In the latest Drawing Crazy Patterns, where we spotlight five recurring themes in comics, we examine five times that Marvel used a guest appearance by Spider-Man to help sell the first issue of a new ongoing comic book series. Throughout the history of Marvel Comics, a constant has been that if a character is popular, you use them to guest-star in a new comic book series to help sell that new comic book series. It’s just common sense, as if people like Wolverine, then wouldn’t they naturally be more likely to read a comic book that Wolverine was guest-starring in? I actually did a bit where I noted that Wolverine actually guest-starred in at least one Marvel comic book a month for over three years!The cover of Howard the Duck #1 probably had the earliest outright reference to the fact that, hey, Spider-Man sells, people!
