RIP Gerry Conway. Gerry was a legitimate friend of our podcast. Always immensely generous and knowledgeable. @amazingspidertalk.com got to speak with him last year and it was an absolute gift to get one more conversation with him. Truly a legend in every sense of the word.

More Frank Miller work on Spider-Man — granted an Annual so it doesn’t really count, but Doctor Strange and Doctor Doom so that’s cool. My copy of Amazing Spider-Man Annual #14

I’ve never been the biggest fan of Jack O’Lantern as a villain, but I’m certainly a fan of this Frank Miller cover. Then you got a Roger Stern script and Shooter on pencils? Wild! My copy of Spectacular Spider-Man #56

Classic Silver Age Spider-Man and a gorgeous Steve Ditko cover even if this comic has no first appearances of note. My copy of Amazing Spider-Man #21:

Skottie Young variants for special edition comics like this are almost always an insta-buy for me. And this one is probably one of my favorite Sinister Six images. My copy of Amazing Spider-Man #900 Skottie Young Variant:

Definitely had a moment of 90s nostalgia with this cover thinking a first cover appearance of a Spider-Man/Juggernaut hybrid would be highly collectible. Alas, that doesn’t seem to be the case. My copy of Amazing Spider-Man (v6) #70

I don’t think this is the comic the original Sam Raimi Spider-Man movie was paying homage to with the Roosevelt Tram scene, but it would be funny if it was. What’s your favorite NYC landmark in a Spidey comic? My copy of Web of Spider-Man #21

Watch @chasingasmblog.bsky.social and my short review of Radioactive Spider-Man #1-3 by @thatjoekelly.bsky.social and Kev Walker, wherein Peter wrestles with the decision to let his mutated Aunt die. Sounds silly, but it turned out to be quite the emotional ride! youtu.be/pEk-oT4iyik

It’s hard to get overly excited by a Ghost story in really any comic series, but this is still a pretty cool cover from volume 3. My copy of Amazing Spider-Man (v3) #16:

The first appearance of Hammerhead is probably better remembered from a visual perspective as a really creative Doc Ock cover from John Romita. My copy of Amazing Spider-Man #113

What started as primarily a Spider-Man/Human Torch book soon became much more than that. In addition to other heroes, we also got lots of early appearances from villains like Morbius the Living Vampire. My copy of Marvel Team-Up #3

We don’t get a ton of Spider-Man/Inhumans crossovers — especially not in the pages of Spectacular Spider-Man during the Bronze Age. So, have fun with this. My copy of Spectacular Spider-Man #11

Mark Ginocchio @chasingasmblog.bsky.social · 04/01/2026

Here we have a comic paying homage to two of my favorite ASM stories: Venom Island from the early 1990s (peak Erik Larsen) and the alien suit saga from DeFalco/Frenz. My copy of Venom (v4) #24

Mark Ginocchio @chasingasmblog.bsky.social · 02/01/2026

Another standout from the “let Todd cook” era of comics — just some gnarly monster stuff with teeth and blood. My copy of Spider-Man #3:

Cully Hammer pulls the ultimate fakeout here — an iconic Kraven the Hunter cover that I forget actually isn’t Ryan Ottley. My copy of Amazing Spider-Man (v5) #16

Finishing 2025 with this wonder of the world — the first appearance of Mysterio. Mysterio has long been one of my favorite rogues, even as retcons and what not attempt to silly-fy him. Who’s your favorite Ditko villain? My copy of Amazing Spider-Man #13:

Early 80s Amazing Spider-Man doesn’t get talked about much, but it’s packed with interesting Spider-Man-plus-one pairings. Moon Knight here is a great example — pretty sure this is the first ASM crossover with this then new phenom. My copy of Amazing Spider-Man #220:

One of the strengths of Radioactive Spider-Gwen is its world-building through style. Rico Renzi’s color palette sets the tone, and Robbi Rodriguez’s angular linework gives this universe its own rhythm. My copy of Radioactive Spider-Gwen #6
