For Christmas, I got a picture that has the 4 holograms that were on Spider-Man comics for his 30th anniversary. It is signed by John Romita and Stan Lee! For it to be signed by Stan Lee is a big deal for comic book people who like Spider-Man! Stan Lee was the editor of Marvel and co-creator of Spider-Man with Steve Ditko. John Romita took over drawing Spider-Man from Steve Ditko. He started drawing Amazing Spider-Man at issue #39 and helped create MJ, the Rhino, and Kingpin. He made Spider-Man become even more popular!
A hologram is a 3-D photo made by a laser. My 4 holograms were on the covers of these issues: Amazing Spider-Man #365, Web of Spider-Man #90, Spider-Man #26, and The Spectacular Spider-Man #189. These holograms show Spider-Man swinging on his web in different poses. They look really bright and colorful and when you look at them from different angles they seem to move from side to side in their box.
There are 2500 of these holograms ever made and so many people want them that they must be difficult to find. I feel really lucky that I got #1070 out of #2500!

March 27, 2021The Certificate of Authenticity from Dynamic Forces Inc. I have says 2,500 also. On eBay says it’s 1992 but I could have sworn I bought mine through Westfield Comics for wholesale in 1983. I’d hate to think I have dementia but …

February 17, 2025Hi, my father, David Dann did the original sculpts for these covers. They’re based on John Romita’s classic art, but the sculpts were hand-made and hand-painted by my father and they’re what you see in each hologram. He’s featured in Marvel Age #114 in an article all about the process and his role as the artist.
He also did two sets of Spider-Man hologram trading cards, among other sculpts for Marvel and many other companies including DC, Malibu Comics, Hasbro/Kenner, Mattel, VISA.
