Have you ever looked at an old Marvel comic book and wondered why there's a picture of Spider-Man's head where the barcode should be? This is because of the direct market of comic sales, and has had enormous repercussions on the entire comic book industry from the boom of specialty comic shops, the market for back issues, and even the speculator bubble of the 90s. There is a lot of history behind this seemingly insignificant image!
