This is a SUPER-RARE 1989 MARVEL COMICS "ON SALE HERE" PROMOTIONAL PAPER SHOPPING BAG, which was to be given out by comic shop owners to their customers. This listing does not include any actual comic books, just the promo paper bag.

SIZE: This comic shop dealer's promotional paper shopping bag measures about 11 3/4 by 8 1/4 inches. The blank white box in the lower right corner was designed by Marvel's merchandising department so retailers could ink-stamp their name and store address on the bag. But this 1980's promotional bag has no comic store info stamped on it, thus making something already rare even more valuable!

CONDITION: This 1980's Marvel Universe bag has never been used, but it does have some yellowing from all the years in storage, otherwise it would have been in very fine/vf condition.

This bag is TWO-SIDED of course, and SIDE 1 features art by silver age artist JOHN ROMITA SR, and it shows Jazzy Johnny Romita's renditions of the Amazing Spider-man, the Punisher, the Incredible Hulk, Captain America, and the Silver Surfer.  By the way, you can see one of the twin towers of the WTC/World Trade Center right behind Spiderman.  SIDE 2 shows the Punisher (this time by Klaus Janson), Ghost Rider, and a character called "Destroyer".

This promotional item was SENT ONLY TO COMIC BOOK RETAIL STORE OWNERS, it was NEVER FOR SALE directly to the public (only if customers made a purchase), and was made in LIMITED QUANTITIES. MCTS09
