Not only did I not buy this one at the time, I’ve never even read it before. My reading of Web and Spectacular was spotty at first, but I tended to get…

TAC 158
What? Yes. It’s at least as weird as it sounds. Also weird is my thinking “Now we’re back to Sal Buscema” when I see this cover. In spite of Sal doing plenty…
WEB 007
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….
