Prime Investment Opportunity: Amazing Spider-Man #299 Newsstand Edition CGC 9.0 – White Pages, Signed by Todd McFarlane, First Venom Cameo & First McFarlane Solo Cover
Own a piece of comic book legend with Amazing Spider-Man #299 Newsstand Edition (Marvel, April 1988), graded CGC 9.0 with flawless white pages and signed by iconic artist Todd McFarlane. This key issue, featuring the first cameo appearance of Venom and McFarlane’s debut solo cover, is a collector’s gem. Priced at $700, this signed, high-grade newsstand edition is a rare find with exceptional investment potential.
Key Appearances
Amazing Spider-Man #299, titled “Survival of the Hittist!” (Part 2 of 2), written by David Michelinie with pencils by McFarlane and inks by Bob McLeod, delivers intense action. Spider-Man allies with Chance to infiltrate the Life Foundation’s headquarters after a failed arms theft. The issue introduces Carlton Drake and culminates in the first chilling cameo of Eddie Brock as Venom on the final page, paving the way for his full debut in ASM #300. Supporting characters like Mary Jane Watson, Joy Mercado, and Joe Robertson enrich this Copper Age classic, making it a pivotal chapter in Spider-Man’s saga.
Current Value
Graded CGC 9.0 with white pages, this ASM #299 Newsstand Edition is a standout. Recent sales show CGC 9.0 Direct Editions fetching $400–$550 unsigned, with newsstand variants commanding a 10–20% premium due to their lower print runs and distribution challenges. McFarlane’s signature, verified by CGC, pushes the value to $700, reflecting its rarity and appeal. Market data from eBay and MyComicShop confirms robust demand, with newsstand copies prized for their scarcity. The first Venom cameo and McFarlane’s first solo cover make this a cornerstone collectible.
Expected Value and Trends
Venom’s massive popularity, driven by films like Venom: The Last Dance (2024) and potential MCU integrations, fuels demand for ASM #299. CGC 9.0 copies have risen 10–20% in value over the past two years, with signed newsstand editions poised for steeper growth. The comic’s dual significance—Venom’s debut cameo and McFarlane’s first solo cover—enhances its allure. With events like Spider-Man 4 (2026) or SDCC 2025 likely to amplify symbiote hype, this issue could reach $900–$1,200 within 12–24 months, especially if CGC Signature Series graded. The newsstand rarity and McFarlane’s Image Comics legacy further bolster its investment upside.
Your prior interest in McFarlane-signed ASM #299 and Venom-related issues underscores this comic’s appeal. At $700, this Amazing Spider-Man #299 Newsstand CGC 9.0 is a rare opportunity to own a signed, high-grade key with unmatched historical and market value.
