this one? https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/giant-size-super-heroes/1/tcpy

using the right title to search helps. it's called Giant-Size Super-Heroes #1. the STORY is "featuring Spider-Man", but Spider-Man is not part of the title. Always try fewer keywords before posting. Using just Giant Size comes up with it well down the list. This book is commonly asked about as people don't use the correct title. Same with Giant-Size Super-Stars with the Fantastic Four.

And note to CPG guide programmers--the book does NOT come up when you use 'Giant Size' without the hyphen, plus 'starts with'--are you kiddin' me? All the Giant Sizes, hyphenated or not, seem to come up when you use 'all words' and no hyphen tho, but they should with 'starts with' too. Same with Spider Man and Spider-Man and no doubt many others. SOME come up using either way, but many don't. Would rather get more matches to go thru if it recognized both ways on either spelling the first time, vs not finding something because you can't believe you need to use a hyphen to get the right/all titles, and having to do multiple searches. Can't believe this hasn't been addressed years ago.

and please cross index Giant-Size Spider-Man and The Punisher #4, 1975, so it shows in the results for Giant-Size too. https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/amazing-spider-man-the/4_giant%20size/popwo . Overstreet used to list it under the Giant-Size titles, and that's what it says on the cover, not "AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, THE #4 Giant Size", and comics.org and mycomicshop and most places call it Giant-Size Spider-Man #4 cuz it's #4 in the SERIES of 6 Giant Size Spider-Mans. Don't care what the indicia calls it, common sense says to cross-index it so it matches the technical indicia title and the cover title that everyone uses to look for it. Right? saves the newbies from having to post again and again about it. Thanks.

Spider Man comes up without the hyphen. Super heroes does not come up without the hyphen. Curious-er and curious-er.
