As if Spider-Man hasn’t gone through enough trauma recently, now he has to do this guaranteed-to-be-stupid story. Once again, shout out the guy at the local flea market for putting a single…
ASM 388
Annuals, of course, are 64 pages, and expected to feature 3-4 stories. Big deal anniversary issues are usually oversized, maybe double-sized/annual sized, and contain several stories, with at least the excuse of…

SM 26
No idea on this hologram. Romita, Sr. maybe? Could be Mike Zeck. No idea. Last issue promised this one would reunite the DeFalco/Frenz team with Erik Larsen inking. I don’t know why…
