Condition: Good+ (2.5)
One of the most iconic and influential Spider-Man issues of the Silver Age, Amazing Spider-Man #50 delivers the legendary story “Spider-Man No More!”—a defining moment in the life of Peter Parker and a cornerstone of Marvel’s character-driven storytelling.
Written by Stan Lee and drawn by John Romita, this issue captures Spider-Man at his most human.

Essential chapter in the three-part arc that permanently redefined Spider-Man’s sense of duty.
Why it matters:
ASM #50 is widely regarded as one of the greatest Spider-Man stories ever told.

This issue is a must-know book for any Marvel or Spider-Man collector.
