Item Biography

"What If Gwen Stacy Had Lived?"

You know the story all too well. How a Web-Spinning, Wall-Crawler's world was destroyed in the form of a woman, murdered by his all-time most dangerous foe; the Green Goblin. The one villain who knows Spider-Man's true identity and has the added handicap of being Peter Parker's best friend's father.

It's a fight that Peter can't possibly hope to win. Whatever the outcome, someone close to him will lose dearly. Gwendolyne Stacy was bundled off a New York bridge* and Spider-Man's attempt to rescue her by halting her fall with his webbing caused her neck to snap from the subsequent whiplash.

Uatu reveals a reality where events progressed very differently, as Gwen Stacy survives and also learns Spider-Man's real identity. The pair of young lovers are set to wed, when the "Old Parker Luck" intervenes to scupper the day. A last ace held up the Goblin's sleeve bears bitter fruit for the connubial assemblage.


"The First Eternals"

The first cadre of super-beings genetically advanced by the space-wandering cosmic giants named Celestials, has segregated itself from its mud-wallowing un-evolved brethren. They settle in Arctic wastelands and a great city is erected there.

Chronos is the undisputed leader, until Uranos (a would-be usurper) issues a challenge to the direction which Chronos wishes to take their people in. A bloody civil war erupts, but is just as quickly quelled.

The insurrectionists are banished to the outer reaches of the Solar system, while Chronos dedicates himself to advanced scientific studies. Just as Chronos holds in his hands the secrets to life, the universe and everything... disaster strikes! A massive explosion destroys Chronos's lab and disperses his atoms to the whims of the cosmos.

*The bridge is depicted as the Brooklyn Bridge, but referred to, erroneously, as the George Washington Bridge, as it was in Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #121.

Hi

Welcome to ComicVortex.
To find out more about us click on each of the tabs.
ComicVortex has been in business on CCL for over 10 years now, and we are very proud of our virtually untarnished record of excellence. Every comic is individually graded (no robo-grading here). We take pride in the accuracy of our grading, and encourage you to see what others have said in our 'Seller Ratings'. With our store having over 1200 consecutive positive feedback, I can assure you that you will be pleased with any order you place with us!

Now for some helpful information:

Due to new tax laws which affect stores with more than 200 orders in a given year, effective immediately, ComicVortex has a $10 minimum (before shipping) on all orders. Purchases for less than this amount will be immediately refunded. Comics will be relisted at market value pending review.

Orders placed before 6pm will be mailed out on the following business day.

Comics and TPBs priced $1 or over and in VF or better condition will come individually bagged and backed. Hardcovers may or may not have backings depending on whether or not they will fit in the bag that they are kept in. All other comics will be bagged only.

In an effort to make room for more inventory, we are currently offering the following special: For every comic you purchase from our 'Bargain Bin' (those priced $1 or less), another comic purchased over $1 will receive 30% off (refunded via PayPal). e.g. If you purchase 10 'Bargain Bin' books, then 10 books purchased that are each over $1 will receive this refund, etc. Maximum discount per comic is 30% (buying 2 bargain bin comics won't get 60% off a single comic, but 30% off 2 comics over $1 instead). For comics in lots, the discount will follow the same guidelines, but are applied to individual comics within the Lot. For instance, if you purchase a single comic for under $1, and a six issue Lot, you would only receive a 5% discount on that set (30%/6). In order to get the 30% discount on the full Lot, you would need to purchase the same number of

Hey everyone!

Sorry to say, but we had to do away with the 'Free Shipping' option due to rising shipping costs. We did, however, replace it with another fantastic deal, which is a '$5 Flat Shipping' option for orders over $25.

Have a fantastic week!
