A heartwarming Christmas issue! Or… not. It’s Peter Parker, after all, things were going way too well in his personal life. This is another one I have memorized from my childhood. Backwards…
WEB 049
Ladies & gentlemen, in the wake of all that Inferno madness, may I present to you, a fill-in issue. Much as I love Charles Vess, this isn’t his strongest cover. Weird hands….
TAC 148

ASM 312

WEB 047

TAC 146
That seems bad. Kind of a goofy cover, but hey, it’s Inferno, things are weird. This one is new to me. Spidey’s swinging around thinking things are going well when a roof…
