So, as mentioned in the last post, this was one of the first Spidey comics I owned. I had begun buying ASM monthly with my allowance by the time I got them…

Now this one… this one is special. One of several special ones, all coming up here. When I was a lad of 9 years old or thereabouts, I started reading comics out…
