There are 2 robots, tho. This is the most eventful prison release in Marvel history! Good grief! All this on the first page??? Love Spidey in the hat. Ditko is doing the…

Here it is, the new earliest Spider-Man comic I have. Back when this blog started in 2019, my oldest issue was 30, but no longer! Obviously not the nicest copy, it may…
