That is certainly a take on Mr. Hyde! I really prefer the sort of crude, choppy inking Milgrom applies to his pencils to the flat, faux-John Romita, Sr. thing Jim Mooney does….
MTU 139
Not Al Milgrom’s finest hour, this cover. The longer you look at that Spider-Man, the wonkier it gets. Maybe he was especially overworked this month. Looks like an explosive time for our…

ASM 248
Here we have a pretty famous issue. 2 stories this month, and JRJR and Terry Austin representing both on the cover is pretty slick. $6, but not bagged upside down. First we…
