Comments: These stickers measure roughly 4 1/2" x 3 3/4" and came polybagged in various Italian distributed Marvel comics between 1987 and 1990. Star Comics was the publisher of Italian-distributed Marvel comics from 1987-1994. These stickers were included (2 per comic) in the first issues of Star Comics titles Uomo Ragno (Spider-Man) and Fantastici Quattro (Fantastic Four). They were included in the following issues of Uomo Ragno ed. Star Comics: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 and these issues of Fantastici Quattro ed. Star Comics: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. There are also color variants to these stickers, but it is not known how many total stickers were produced. For the Italian-impaired, "Cercami in Edicola" translates to "Look for me (the comic) at the newsagents" and "Ti Aspetta In Edicola" means "It is waiting for you at the newsagents". Thanks Federico!
