Why not the Civil War unmasking of Spider Man or Ultimate Spider Man #1 or an issue of Marvel Adventures? The Ditko art and Stan Lee dialogue are miles away from what someone would find in a contemporary comic unless they're buying the Masterworks editions so it seems weird someone thought this might attract new readers to comics- perhaps this was more an attempt to spur sales of the paper with lots of morons thinking this issue might be "collectible."

If this is nation-wide, it will be interesting to see how the release dates vary. The Newark Star Ledger (NJ) will have this book or something similar on Sunday.
