American Update: The Good Doctor Collection/Spider-Mania: Amazing #53-56, an Epic Encounter with Doc Ock
*Marvel: One of Spidey’s major foes featured in a fondly-remembered and sprawling storyline that ran from Amazing Spider-Man #53-56, wherein Doc Ock becomes a tenant of Aunt May and Spidey loses his memory and joins up with him and a whole lot more happens too. John Romita, always a great cover designer, pulled out all the stops on these issues to produce some lasting fan favourites. The copies from the Good Doctor Collection have much quality to offer. More from the GDC next week!
