Back for more with Kraven, or is it Kraven? Maybe they’ll get around to turning over their cards, I don’t actually remember when they do. But peep the completely incorrect credits on…

SM Annual ’97
Oh boy. I think this is Calypso’s first appearance since McFarlane’s first arc, some 7 years later? That seems almost impossible. And… The Marvel Zombie. In the 70s, when The Comics Code…
MTU Vol. 2 2
Hercules, eh? Hopefully this won’t be quite as silly as the last time these two had a Marvel Team-Up, in Vol. 1, #28, where you may recall Hercules dragged the entire island…

TAC 246
Sigh. Big sigh. Ross’s Spider-Man is really off-model from his usual McFarlane-by-way-of-Campbell impression here. Looks like he jumped to the future and started aping ballpoint pen-era Steve McNiven. That’s a very inside…
