// Archive commentary
Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man #41 is a Bronze Age team-up issue written by Tom DeFalco with art by Jim Mooney, teaming Spider-Man with the Defenders-adjacent heroes Valkyrie and Nighthawk alongside Black Goliath, with the Looter and his enforcer Slattery serving as antagonists. The issue reflects the era's frequent cross-title guest appearances that padded out Spider-Man's secondary titles, and it holds no first appearances, deaths, or landmark creative milestones that would elevate it beyond a standard supporting-cast issue.
Market data is thin: only a single certified CGC 9.8 sale is on record, at a modest price point, with no population reported above that grade. This scarcity of certified sales, combined with the absence of any notable first-appearance or historical hook, keeps demand narrow and largely confined to Spider-Man completists and readers assembling a full run of the Spectacular Spider-Man series rather than speculative key-issue buyers.
This title trades as a bulk or bargain-bin book in low and mid grades, commonly found in dollar boxes or discount online listings, while high-grade slabs see only occasional, low-volume sales driven by census rarity rather than character or story significance. Collectors interested in this issue are typically series runs completists or Valkyrie/Nighthawk crossover collectors rather than investors, and pricing across grades is expected to remain flat and demand-limited absent any new attribution of significance to the issue.
