Yes, another original, this time with most of its cover, even! Not only that, but there’s now just 1 reprint between here and ASM 129. I have managed to obtain all but…

I do not own the first appearance of Electro. I am not made of money. I guess maybe that’s not a good excuse given some of the insane things I have managed…
ASM 008
Here it is, the new earliest Spider-Man comic I have. Back when this blog started in 2019, my oldest issue was 30, but no longer! Obviously not the nicest copy, it may…
