Welcome to the Spider-Man Back-Issue review area of the site! Here I will list the most recently added reviews of back-issue titles that Spider-Man has appeared in over his long history with a little description of each linked to that particular issue in the Comic Gallery. The review will be just that, a review. Not an extremely long re-telling of the entire comic or a page by page account of the comic but a review with some opinions thrown in. These reviews are meant to supplement your back-issue collecting and reading enjoyment and not meant as a substitute for obtaining those issues. I will add information on where you can possibly obtain much less expensive reprints of that particular issue where applicable so you can enjoy these classic Spider-Man storylines. Although there will be no definite
pattern on what issues will be reviewed and added to the list, I will
try to add reviews that are somewhat related to the previous ones...A
certain villain or character, or a storyline may take center stage here.
If you would like to see reviews of a particular issue of
storyline, please just send me an Eric |
