Alright, part two! I’ma keep it real witchu, chief: I do not like that cover. Never did! I think it’s considered an iconic Frank Miller cover, but it’s like… why is Spider-Man…

TAC 059
Another very old time-y looking cover from Bob Wiacek. This one has always struck me as odd. Jim Mooney flying solo on the art for this one, which opens with some dudes…
TAC 058
John Byrne and Vince Colletta come through the endless revolving door of artists on this book this time. Apparently Marie Severin was meant to be the sole artist during this run, but…

TAC 054
Marie Severin and Jim Mooney are back on art duties for this one. It opens with Spider-Man happening upon a car chasing and shooting at an ambulance! Spidey doesn’t like that, so……

ASM 236
Did I pay $6 for this? I can’t rightly say. I don’t remember the acquisition of most of this set. It’s been a long time. We rejoin the insane situation we left…
