Good Afternoon-

My apologies if this is a duplicate post.

I can't seem to locate SPIDER-MAN AND HULK WEEKLY comics from the UK.
(possibly other Marvel UK titles as well?)


These were around magazine size and made of newspaper print. Colors only on front and back cover with interior pages being black and white only.

A quick hop on the Google-Machine will result in many other Spidey-related UK titles regarding their MANY different title yet, keeping the "legacy" issue numbers ongoing.


Here's a blurb from COMICVINE.COM:

On May 22nd 1980 with #376 the former Spectacular Spider-Man Weekly absorbed its less successful sister title Incredible Hulk, and renamed itself Spider-Man and Hulk Weekly. Previous back-up strips were dropped in favour of beginning reprint runs of She-Hulk and Spider-Woman, so that the two title stars were appearing alongside their female counterparts.
The new title lasted until #417 on 4th March 1981; a week later Marvel Team-Up was merged into Spider-Man and Hulk Weekly, which renamed itself first Spider-Man and Hulk Weekly incorporating Team-Up and then just Spider-Man and Hulk Team-Up to reflect the new status quo.

1st Issue starts with #376 (below)

Thank you for your time,
Matt

I believe this is them.

You have to change the country code to UK. Also, it helps to also try searching with fewer/key words. I was able to find it by typing in Spider-man weekly.

Hi Matt,
some of the UK Marvel titles are hard to find, as they don't all have the name on CPG as on the comic, like this title. It should be searchable under Spider-Man and Hulk Weekly, as that's what's on the cover and according to the comicvine info, as they say "it renamed itself Spider-Man and Hulk Weekly". I don't know what it says in the indicia though, maybe it still says Spider-Man Weekly, but seems they kept the same numbering, so CPG considers it the same title. Later on it changes to Spidey on the cover, and that also doesn't work in the search engine for the UK. So some admin can fix that and add Hulk and Spidey to the terms for that title.

and for your CPG learning experience, see this thread for my search tips (4th post down): https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/topic12110-evil-ernie-youth-gone-wild-directors-cut.aspx
