*Marvel: Always a very popular issue, Jazzy Johnny Romita really excelled himself with the cover of Amazing Spider-Man #66, one of my favourites of his tenure on the wall-crawler. Appropriately enough for a special effects artist and illusionist, Mysterio is one of the most visually striking of Spidey’s Rogues’ Gallery, and this great-looking issue does not disappoint. A glossy cover, unmarked but for a pence stamp and a narrow dust shadow along the right edge (without which it would be a higher grade). A couple of small spine ticks in the masthead box are barely visible. Square corners, firm, tight staples and supple white to off-white pages.
