Pretty striking cover! Here’s another one I’ve had forever. I almost feel like it was in the magical box of Marvel comics discussed elsewhere on this blog, but it seems too old….

Yes. The cover alone tells you this is going to be the worst issue of ASM of the 1980s. I guess that might sound extreme or hyperbolic, but… I mean, look at…

First of all, I cannot imagine how last issue’s story could lead to Spidey and the FF fighting Dr. Doom who has apparently kidnapped Franklin, and second of all, the title of…
