Back in the '80s Marvel Tales was a great wee mag. The reason being it started reprinting the Lee/Ditko Spider-Man strips in sequence from the very beginning - along with covers - which made it a very nice catch indeed. Sure, some covers were slightly amended (even flipped) to accommodate the barcode box, but that would've gone largely unnoticed unless one owned the original '60s mags to compare them against. A mere 41 issues later the saga was complete - or around three-and-a-half years, time-wise - with the series then continuing with the Lee/Romita strips (covers not shown here) without missing a beat.
The title was first published in 1964 and came to an end in 1994 after 30 years - not a bad run for a reprint mag, and one that many a failed new series would've envied. Anyway, I've shown all these covers in several blog posts some years ago, but now it's time for the 'omnibus edition' so that you can see them all together in one place. All you have to do is look and enjoy - though a comment would be appreciated should you feel so compelled. Did you buy this comic back in the day? Do you still have them? Or were you injudicious enough not to have bothered buying them when you could? (There you go - that's given you plenty to work with - get typing!)
