Well, we’ve come to the last book in this block. Can’t say I’ll be sad to leave. More of this Kraven nonsense. Well, I say that, but nothing going on with him…
TAC 250
For some reason, we begin here a thing where someone’s decided big Osborn issues have to have Romita covers even if it’s not his book. I mean, I’m not complaining, but it’s…
TAC 249
Back for more with Kraven, or is it Kraven? Maybe they’ll get around to turning over their cards, I don’t actually remember when they do. But peep the completely incorrect credits on…

SSM 20

Batman & Spider-Man
It’s funny this worked out, that the 2 crossovers happened in consecutive blocks despite being almost 2 years apart. And look at that cover, man. Marvel was just smoking DC in art…
