Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-man #49by Stern, Mooney and Patterson
This was again another fine read from Roger Stern with solid support from Jim Mooney. I think Bruce Patterson's inks suit him.
The Smuggler is a fairly mundane villain and even Stern reconises the fact that his name doesn't tell you much about him. It tells you what he does. Thus Spidey is constantly saying that he's surprised about how strong the Smugglar is.
Still it was a good issue with the highlight being Spideys predicament at the end of the issue. He's managed to web-up the Smuggler but now he's run out of web fluid and realises that he can't put him down because he'll get away. Not your usual cliffhanger.
Rating 7.5/10
