I have a tortured history with this issue. I obviously don’t own it. We’re obviously looking at a reprint in Giant-Size Spider-Man #1. But I coulda had it. So many times! This…

TAC Annual 06
Yeah, we’re doing this again. Kinda bold to nick the cover to Purple Rain twice, but what can ya do? The sequel no one asked for is here! He’s dressed rather more…
