Saturday Night Live slimed an original copy of Amazing Spider-Man 191 (the first appearance of Black Cat) during a Nickelodeon sketch last night.
Literally no props department would intentionally include something as valuable as that comic to be involved in a sketch period. Let alone a sketch where it’s destroyed. Guaranteed, ill admit if I’m wrong show me facts.
Are you sure it wasnt a reprint or prop made in-house?
I heard it was a reproduction.
It was probably a prop. They’re not dumb enough to destroy an expensive antique for the sake of a scene, they’re not Quentin Tarantino.
Sidenote that was a good sketch but they ruined it by making it go for too long without upping the absurdity, typical SNL.
Looking at the video the pages unfold in an odd way, like staples are in wrong place. Looks like a mock up.
I just did a little more digging. According to [Comicbook.com](https://comicbook.com/marvel/news/saturday-night-live-destroys-spider-man-comic-sketch/), it may not be an original. The cover is right, but the interior pages don’t match the issue. Hopefully a happy ending, and nice to see other comic fans were already looking into it. Sorry to pull out the pitchforks and torches.
What year is the comic from if I may ask? I want to see if that is accurate because you cannot do that on television, is much older than you think. general nickelodeon older than you think.

Nah, they sell amazingly good repop copies of comics on street corner tables. Look just like original but fresh.

The bottom-left corner of the cover, where the barcode would be is blacked out. The Direct edition from that era had a diagonal line through the barcode.
I thought it could be a toy biz reprint or something. But looking into it, they didn’t make one for that issue. It’s definitely an in-house prop. They may have simply used the cover from a reprint and modified it, then put it around newspaper or something? Just a guess.
