90 cents! Really getting this story for a bargain. Scott Hanna pitches in on inks this month. We open on Dr. Strange, apparently having gone through some things lately but recently restored…

75 cents! What a deal! I’ve said it before, but the possibilities opened up to letterers by desktop publishing in the late 90s were a gift and a curse. Look at that…
SM 87
And now we’re just quoting the Beatles. And presumably rehashing ASM 33. I remember this cover, but not the issue. Spider-Man Must Lift A Heavy Thing may be pretty well-trodden ground, but…
