And so, at long last, we come to it, the 2nd of my very oldest Spider-Man comics. The coverless copy of ASM 148 and this battered old copy of 180 are the…

ASM 179
As has been mentioned, 70s comics always wanted you to think the hero couldn’t possibly win against the villain, while pitting him against some really terrible villains. It was a hard sell….
