This is still my favorite anniversary issue of all time. I had read Spider-Man on and off for a few years, but starting with #194 I started collecting every one. And yes, off a spinner rack at a convenience store! Issue #200 was a great finish to a storyline that started a couple years before with Len Wein. It was too bad that Marv’s run was so short. It was what got me hooked into ASM and I have fond memories of reading this story.
Marv Wolfman is one of the first real comic legends who found he wasnt tailor-made for Spidey, but at the same time, he wrote one of the best anniversary issues of all time, even if it sort of take a leaf out of Joey Chill’s demise from the Batman comics.
Another milestone here is this issue marked the first time Aunt May was brought back from the dead…and in a way that…made sense.
I walked to the grocery store every day for a week and a half waiting for that issue to come out. Still holds up after all these years.
Yeah definitely a classic moment.
Very remniscent of the Silver Age confrontation between Batman and Joe Chill
one of my favorite Spidey stories of all time, absolute classic…nice work Bertone…
