A caption on page one notes this ends Gerry Conway’s 3rd year on the title. They say it’s all downhill from here. I wonder if they knew 149 would be his last…

ASM 145
The Scorpion tends to sting a lot of times per appearance, in my experience. No mistaking that Gil Kane cover. After the wild end of last issue, things don’t seem to have…
ASM 343

TAC 215
Our 3rd issue of TAC in this era is our first by its new regular-esque creative team. Sal Buscema is still doing all the line art, joined by colorist Glynis Oliver, previously…
