In the 70s & 80s, this one would have certainly said “Spidey Goes Wild!” on the cover. Ditko gets his plot credit back this month. The surprisingly boring splash is just The…

Skroce’s Spider-Man improved dramatically during this story. He got more sleek and less lumpy looking. The other characters did, too, to varying degrees. Simplifying was a good idea. We seem to have…

ASM 018
