Set Description:
This is a beautiful hidden gem of a series that should never have been cancelled!
What started off as a part of marvel's $.99 line turned out to be one of the best new books of the 90's. Of course what would you expect from Kurt Buseik?
Based on the original Amazing Spider-Man run, this title was exactly what it stays it was - it was the untold stories of Spidey that took place between the issues and panels of the original series. Since then there have been many issues and mini's that have gone back to show us what "really" happened, but this was very new and not a 1-off! This was a monthly book that had the look and feel of the original series.
It was also around the time when clones were running rampant, and having a book that took us back to what was good, easy, and enjoyable was about as good as it gets. We didn't just get old standby villains either as Buseik gave us brand new villains to add to Spidey's rogues gallery and the Marvel Universe.
Actually, that's why I started this set. I'm chasing (well... one of the things I'm chasing anyway) are characters that have 1st appearances in Spider-Man books. This title doesn't have that many but there are a few so that's what I've got here.
However I STRONGLY suggest that if you have not read this title and consider yourself a Spider-file that you get to this series ASAP!
Thanks for looking. Webs away!!!!!!!!!!
