POT-LUCK SPIDER-MAN COMICS WEEKLY COVER GALLERY - PART ONE...


Images copyright MARVEL COMICS

Time now for a super selection of SPIDER-MAN COMICS
WEEKLY covers, plus a few later incarnations of the title (which
you'll see in part two).  Sorry to go on about this, but - wow - 40
years old in most cases, I can hardly believe it.  I don't even think
of myself as that old - until I catch a glimpse of my reflection
in a shop window, that is.

I'd first read the THOR tale reprinted in SMCW #s 123-124
in its original American edition (#158) in 1968 or '69, but I never
got to see the wrap-up story until it was reprinted in the U.K. Spidey
title (#s 125-126) in 1975.  Of course, nowadays, 6 or 7 years is no
time at all to people my age, but back then it wasn't too far off half
my life away and seemed like a far-distant era.  Around 10 years
later ('85 or '86), I re-acquired Thor #158 and obtained #159,
and finally got to see the conclusion in colour.

Anyway, why bore you with my reminiscences when you've
doubtless got your own to relive.  Why not share them with your
fellow Criv-ites and perhaps inspire them to do likewise?  Go
on - be the first to take the plunge and spread some joy.


Even in British comics, eh?  Who'da thunk it?
