You know it’s serious when they give the ad pages to the story. You also know it’s serious because the inside front & back cover are a poster of the front cover….

Spectacular Spider-Man 2
Now in full color! I’ve been wanting to read this for decades! It’s been hard not to read it since I got it during The Great Ebay Hysteria of 2018, but I…
ASM 063
Welcome back to 1968! Feels like it’s been forever since I saw stuff this old. There’s so much stuff from the Michelinie era. Anyway, this is gonna be a nice, long stretch…

ASM 121
That’s a pretty crazy cover. Who could walk past that on the rack? This, obviously, isn’t an original 121, because I am not rich, but this era of Marvel Tales reproduced the…
