Mark Bagley didn’t achieve the lunatic furor from fans the Image guys had when he came on the scene around the same time, in spite of a more than passing similarity to…

Now we’re getting somewhere. They dragged this prison thing out too long. I guess it was only 2 and a half months, but it was also 11 issues, 5 of them oversized….

Another “SUPER COOL” holodisk! DEFINITELY worth the extra $2.50. This one shows a Peter Parker that sort-of-not-really morphs into Spider-Man. Very exciting. Cover by Scott McDaniel, because this is a stealth launch…
