[covering Amazing Spider-man #133-137. Which all have awesome Ross Ardru art. I don’t know why this guy never got more fame. The way he arranges his panels without borders reminds me of a Gene Colan, and the sleekness and blankness of his linework lends itself to humor really well.

And they were at least 48 pages and oversized while reprinting marvel classics with a brand new feature, most often Captain Britain!?!?!
