Alright, let’s get this over with. This is a wraparound cover. Here’s the back: Romita going hard for this one already. And as of this month, he’s teamed with the magnificent Scott…

ASM 418
Halfway done. And it’s into this tumult that new regular (Or perhaps more accurately, “regular”) penciler Steve Skroce drops in. Skroce had been making a big splash in the X-Men comics. To…
SSM 11
