Amazing Spider-Man #300 proves that a long-running title can keep generating top collectible keys with the first appearance of Venom (after the previous issue's cameo). This vital issue also answers the big question of what happens when you pair a disgraced suicidal journalist with a vengeful homicidal alien. A bitter Eddie Brock discovers that merging with the alien symbiote is a real recipe for disaster. The good news is that Marvel whipped up one of the biggest debuts of this ongoing Modern Age for this milestone 300th issue, as Venom emerges via Amazing Spider-Man scribe David Michelinie and writer/artist Todd McFarlane.

Venom, of course, will become a beloved anti-hero while also proving to be one of Spidey's greatest threats. The character has enjoyed a huge amount of success outside of Amazing Spider-Man, appearing in numerous solo books and virtually every TV show or video game related to Spider-Man. Venom also easily became the most popular movie character in Sony's attempt to make movies set in a Spider-Man Universe without Spider-Man. After becoming the sole Sony villain to get his own trilogy of films, Venom has now been established as part of the Marvel Studios series of Spider-Man films. That has fans eagerly anticipating a rebooting of Venom, as the alien's earliest appearances remain hot collectibles.
_______________________________________________

Amazing Spider-Man #300 was already a hot book in 1988, and this gorgeous 9.8 copy was carefully preserved while the rise of Venom became one of the biggest events in '80s comics. In addition to getting all the hallmarks of an NM/M copy, though, there's the added appeal of an issue that's been signed by the creative team of Todd McFarlane and David Michelinie — plus a Stan Lee signature with a custom CGC banner. This is one wild collectible that's truly gilded the lily of an impossibly popular premiere issue!
