Why would you do this? Why bring Doc Ock back right after the Sinister Six? This seems foolish. G. L. Lawrence is the latest name to show up on this blog, make…

ASM Annual 01
This is ASM Annual 6, but it reprints the first one, so I saved myself a zillion dollars. I never really thought much of it before, but I think the Sinister Six…
ASM 012
Now here’s a famous story. It’s wild to me to now own so many big moments in Spider-History. I somehow obtained a copy of Spider-Man Classics #13, reprinting this issue behind a…
