… ’cause I like Spider-Man too.
ASM 583, first printing cover
I just won an eBay auction for a near mint copy of Amazing Spider-Man 583, first print. The special Obama inauguration cover Won it just now, right in the middle of watching 24 on Fox (and not really understanding the story because I’m a couple episodes behind and too busy to watch the recaps online). I know, I know … kind of a geeky way to celebrate our nation’s first Black president. But given the circumstances and the fact that I’ve been reading Spidey for a long long time, I thought it was fitting.
If I wasn’t too busy this month I would have flown over on the red-eye to D.C. to join in American history. But I guess TV will have to do. I doubt very many people will be working tomorrow anyway. It’s just a couple hours from now. Amazing when you think about it.
And I can’t wait to get the comic book in the mail. Maybe it’ll get here before my ASM subscription copy arrives. Yeah, I know. Spider geek out.

Q: Cool custom header! What city is that?
A: Why thanks. It’s the Hong Kong skyline from atop Victoria Peak Tower. I took that photo during a visit back in December ‘08. That’s Kowloon in the distance, btw.
