Comics Spidey Trade Paperback Question

[TDK]

Okay, here goes. I recently purchased these three Spider-man trades:

Spider-man Visionaries: Todd McFarlane.

Spider-man Legends: Todd McFarlane Volume 2

Spider-man Legends: Todd McFarlane Volume 3

Collectively, these trades contain all of McFarlanes ASM issues. And that's fine. But here's my confusion. On the inside cover of Legends Volume 2, it advertises Spider-man Legends Volume ONE. This trade features the exact same issues as the Spider-man Visionaires: Todd McFarlane book. Only it has a matching cover to go with Volumes 2 & 3. Which is highly annoying.

So my question is... seeing as I can't find this ANYWHERE; Was Spider-man Legends Volume One, ever released???

Or can you only get those issues in the Spider-man Visionaires: Todd McFarlane release???

Please help me.

Hehe. I asked this very same question when I 1st joined these boards about 3 years ago now. lol

Spider-man Legends: Todd McFarlane Volume 1 was released, but was replaced later on by Spider-man Visionaries: Todd McFarlane...if I remember correctly.
But anyway, both contain the exact same material so no biggie.

That's intersting. I assumed that the Visionaries trade was released first. Then they decided to make it into a series of McFarlane trades, marketed as Spider-man Legends.

What I wasn't sure about was whether they actually did bother to re-release the first trade as Legends Volume One. Or if they were just planning to.

And I know it contains the same material. But I crave matching covers!
