Written by Dan Slott and illustrated by Stuart Immonen, Mike Hawthorne, and others, this oversized issue, released May 30, 2018 (LGY #800), concludes the Go Down Swinging arc. Spider-Man (Peter Parker) faces the Red Goblin (Norman Osborn, bonded with the Carnage symbiote) in a climactic battle. Key characters include Spider-Man, Agent Anti-Venom (Flash Thompson, who dies), the Human Torch, Silk, Spider-Man (Miles Morales), J. Jonah Jameson, and Normie Osborn (Goblin Childe). Supporting roles feature Mary Jane Watson, Harry Lyman, and the Black Cat. The issue’s emotional weight, with Flash’s sacrifice and Peter’s victory, cements its significance. Nick Bradshaw’s Variant cover, a retailer-exclusive, showcases Spider-Man and Red Goblin in a vibrant, action-packed design, boosting its collectible allure.
The Nick Bradshaw Variant, a retailer-exclusive cover, retails at $9.99 but commands $15–$40 in NM (Near Mint) condition on eBay, driven by Bradshaw’s detailed art and the issue’s milestone status. CGC 9.8 graded copies fetch $60–$120, with signed copies (including a Certificate of Authenticity) reaching $80–$150. By comparison, the Alex Ross Cover A sells for $8–$20 NM, and the 1:100 Ross Virgin Variant hits $100–$200 NM. The Bradshaw Variant aligns with values of his Wolverine covers ($20–$60 NM), offering a balance of exclusivity and affordability for a milestone issue.
The Red Goblin arc’s significance, tied to Venom films and Venom War (2024), fuels this issue’s investment potential. Milestone issues with key events, like Flash’s death, often appreciate 50–100% within 3–5 years, as seen with Amazing Spider-Man #698 ($20–$100 NM). By 2027, NM copies of this variant could reach $40–$80, and CGC 9.8 copies may hit $120–$250, especially with Venom 3 (2024) and potential X-Men ’97 Season 2 (2025) boosting symbiote interest. Grading delays (ongoing into mid-2025) may tighten supply, driving prices higher. Bradshaw’s art and the issue’s narrative weight ensure long-term demand.
The Amazing Spider-Man #800 Nick Bradshaw Variant combines exclusivity, artistic prestige, and narrative significance. Bradshaw’s dynamic cover and the issue’s milestone status, with Flash’s death and Red Goblin’s defeat, make it a collector’s prize. Ideal for fans seeking a key Spider-Man issue or investors eyeing the symbiote surge, this comic offers strong upside. Secure it now to capitalize on Spider-Man’s legacy and Bradshaw’s collectible allure!
