More Frank Miller work on Spider-Man — granted an Annual so it doesn’t really count, but Doctor Strange and Doctor Doom so that’s cool.

Goblin Nation will forever earn the unrealized potential award for a story that was just set up to be a stone cold classic and was instead, just ok.

I’ve never been the biggest fan of Jack O’Lantern as a villain, but I’m certainly a fan of this Frank Miller cover. Then you got a Roger Stern script and Shooter on pencils? Wild!

Classic Silver Age Spider-Man and a gorgeous Steve Ditko cover even if this comic has no first appearances of note.

Skottie Young variants for special edition comics like this are almost always an insta-buy for me. And this one is probably one of my favorite Sinister Six images.

Definitely had a moment of 90s nostalgia with this cover thinking a first cover appearance of a Spider-Man/Juggernaut hybrid would be highly collectible. Alas, that doesn’t seem to be the case.

I don’t think this is the comic the original Sam Raimi Spider-Man movie was paying homage to with the Roosevelt Tram scene, but it would be funny if it was.
What’s your favorite NYC landmark in a Spidey comic?

Watch @chasingasmblog.bsky.social and my short review of Radioactive Spider-Man #1-3 by @thatjoekelly.bsky.social and Kev Walker, wherein Peter wrestles with the decision to let his mutated Aunt die. Sounds silly, but it turned out to be quite the emotional ride!

It’s hard to get overly excited by a Ghost story in really any comic series, but this is still a pretty cool cover from volume 3.

The first appearance of Hammerhead is probably better remembered from a visual perspective as a really creative Doc Ock cover from John Romita.

What started as primarily a Spider-Man/Human Torch book soon became much more than that. In addition to other heroes, we also got lots of early appearances from villains like Morbius the Living Vampire.

We don’t get a ton of Spider-Man/Inhumans crossovers — especially not in the pages of Spectacular Spider-Man during the Bronze Age. So, have fun with this.
