Hey, this obviously isn’t a comic. I thought it might be fun to draw some pinups summarizing each block of issues that I cover. As we move into the 2nd one, even…

ASM 108
Time to find out what’s up with Flash while also spending the whole issue worried it’s gonna be racist, even if it’s not. Romita inks himself on this one with assists from…

ASM 100
Astute readers will note this is not Amazing Spider-Man 100. But it is a reasonable facsimile. Marvel did this “Selects” thing for a brief period in the year 2000, reprinting seemingly random…
