Spider-man/doctor Octopus: Year One Every kid thinks he's different. Some of them are. Once he was Otto Octavius- a brilliant but introverted young scientist who built a set of highly advanced robotic arms to help him further the field of atomic research. But a freak laboratory accident grafted the mechanical tentacles to his body and altered Octavius' mind: abandoning his scientific dreams, he turned instead to a life of crime! Now, peer behind the curtain to witness the birth of a mad genius! Featuring Doctor Octopus' first encounters with both Peter Parker and Spider-Man, the first appearance of Doc Ock's arms and the true inspiration that led him to build his remarkable appendages - which may have come from a certain web-slinging wall-crawler! It's the beginning of an amazing, superior rivalry for the ages!

GRADE/CONDITION
We strive to provide the best possible product to our customers. However, all copies are only guaranteed nm- 9.2 or higher. A NM- 9.2 is categorized as a nearly perfect copy that looks brand new with only a few very minor defects. Acceptable minor defects on a NM copy include: a very small amount of spine stresses, very minor instances of denting (two or three at most), slight corner blunting, and minor (less than 1/8") bends without color breaks. We cannot guarantee 9.8 copies. In some cases it is possible for a comic shipped brand new from the publisher to already be in less than near mint condition due to the way the comic was produced, shipped, stored, or handled prior to purchase. This does not include copies of age.
