Maybe it wasn't totally the art, but the books didn't look attractive when I was a kid (single digits) in the 80's. Seeing them in dollar bins didn't make me want to look through and when I did, it might have been tainted with looking at the new stuff. I can't say that I was old enough at the time to appreciate much. I liked JR JR growing up, but didn't know better. I guess the real reason I didn't like them was because it seemed an old style art but not old style writing, so I couldn't really get into it. I also think that around Mcfarlane I was a bit older and it seemed modern. if that makes any kind of senses Yeah, it does. I get the old style comment. If you put it next to the stylised McFarlane art it can look 'dated'. I like dated though, in most aspects of life. And I'm as far away from stylised as you'll get!

I signed up for a subscripton of Spiderman Classics when I was young, which is like Marvel Tales, reprints but specifically Spiderman. It had Stan writing, which was first appearances of characters so I felt like I was getting the "full" story. Amazing Spiderman around #170 seemed, when I read it, to be in the middle of what was going on and I was to young to connect the dots. I'm sure the guy has done other stuff, but specifically on the Spiderman, it left a bad taste in my mouth.

1950's war comics Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I just guess in mid 70-s the teenage critic in me was spoiled by the Marvel reprints I still bought Spider-man because hey.. that was the top comic to buy!! but i really wasn't captivated by the stories or the Ross Andru artwork from the ASM comics i bought off the racks issues in 150 - 170 range...... when the price rose to 35 cents i quit because i thought they were getting too expensive !! I really liked the "Monsters on the Prowl" and other Atlas monster reprints much better !! i almost never bought FF back as a kid because they always were continued and invariably i would miss an issue and be out of the loop i specifically remember me having (or was it my cousin?) a Hulk 181 brand new, but it was during a week long camping trip and it got destroyed the first comic i ever remember buying off the rack was in 4th grade, an ASM 102 for a quarter ,..my allowance then was 35 cents a week FoggyNelson and ADAMANTIUM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at the London Comic Fair once and one dealer had about 20 of them, all NM for £5 each. I bought a few. I seem to recall something about a warehouse find on this issue....? letsgrumble 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kav Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Spider Man sure had a lot of animal based villains. vultures, octopi, gibbons, scorpions, cats, chameleons, lizards, rhinos, he was essentially fighting a zoo more or less. 1950's war comics, letsgrumble and FoggyNelson 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had an interesting storyline in the Straczynski run of issues where it was explained this coincidence. It was actually pretty enjoyable.
