I’ve been getting Killer Shrike and Blacklash mixed up since I was a kid, and here they are, appearing in consecutive issues of Spectacular. How random. This is another one written by…
ASM 264
We got us a fill-in. Last issue promised the debut of Silver Sable, but that’s actually next month. I have read that Tom DeFalco was notoriously late with scripts in this period….
WEB 002
Looks like either $5.00 or $8.00 written on that bag. No longer have a clue what I paid for it, but probably not that much. For the moment, Web is still Louis…

Hoooooboy, this is gonna be a weird one. It’s Bill Mantlo, Ron Frenz, Mike Esposito & George Roussos bringing Spider-Man together with one of the goofiest heroes in the Marvel U. And…
TAC 083
I love an issue with everything. That’s only 3 things, tho. I’ve been promised everything with more things in the past. And The Punisher’s getting arrested AND put on trial this issue?…
