Last issue’s bag had a piece of tape on it so long removing the comic was a genuine challenge. This one has an itty bitty piece of tape barely holding it closed….

TAC 209
Time to close out Steven Grant’s strangely short career as writer of Spectacular. This month, credit goes to Grant & Buscema for Story & Art, with Bob Sharen coloring. On the splash,…
TAC 208
This is maybe the least Sal Buscema-looking drawing since he stopped letting other people ink him. Very interesting. Inside, we pick up where we left off. Spidey quickly learns even his biggest…
