10 issues into this block before a regular monthly ASM. Wild. And look who it is. Really mowing them down. It’s Marv Wolfman, Keith Pollard & Jim Mooney on deck for this…

TAC 038
You heard it here first. Mayhem is the man called Morbius. Hard to imagine how this lightning gag is going to factor into the book, if at all. On art this month,…
ASM 170

TAC 001
As we have seen before, Tarantula only attacks from the left on a yellow background. The allegedly pulse-pounding first issue of Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man. What an unwieldy title. People used…
