1990s Star Wars comic with badge

Back in the day when I had a disposable income I bought two of this comic. One to read (and wear the badge!) and another to keep nice with the badge still attached.  

The comic was published in the UK by Dark Horse, and the issue was April 1993.

Spiderman and Zoids comic

Spiderman and Zoids? What's that got to go with Star Wars?

Only the dark Lord of the Sith himself; Darth Vader.

Issue 14 of Marvel UK Spiderman and Zoids comic featured Vader, and the front cover was a work of art. Well, for me, quite literally. In 1993 I purchased this beauty above. It's the cover artwork of Spiderman and Zoids #14 and is one of my favourite bits of Star Wars memorabilia that I own, probably because it is so unique. It is signed by artist Robin Bouttell too, so, it's a decent thing to have on my wall.

I also have the comic too - here it is!

It's difficult to place a value on a piece of art, though I think it would take a three 0s (before the decimal point!) on the end for me to part with this. Comics from the UK from the mid-1980s typically don't hold the same value as U.S. comics, but prices still can go high. As ever, condition, rarity and how sought-after an item is will affect value. The Spiderman and Zoids ones range from a few pounds to £30 and more. My gut feel is  I think there is room for growth in the comic collecting market for UK editions.
