Not Al Milgrom’s finest hour, this cover. The longer you look at that Spider-Man, the wonkier it gets. Maybe he was especially overworked this month. Looks like an explosive time for our…

Sandman goin’ legit. Or is he? This should be about the time it happened. Never excited to see The Enforcer. Some concepts are just too silly to me. As a kid reading…

So, obviously this is not going to be a Spider-Man comic, but all things considered, I’d say it’s within our purview. While ASM 248 didn’t take advantage of the invitation to get…

ASM 169
This one sure was allowed to simmer. 18 issues after Peter got rid of the clone, like half a year since JJJ came into possession of the photos, we’re finally gonna see…
