Ah, back to normal on covers. There’s a few more reprints in the future (3, in fact), but otherwise, we’re looking at the real things again for a good, long while. Unfortunately,…
ASM 101
Another reprint! Yeah, well, ASM 101 is expensive. If anyone wants to buy me one, feel free. But, lucky for me, I’ve had this issue of Marvel Tales since it came out,…
ASM 100
Astute readers will note this is not Amazing Spider-Man 100. But it is a reasonable facsimile. Marvel did this “Selects” thing for a brief period in the year 2000, reprinting seemingly random…

ASM 097

ASM 095
‘Ello, guvnah! Looks like we’re off to Jolly Old England this time! The tape on the back of this comic back was packing tape. That’s a lot to get up when opening…
ASM 094
Ah, The Beetle One of Steve Ditko’s few misses as a costume designer. Maybe the only miss, really. Pretty weird. Sal Buscema hops in to ink this one, marking the first of…
ASM 093
This is one of a handful I got dirt cheap at Heroes Con 2018. They had been wet, and so the guy was just trying to get rid of them. They were…
