Great review! But I think the late Joe Rosen deserves a tip of the old ink pen for such a great lettering job here on a rather challenging assignment!!

Thanks, Josh. Joe Rosen and his brother Sam were great letterers and very modest about it.

What about Spec. Spider-Man annual 14? Was that put together by Sal and J.M. as well?

Great question! They do collaborate on one story in that annual, but DeMatteis shares writing duties on that story with Tom Lyle, Ann Nocenti, and D. Blaise. Buscema is also inked by Jerry Bingham on that story.

I wholeheartedly agree that this was one of the best Spider-Man runs, ever. Loved it when it came out, love it still. I'm glad you devoted so much attention to it. I also wish Marvel had left Harry as the Green Goblin instead of bringing back Norman!
