The stakes on this cover are so obvious that Spidey feels like he’s overselling it. What, like Herc would just drop it? I don’t know why there’s a sticker on there saying…

ASM 297
For the record, I have no memory of buying or ever reading ASM 296 & 297. I think I’ve had them for many years, but I don’t really know. Some evidence suggests…
ASM 296
That cover copy feels really perfunctory. “Force of Arms.” What’s that got to do with this weird image? I’m also very interested by the “1985” next to John Byrne’s signature. This cover…
TAC 136

ASM 291

ASM 290
Goodness, the big question! It’s 1987 now, and David Michelinie is taking the reigns of ASM. He comes off a run on Web of Spider-Man, and we’ve already seen him do some…
