Calligrapher: Jim Novak

Originally published: August 1980
First eh fashion industry, and now Broadway. Spidey’s really taking an interest in the arts. Unfortunately, though, this battle with Mesmero was once again a complete misfire. And what was with that drug dealer that kept showing [...]

Originally published: May 1980
The Frightful Four, with Spider-Man held captive, attack the Fantastic Four.
Surprisingly, this continuation of the story in Spectacular 42 was even worse than the first part. Once again it was almost entirely one big fight scene; no character [...]

Originally published: April 1981
Another disappointing Dazzler issue. This one consisted almost entirely of a fight between about a million heroes and a bunch of demons called forth by the Enchantress. It was really boring and, even though the winning blow [...]

Colors: Sharen
Originally published: April 1980

And Men Shall Call Him… Octopus!
Author: Bill Mantlo
Artists: Rich Buckler, Jim Mooney
Letters: Jim Novak
Colors: Bob Sharen
Originally published: 1979
This is a continuation of sorts of the story in ASM Annual 13. Here, Spidey fights Doc Ock some more. The issue as a whole largely fails, due to lackluster writing by Mantlo and incredible boring and occasionally [...]
