This one’s called “How Ya Gonna Keep ‘Em Down At The Morgue After They’ve Seen NYC?” That’s too specific not to be a reference. Wikipedia sez there’s a 100-year old folk song…

TAC 093
Notice how Spider-Man has a notch out of his elbow? What’s that all about? Yo, this comic smells bad, man. It has been stored improperly. The Ebay listing did not mention this….
MTU 143
Weird looking Spider-Man on that cover. Questionable proportions. Weird design on that bad guy, too. For the last 2 issues, Greg LaRocque has just been providing breakdowns, and Mike Esposito has been…
MTU 142

MTU 120
The blog debut of Dominic Fortune. Now here’s an odd one. Not really in-universe, but behind-the-scenes. When founder Martin Goodman sold Marvel Comics in the 70s, he did so with the stipulation…
