+++++++++++++ Oh, how I hate the resurrection of Norman Osborn. But, at least it ended the Clone Saga. And, of course, there's JR JR's gorgeous art! Speaking of the Clone Saga, this is required reading for anyone interested in the behind-the-scenes story: http://lifeofreillyarchives.blogspot.com/2008/03/part-1.html

I first met the story in its revised version for the annual, so that remains "my" versio. No doubt, the original cover was a great looker and the art by Romita, Sr. must be amazing in larger format. I have to search for the original edition, sooner or later (and no, having the Italian one ISN'T the same!).

Life of Reilly is a great source for infos about the '90s Spider-Man! Mr. Greenberg did an excellent job (but hey, he was there, so I couldn'expect for anything less)..

-----
The problem with the resurrection of Norman Osborn and his being the
mastermind of the Clone Saga is that it opened the way for Bendis to
turn him into the Lex Luthor of the Marvel Universe. I'm not sure the
end of the Clone Saga was worth that.

 •• That was my return to Spider-Man, after a break that began around 1964. When I saw this cover on the spinner rack my first thought was "They're killing Aunt May?" The issue itself was a bit of a disappointment, since I had no idea who Gwen Stacy was, and had only the dimmest memories of the Green Goblin.

This is the first comic I remember asking for. I had some my Dad would get for me, but I pulled this one off the rack at a party store.As a 4 and a 1/2 year old, this one had it all. Action cover, a GREAT Spider-Man vs Doc Ock issue inside, and a Spider-Ham back up. I read this one quite often back then.

The Amazing Spider-Man Annual 2 has the Spider-Man image that is how I always think of the character. It appeared in the corner box (reversed, I believe) of the old Marvel Tales I bought as a kid. The first was Spider-Man 50 and I wasn't aware it wasn't "new" (though it did seem weird to me that the letters page had comments on the issue I was actually reading!)
I have fond memories of Peter Parker Spider-Man 75 because it was one of the first comics I purchased when I moved to New York City. For space and budgetary concerns, I had decided to stop buying comics as regularly as I had before graduating college, but I wanted to see the climax of a not-so-great period for the character -- mostly because it would restore Peter Parker as Spider-Man and when I saw the Romita Jr. cover, I couldn't resist.

McFarland Spider-Man! Man, I see what JB must have been excited about in McFarland when I look at that McFarland cover.
If that guy had really learned to draw, he would've been GREAT. He seems to want to blend Golden and Wrightson and Byrne/Austin. I'm up for that recipe!
But the underlying drawing is so undisciplined that I cannot say I've ever enjoyed reading a McFarland comic book.

Spider-Man is one of my all time favorite characters. As a very young kid I had seen issues of Amazing Spider-Man in the comic book rack. I always picked it up to give it a quick look, since not being able to buy the comic. But when I did buy my first Spider-Man, it started with this one. Talk about a nine year old trying to find back issues back then...
