Lately, the fun in the Sunday comics hasn’t been in the strips, which are mostly mediocre, but with a comic-book that’s being inserted with the flyers. It features reprints of the earliest Spider-Man stories by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko.
Each comic is 16 pages total, the printing quality is excellent and, hey, they’re free! This nifty promotion is from SmartSource, the coupon distributor. To see a list of all the participating newspapers, click here.
This week’s issue starts “The Living Brain” story from Spider-Man #8. It has an order form like the one that’s online — $30 for the first 15 issues, plus $8 shipping! Five issues are $15 with $7 shipping! And there isn’t even online ordering.
Other than ordering via regular mail with a check or money order, I don’t know what to suggest. I missed a couple of the first five issues myself.
I have not seen the 15th or later editions of the free spider man distribution in the last 2 sunday papers of the New Jersey Star Ledger. Apparantly I feel that Smart Source is forcing us to order the reminder by paying them for 5 missed issues I have been collecting them religiously. Can you please advise as to where and how to obtain the free issues 15 + The Star Ledger dates were sunday Nov 26,2006 and Sunday Dec 2 2006 , The guy at the newstand was mad when I was flipping through all his papers looking for the free issues that were nowhere to be found
