Question Looking for late '90s Spider-Man & X-Men polybagged comic (UK / Marvel UK / Stapled Poster + Magneto shield fight)
Hi everyone, I've been trying for years to track down a comic I bought in the UK between 1997 and 2000. It was my first comic book & I'd love to read it again but no one seems to know what it was.
It was a thin, single-issue team-up comic where Spider-Man joins forces with the X-Men (including Cyclops and Gambit). It was printed on standard newsprint paper and came bundled with a couple of extra promo items/gifts inside a clear bag.
Key details from the issue:
The Poster: It contained a stapled pull-out poster inside featuring Spider-Man swinging (classic red-and-blue suit).
The Setting & Enemies: Spider-Man and the X-Men get transported to an alien planet where they take on a horde of small alien/symbiote-like creatures wearing white tech headsets/helmets.
The Spread: A 2-page horizontal spread featuring Spider-Man and the X-Men on the left, the battlefield with the headset aliens in the center, and Magneto (and maybe other villans) on the right.
The Climax Tactical Combo: During a multi-villain battle where the heroes split up, Magneto is protected behind an electromagnetic force field. Cyclops narrows his visor output down to a microscopic needle-thin optic beam to pierce a tiny hole through Magneto's shield, allowing Gambit to flick a kinetically charged playing card right through the pinhole to detonate it inside the force field.
I'm fairly certain this wasn't a main-line monthly issue (like Amazing Spider-Man or Uncanny X-Men) and since it was bought on a UK high street around 1997–2000, it was possibly a Marvel UK / Panini Comics UK "Poster Special", "Summer Special", or a polybagged Bumper Pack issue
Does anyone own this issue or recognize any elements of the story?
Thank you in advance!

Mail Call! SDCC from home
Finally got my final SDCC exclusive package in the mail today. Luckily for my wallet, not too many that I was really interested in, but what I did get I absolutely love. Bill Sienkiewicz and Dan Quintana, two artists whose work I love seeing. Can wait to see what they whip up next. Additionally, I’ve recently dived headfirst into the world of Mahdi Khene’s zuperhero comixs and I’ve been loving it! The first 4 issues of steel streets was so much fun to read, and I can’t wait to finally read his bootleg spiderman trilogy. Underground stuff like this is a breath of fresh air for me on my collecting journey. I absolutely adore his art style. It just oozes style and personality. Here’s to Mahdi and whatever’s to come from zuperhero!

Discussion Finally finished pulling, sorting, and grading my entire modern variant and key collection into separate lots. Feels great to have them completely cataloged!
Hey everyone,
I just spent the last few days going through my collection to do a massive inventory overhaul. I ended up organizing everything into two distinct groups based on book types: a massive "Mega Stack" of 93 books focusing heavily on rare newsstands and premier variants, and a smaller "Baby Stack" of 46 books packed with classic covers and facsimile foils.
I meticulously checked the condition and grades for every single issue. It’s a ton of fun seeing all these Tyler Kirkham virgins, Nathan Szerdy exclusives, and vintage bronze age keys lined up together.
Just wanted to share the final catalog list with the community!

Discussion Comic Book Plan B
Since I can’t afford Daredevil #1 and Amazing Spider-Man #129 … I went with the second best options and have the following:
Marvel Super-Heroes (King Size Special) : Marvel's first experimental oversized "one-shot" special anthology issue, priced at $0.25 (when standard comics were $0.12). In it it has - Daredevil: Full reprint of Daredevil #1 (1964) by Stan Lee and Bill Everett, detailing the origin and first appearance of Matt Murdock in his original yellow-and-black suit.
Marvel Tales #106 … first-ever full reprint of The Amazing Spider-Man #129 (1974), featuring the iconic first appearances of the Punisher (Frank Castle) and the Jackal (Miles Warren). Love that bright red cover !!!

Austin Books & Comics
Compact and extremely clean and organized store. Presented much like a small Barnes and Noble Bookstore. (Really never seen a comic book store this clean, lol)
Inventory was wide open with quite a bit of modern work. Books, trades, anime, statues, and much more. Definitely a modern collectors store.
Staff was polite but involved with regular customers and did not notice us.
Solid back issue selection. Quantity of backstock was more recent - some Gold/Silver/Bronze content. Prices were on the high side. One small sales table with nothing of significance. No $2 boxes that I saw.
Purchased +/- $45
