That’s an unusual amount of blood for a comic of this vintage! The difference between Milgrom’s full-service covers and interior pencils in this era is pretty striking. Prior to this, Black Cat…

TAC 075
Cataclysmic! Al Milgrom does breakdowns and Jim Mooney finishes as Spider-Man sweeps Black Cat up in a big embrace. At this point, it suddenly dawns on Spidey that she’s been alive the…
TAC 074
Pretty striking cover by Bob Hall. Peter horribly mistreating Deb is a saga! Who knew? Peter has been treating her like crap for over 4 years now, “and it’s all been leading…
TAC 073
This cover reminds me of TAC 51. Not really the same, but both have Spidey throwing down in space. As is the case surprisingly often, TAC has decided to just go off…
TAC 072
Doesn’t look like we’ll be waiting long. Are they in a fish tank? What am I looking at on this cover? It’s Bill Mantlo, Ed Hannigan and Al Milgrom at the boards…
TAC 232
Yeah, so, at this point, Dr. Octopus has been killed and replaced. And it’s dumb and I’m not even going to talk about it if I don’t have to, because we’ll see…
SMU 6
Perilously close to the oft-mentioned crossover now, but we gotta hit our first issue of Spider-Man Unlimited. Ninety cents! What a deal. Never read this one, so I have no idea what…
ASM 297
For the record, I have no memory of buying or ever reading ASM 296 & 297. I think I’ve had them for many years, but I don’t really know. Some evidence suggests…
ASM 296
That cover copy feels really perfunctory. “Force of Arms.” What’s that got to do with this weird image? I’m also very interested by the “1985” next to John Byrne’s signature. This cover…
Superman Vs. The Amazing Spider-Man
That’s right, gang: Spider-Man’s most surprising team-up ever! $2.00 back when comics cost a quarter! This was a pretty big deal for its time, and it seems like this sort of crossover…
