The death of a hero, eh? Seems extremely unlikely that a New Warrior would die in Web of Spider-Man Annual 8, and I rather doubt it’s Spider-Man, so… Hm. Same gang as…

TAC Annual 12
Who, indeed. I sure don’t know. I’m a little surprised it’s the same team as last issue. If Scott McDaniel produced all 4 of these while also drawing Daredevil, my hat’s off…
ASM Annual 26
“A solo adventure of Solo.” Who thought that was funny? In 1990 or 1991, Marvel got really into these annual crossover events. It worked best with the X-Titles, since crossing them over…

ASM 346
Oh, Erik. Why must you do this? I think I’ve mentioned before that Erik Larsen has said he added the giant, distended jaw, the tongue and drool because he didn’t like Venom…
