Time for a break from current comics and back to reading some of my older Spidey comics. It's been some time since I've made time for this and it's nice to be back.
Amazing Spider-man #207 (AUG 1980) by Denny O'Neil and Jim Mooney probably isn't the greatest issue to begin with. It sort of just happened. In fact, not much happened. Spidey gets an offer from Mesmero to join his act (for money) but realises that he's up to no good ( murdering his critics) and so puts him down (in 2 pages). Not very exciting.
Average issue 5.5/10
Amazing Spider-man #208 was much better. This is because it was by Denny O'Neil and John Romita Jr. and is JR Jr's first work on Spidey I think. Although the story wasn't much better than #207, it is still cool seeing JR Jr's early artwork. I also really like his cover. It's a shame that some of it is spoilt by that big banner at the top!
Rating 7.5/10.
