This issue saw print the same month as ASM 53, and it, too, has 4 pages slightly taller than the rest of the book. A systemic problem! This cover is about as…

Sam Keith! His stuff is just plain weird, very loose and very cartoony, and you either like it or don’t, but what’s rather fascinating to me is how big he got in…
PPSM 55
I’m running out of ways to react to these insane figures. I can’t believe someone took a bite out of Spider-Man. Weirdly, this 3-parter ends with Khary Randolph taking over art duties….
