This was amazing.
A compilation of Spectacular Spider-Man, collecting issues 53-74.
Let me put into context why I love it.
First printed in 1976.
My pre-teen to teen years were the 80's and the style of comics then are what made the biggest impact on me and are what I like.
Marvel in the 1960's to mid 1970's was all story, tons of text, not much art.
Marvel in the early/mid 1990's became all about the art and the story was lost.
From mid-1970's to mid-1990's Marvel got it right - they focused on the art but never lost track of the importance of story.
Which brings me to this book.
Amazing art, amazing story, great characters, everything done almost perfectly.
Loved it.
