ASM 378
Here’s what the kids wanted. David Michelinie, Mark Bagley, Randy Emberlin, Bob Sharen on deck. Venom has arrived in New York, and seeing Carnage’s face on a newspaper, starts yelling at it…
WEB 101
This month, WEB is Terry Kavanagh, Alex Saviuk, Don Hudson and Bob Sharen. The inker job on this book was all over the place for awhile. Well, Spider-Man’s still in that alley,…

UTS 19
Why would you do this? Why bring Doc Ock back right after the Sinister Six? This seems foolish. G. L. Lawrence is the latest name to show up on this blog, make…
