Fun cover idea. He really calls it his Awesome Android. Gnarly, dude. One Kevin Duban finishes this issue, and Bob Sharen is back on colors. I need to pin down when he…
ASM Annual 17
I have absolutely no idea where this came from. I can tell I’ve had it a very long time, but… whence came it? And sans cover, no less. I also don’t remember…
MTU 130
Another very surprising Romita, Jr./Austin team-up on this cover. It’s weird how “regular comic book art” Vision looks compared to the rest of the image. Sal Buscema’s in on breakdown with Mike…
MTU 129
Ed Hannigan inked by John Byrne on the cover there. Looks like Byrne spent all of 5 minutes on it. Weird cover in general. 1983 brings us back to the JM DeMatteis,…
ASM 241

ASM 240

Official Marvel Comics Try-Out Book
This post is a special crossover with the main site here at Comics From Space!, where I finished The Official Marvel Comics Try-Out Book. Over several posts, it discusses this famous comics…
End of Block 22
Kind of a rough one this time out. A lot of superheroing, but not much going on in Peter’s life.
ASM 223
It’s Denny O’Neil’s last issue of ASM, and he’s only sort of here. JM DeMatteis scripts over an O’Neil plot, while John Romita, Jr. and Al Milgrom start us off with a…
TAC 061
This time we got a plot by Roger Stern, script by Bill Mantlo, pencils by Ed Hannigan and inks by Jim Mooney. Roger is juuuust about to make the jump to Amazing,…
