ASM 22-24 are a 3-parter, so we’re sticking with PPSM for awhile before getting back to it. I’m not complaining! Sure looks like a Byrne swipe from Chapter One on the cover….

ASM V2 21
So, we’re back to Spider-Man being overwhelmed by Spider-Slayers large and small. Rodney Ramos pitches in on inks this month, added to the list of Mackie, Larsen & Beatty all credited with…
ASM V2 20
See what I did last post? Ho ho. Now here we have an unusual thing, the 100 Page Monster. This was apparently based on something DC did in the 70s that Tom…
PPSM 19

PPSM 14

ASM 434
This striking cover by Mark Buckingham is the egregious swipe of Joe Bennett from SMU 18 I caught last time we were in this period. I always liked this cover, it stuck…
