Spectacular Spider-Man (1980’s)

Posted on by EHT Comics

Al Milgrom took over scripting as well as art on the title with issue #90 (May 1984) and worked on it through #100 (March 1985). Milgrom imbued the book with a more whimsical tone, for example, pitting Spider-Man against The Spot, an enemy so ridiculous he gave Spider-Man fits of laughter. Jim Owsley, then editor of the Spider-Man books, disapproved of this approach and had Milgrom replaced as writer by newcomer Peter David in 1985. David and artist Rich Buckler, said Owsley, had the series “focusing on stories with a serious, ‘grown-up’ tone and more complex themes”. The most notable story arc of the David/Buckler era is “The Death of Jean DeWolff” (#107–110, Oct. 1985–Jan. 1986), in which Spider-Man’s ally, NYC Police Captain Jean DeWolff – a supporting character in the Spider-Man comics since 1976 – is murdered by the vigilante/serial killer the Sin-Eater. This multi-part story guest-starred Daredevil. The “Kraven’s Last Hunt” storyline by writer J.M. DeMatteis and artists Mike Zeck and Bob McLeod crossed over into Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man #131 and 132.

Spider-Man Unlimited V1 (1993)

Posted on by EHT Comics

Originally announced under the title Spider-Man Giant Size, the 1993 series was a quarterly series with double-length stories, which at the time was notable for being printed on glossy stock paper (a practice discontinued in later issues before being adopted by the entire Marvel line in the 2000s). Earlier issues played a part in Spider-Man crossovers; the first issue was the first part of Maximum Carnage and the second issue was the last part of Maximum Carnage. Issues #7-14 formed part of the Clone Saga. Later in the series, the focus shifted to stand-alone stories. Ron Lim penciled the lead story in the first 8 issues of the book. Most of the later issues were written by Christopher Golden and drawn by Joe Bennett.

Posted on by EHT Comics

XYZ Comics —“The Last Word in Comics!”— was first published in 1972. This classic underground comic book leads off with “Cubist Be Bop Comics,” a stream-of-consciousness tour de force lasting eight-pages. “Girls, Girls, Girls” follows, Robert Crumb’s analytic look at female anatomy that results from reducio absurdem. Several short pieces featuring Bo Bo Bolinski, “Comical Comics,” Boingy Baxter, John Q. Public and the tongue-in-cheek nostalgia of “Remember Keep on Truckin’?” are followed by the autobiographical “The Many Faces of R. Crumb.” XYZ ends withRobert’s “Fuzzy the Bunny,” a thinly-disguised piece about his older brother Charles, who suffered from mental illness (as seen in theTerry Zwigoff documentary Crumb).
