Our comics, manga, and books are standard retail items and—unless otherwise expressly stated for a specific item—are not sold as flawless collector’s items or graded copies.
All items from our online store are also part of our in-store selection. They are typically displayed unboxed on the shelves so that our customers can view and browse through them. If there are multiple copies of a title available, some of them may still be in their original packaging or shrink-wrapped.
Comics and books, in particular, sometimes arrive with minor signs of wear resulting from production, shipping, or storage—such as fine scratches, creases, or slight visual imperfections. Unfortunately, we have no control over this. Over time, additional minor wear may also occur due to display in the store.
If you place particular importance on the item being in the best possible condition or in its original packaging, please contact us before placing your order. We’ll be happy to take a closer look at the item you’re interested in and can send you photos in advance if needed.
Of course, statutory warranty rights remain unaffected by this.
A classic tale of terror and intrigue, introducing a villain equipped with an astonishingly versatile exoskeleton and a brilliant mind. In the original English version, the pointy-eared crook was called “The Spider—King of Cooks”; in KOBRA, he carried out his raids as “Spiderman”; now he’s making a comeback as “Spinne—King of Crime.” To truly become the “King of Crime,” the brilliant mastermind assembles a gang of criminals—including specialists such as Professor Pelham, a brilliant scientist with no morals, and Roy Ordini, a genius safe-cracker—and begins his rise to the top of the criminal world!
For the first time, this collection brings together the earliest adventures of the devious master criminal. Created by Ted Cowan and Reg Bunn, Spider was the antithesis of an era full of colorful superheroes—an antihero who could hardly be more villainous or fascinating. Some of the stories were originally published in KOBRA, but they have never before appeared in this collected form and have been newly translated. The collection also includes articles about the publications and the character.
