Legendary Spider-Man Writer Roger Stern is our guest this month. In the 1980s he created some of the best story lines including the Hobgoblin origin, the Juggernaut two-parter, and “The Kid Who Collects Spider-Man.” He is returning to the “Amazing Spider-Man” title for one issue. We learn a bit more about his return during the interview.

I admit, if Mr. Stern does return to Spidey, I’ll give it a shot with some trepidation. Can he top his first tenure on the book? While he’s not my favorite writer per se, his Spidey was a helluva lotta fun! DeMatteis did two wonderful runs on Spectacular Spider-Man, perhpaps Mr.Stern can do the same!
YES, YES, YES, YES, YES! GREAT!
