I have a vague memory of the guy at my LCS excitedly explaining the significance of the lack of the CCA stamp on these three issues.  I'm sure it wasn't just a sales pitch as it was already in my pile at the checkout.  This book was only two or three years old when I bought it so the memory of Stan's going ahead with the story despite the controversy was still pretty fresh.  MCS says this move led to the changes in the Code that allowed for this kind of story (drugs) and more horror content, including the kind of characters we'll see in another handful of issues.

I loved this when I was 12. It was my first look at the initial issues. From ebay images.

Former copy...pretty perfect copy... :cloud9:

That is definitely a gorgeous copy and structurally/visually perfect in my eyes too! 

As a kid growing up, the non-approved drug issues were highly prized and sought after by many Spidey collectors like myself, and also desired for their great covers.  The gritty, dark cover of #96 is a book I really admire and has a cool childhood significance for me :cloud9:
