Is that real?
Sure is...there were morons out there paying upwards of $100 PER COPY for this issue of Spider-Man within a few days of its release. Marvel reprinted the crap out of this issue, and made a fortune. Fans? Screwed again by their own stupidity, as eBay clearly indicates...you can't GIVE these away now. (Just saw an ad elsewhere offering the hardcover collection of this crap at 75% OFF cover price. No takers, natch...)
Like I said, I've been buying comics and Previews since the early 1990s, and I have NEVER seen such lickspittle laudatory overexposure of a living "celebrity" in all those years, before BHO.
This crap leveled off dramatically in March 2010, and since then there have been a few issues of Previews in which there was either no BHO stuff, or I overlooked it-but you sure couldn't overlook the BHO cranked out immediately after 11/2008.
