jcovey's review against another edition
5.0
After slogging through the original Spider-Man comics I approached this thick tome with some trepidation, but by gumbo this is *it*. This is why Marvel comics became the juggernaut that it did. The original Spider-Mans had a historical novelty that kept them from every becoming truly boring, but just barely, these comics feel as fresh as the day they were written. They could come out now and still they would be a riproaring good time. The breathtakingly dynamic art, the utterly bizarre flights of fancy, the character conflcits that are childlike in that best, most genuine way. Every clash fought over hilariously simplistic rationales, yet always fueled by bleeding raw emotion.

Superb 60's comics reading!
Doctor Doom, Puppet Master, Mole Man, The Thinker, Skrulls and Super Skrull (not to mention the Sub-Mariner) make this a highly enjoyable read!
