It's good to be the King...
In this episode, Mark and Dan talk about the return of Gerry Conway to the world of Spider-Man, as he took over writing duties on both Spectacular Spider-Man and Web of Spider-Man, after 13 years away from The Amazing Spider-Man. There, he would introduce new classic villains, like Tombstone, and tell a compelling yarn for over three years and 80 comics.
If you want to read along with their conversation, they talk specifically about Spectacular Spider-Man issues #137-174, Spectacular Spider-Man Annual #8-11, Web of Spider-Man #35-70, and Web of Spider-Man Annual #5 and 6. These haven’t been collected in many places, though there is an Omnibus collecting the first half of these stories. A smattering of them are available on the Marvel Unlimited app and in the store, but many of these will only be found, for the time being, as physical copies.
But, their discussion of these stories wouldn’t be complete without a visit from the man himself, back for his 10th appearance on the Amazing Spider-Talk, they are joined by Gerry Conway!
