Tarantula appearance. Bought for $195 on a whim from eBay, just to round out the set. I was saving for comic con 2023 and had sold something less important, although I should have paid PayPal first then bought this book. Argh, I guess I saw the funds available and it short circuited my thinking. I wanted to remember my mistake, but as for this slab, there are a lot of covers with the Tarantula sprawled across in a kick with those stinging toe boots! Glad to add one more to my sets, collection and registry! Keeping realistic with a big #1 issue to keep #64 company! Tarantula was kind of a big player, especially in the Bronze Age of the 70's. I believe that they wanted to play off of the agility that the Spider-man was known for, and yet, Kraven the Hunter wasn't as new, but he was the 1st real villain like that Spidey faced that was similar in ability. The Tarantula now has his turn all throughout the 70's and beyond. A long run, but very agile, he needs his workout!
Complete with a back cover picture of Fluffy! Gabriel Iglesias, circa 2024! Shirts of commemoration! Bonding with my brother and taking in the local venues. Heritage on the brain of all cultures with the Tarantula speaking up in Latin style, comics! Be it the funny pages or the stand-up kind, it takes all sorts to get along!

Origin and 1st Appearance of the Cloak and Dagger of Comics! I remember watching the movie of the same name at private school, in the summer at band camp. Oh, if we could turn back time to simpler and more humble beginnings, and our heart to that which is imagination. I remember exclaiming, "Is the movie about the comic?" LOL. There has since been a TV show and much to everyone's delight, they showed their powers off fairly well. I tried watching, but it struck me too much as a bit of a Soap Opera. I get that they were trying to build tension, but it felt a bit too much like the "Twilight Series" to me. I'll give credit to the comics for good form. With an awesome cover, are these new characters friend or foe? Teamwork seems to be their hook at making their career work. Wonderful 9.6 with white pages, I'll take it as the ball bounces.
Complete with a back cover picture of issue #243, that includes a "goblin" of sorts returning to defend his "good" name as the goblin! Along with the Chameleon messing with Spidey, to offset reality and his Spider-Senses. Some good reads in this series, so give them a shot, for the "real and spectacular!"
