This copy is the American Direct Edition, recognizable by the text above the barcode in the lower left on the front cover. Certified Guaranty Company graded the comic with Universal Grade 9.4, or Near Mint. The blue label states White Pages and confirms that two subscription inserts are present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis issue contains the second chapter of the four-part storyline Back from the Edge. Tom DeFalco wrote the story and Sal Buscema provided the cover and artwork. The front cover places Spider-Man and Puma in the middle of their confrontation. The diagonal lines in the background follow the movement of both characters, while the vertical text on the left indicates where this issue belongs in the storyline. The CGC label also mentions an appearance by Nocturne and a cameo by Daredevil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe transparent CGC holder shows both the cover and the back. On the back is an advertisement for WWF Raw by Acclaim, with references to the game versions for Super NES and Game Boy, among others. That is a visible detail from the period in which the comic was published. The certificate number on the label identifies this specific copy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWithin a Spider-Man collection, this edition fits with the other chapters of Back from the Edge or with a series of covers by Sal Buscema. For those who collect editions, the Direct Edition designation and the label make it easy to keep the print variant and the grading data with the comic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis copy still contains both original subscription inserts. On the front of the CGC holder it explicitly states “2 subscription inserts included”.
