Electro!

Amazing Spider-man #228 (May 1982) ws a fill-in issue by Jan Strnad and Rick Leonardi.

As fill issues go it was one of the better ones certainly helped by a better than normal art job by Leonardi. Perhaps it was Dave Simons' inks that raised the standard. The art certainly created the mood of this offbeat tale. (The cover was right for once!)

And as the cover states it was an unusual tale of Murders being carried out by thousands of Spiders. Of course, of hero, gets involved, to sort things out.

I enjoyed this, but am looking forward to more Stern/JR. Jr. work next issue!

Rating 7/10

Spectacular Spider-man #66 was by Mantlo, Hannigan and Mooney.

This was a good issue as Electro goes a bit mad after escaping from Ryker's Island. There was some nice touches with Jonah reminiscent of early Amazing issues and Hannigan's art had a bit of early Ditko feel to it as well this issue.

A great cover - one of my favourites on this title for quite some time.

Rating 7/10. So not a bad month for Spidey comics back in 1982.
