And now we’re just quoting the Beatles. And presumably rehashing ASM 33. I remember this cover, but not the issue. Spider-Man Must Lift A Heavy Thing may be pretty well-trodden ground, but…

SM 86
F- minus for this cover copy. Concept and execution. But who cares, JRJR is back. Look how much more incredible the end of last issue looks at the beginning of this issue:…
ASM 427
