Shades of ASM 55. Speaking of, for some reason, they got Romita, Sr. to do a version on the fold out: Kinda jarring, really. They’re still in the era of a recap…

ASM 426
Been so long since we saw this era. Crazy. Tom DeFalco, Steve Skroce, Bud La Rosa, Bob Sharen on board. Gee, who could this villain be? Well, page one is is Doc…

Well, we’re back for more of this. Spider-Man and Doc Samson spend 3 pages dodging Hulk and recapping that ends with Samson trying to put Hulk in a chokehold and being thrown…

ASM 018
The story you never expected to read, but will read with remarkable frequency in the coming decades! The splash is mostly JJJ grinning like a goon in front of his expose on…
