Amazing Spider-man # 206 This issue sees the conclusion to the JJJ sub-plot that had been running in Amazing over the last few months. On a visit to the Bugle, Pete works out that something is wrong as he and everybody else it seems is losing their temper. He traces the cause to a water tower opposite JJJ's window where he finds a transmitter operated by Jonas Harrow (the villain responsible for Hammerhead amongst others). He destroys the transmitter and eventually frees Jameson and defeats Harrow.
This is a good solid issue and a satisfying end to a long running story. Byrne's art is good and I assume that Marv Wolfman had a hand in the plot although the full credit goes to Stern. Something must have gone on in the Spider-man office around this time with Wolfman leaving and Micheline and Stern scripting single issues before Denny O'Neil takes over. What's more peculiar is that Marv Wolfman scripts this months PPSM rather than Stern. Strange goings on indeed.
Rating for this issue 7.5/10
