151 begins Len Wein’s run as writer on Spidey. Marvel clearly liked what he did on Team-Up enough to give him the keys to the car. Ross Andru stays on as regular…

ASM 146
A caption on page one notes this ends Gerry Conway’s 3rd year on the title. They say it’s all downhill from here. I wonder if they knew 149 would be his last…
ASM 085
Lofty claims for what seems like a pretty obvious reveal! They do a very special “previously on” kind of splash to make sure you see Vanessa recognizing The Schemer even if you…
