American Update: Spider-Mania! Amazing Spider-Man selected issues from #51-98!
*Marvel: We cover the second half of Spider-Man’s first hundred issues this update, with thirty new listings in the sequence in a mixture of grades. Highlights include clashes with the Kingpin, Vulture, Doc Ock, Shocker, Silvermane, Lizard, Chameleon, the Beetle, the groovy Green Goblin, and the ever-kuddly Kangaroo; while on the heroic side of the equation, there are guest-appearances by Ka-Zar, Madam Medusa, the Black Widow, the Prowler, and Iceman… who all ended up fighting Spidey, too! That boy just didn’t seem to get along with anybody… Stan Lee continued to script for most of this run, with the illustration handled occasionally by Gil Kane, but primarily by John Romita, whose background in romance stories meant that he handled the action with as much gusto as Kane, but devoted perhaps a little more of his attention to the lovely ladies, Gwen and Mary Jane, who populated Peter’s life – and a generation of readers was grateful!
