRAPPED and CENTERED and contains PERFECT WHITE PAGES! In addition, the staple placement is superb, the book is perfectly cut and the color saturation is deep and bright!
In closing, I purchased this pristine beauty from makeanoffer4 (via eBay) in April of 2021! The transaction and communication went extremely well and I’m proud to showcase this immaculate copy in Arachnophobia!
Happy Collecting & Enjoy the Hunt!
