My collection starts in the mid-80s for the most part. I do have the three issue Doc Ock story where George Stacy dies though.

I sold almost all of my 70's Spidey comics, except 96-100 and a my issues of "Spidey Super Stories".

There's just something beautiful about the Mad Thinker talking in four word sentences.

My collection of Spidey starts in the mid eighties but i do have an amazing spider-man where he does battle with power-man.

Most of the seventies classics were reprinted in Marvel Tales in the eighties and I have a few of them.

Was the 70's Spider-Man better than the 80's Spider-Man??

I am biased (because I have more eighties comics) but I'd have to say the eighties were far superior than the seventies, or for that matter the nineties as far as Spidey is concerned.

1976 is the year that I started reading Marvel, so yes, I have some of the 70s Spiderman. The image that stays with me, even today, is Spectacular Spiderman #5 with Spiderman fighting both the Hitman and the Vulture .The cover has a Spiderman dangling limply from his web with the Vulture coming at him and Hitman has Spiderman in his sights. Just a great cover!

80's Spider-Man kicks 70's Spider-Man's ass.

I just read this last night in my new Essentials! That cover impressed me, too.

My ASM run is pretty much solid back to #121 (missing #130, 132, 134 & ...sigh...#129) and I have a few earlier.

I've also got a pretty solid Spec run including #1 and a full Marvel Team-Up run. I love the seventies stuff -although an awful lot of the 80s stuff is pretty good too!

I own them all (Amazing from 43 up, complete spec, Giant Size, MTU), AND was fortunate enough to purchase them at 1987 back issue prices ($1 a book in most cases).

Except for Spec 27 (1st Miller-written DD appearance, i think) that one i forked over $10 for.

Actually Miller didn't write Spec 27, but he did pencil it.

In the 70's, Spider-Man teamed up with the original cast of Saturday Night Live... back when it was funny.


In the 80's, he teamed with Iceman and Firestar in the greatest Marvel animated program ever in history.


It's a tough call, but I have to say the 70's.


Punisher and Bill Murray > Hobgoblin and the Spot

Old school 70's Punisher would steal Hobgoblin's milk money and give him a Purple Nurple.

The 80's Spidey comics were far superior. By that time Spiderman figured out that maybe he SHOULD start fighting back against girls. (He' got his butt HANDED to him by The Cat, Medusa, and Black Widow in a a few very stupid fights.) Also 70's Spiderman seemed to get a woody jobbing to wimps like Ka'zar and Daredevil. Both guys he should seriously tear apart in a matter of seconds.

Though the best matchup in that ish was John Belushi vs. The Silver Samurai!

1) ASM had only 1 artist (except for 2 fill-ins) from issues 126 to 185---the late, great Ross Andru.

2) We get the classic Goblin/Stacy epic.

3) The Punisher.

4) Harry takes up the Goblin mantle.

5) The Jackal and the original clone stories.

6) Plus, we were still getting cool-looking Kane and Romita covers, to boot.
