One of 77. I’ma keep it real witchu, chief: I do not expect to agree with that caption! Let’s have a look at what was going on in some other Marvel comics…

One of 77. Still Claremont & Byrne again, although now Byrne is being butchered by an inker credited as “R. Villamonte.” I note with some interest the library-looking “Mar 21” stamped over…

Spider-Man: Mayhem In Manhattan
Sorta half way through this set comes this oddity. As the remit of this blog is obviously comic books, one would think a novel outside my purview. And beyond that, one would…
