This is the 2nd appearance of The Hobgoblin, but for me, this is where it all started. Having been reading the ASM of my era, the late 80s, early 90s, the 300s…
Month: March 2020
MTU 128
There’s something you don’t see everyday. Wonder why this happened. Same team as usual lately as Peter Parker, his lab partner Roger Hochberg and his girlfriend Mia Carrera are at a street…
ASM 238
We finally made it to ASM 238! This one was an eBay acquisition from the turn of the century. This one’s pretty pricey in the present, and I actually remember I got…
TAC 076
That’s an unusual amount of blood for a comic of this vintage! The difference between Milgrom’s full-service covers and interior pencils in this era is pretty striking. Prior to this, Black Cat…

TAC 074
Pretty striking cover by Bob Hall. Peter horribly mistreating Deb is a saga! Who knew? Peter has been treating her like crap for over 4 years now, “and it’s all been leading…
TAC 073

MTU 126

MTU 127

ASM 237
Hey, look, we haven’t seen ASM in a bit. Everybody’s on break this month. Stern plots, but Bill Mantlo scripts. Bob Hall does breakdowns and Frank Giacoia finishes. We open on Wilbur…
