when i first stopped reading current issues of Spiderman during all the clone saga stuff, i hunted down reprints of the very first stories in the Marvel Masterworks.
the writing may be a bit dated by today's standards and some of the dialog can be 2 dimensional, but i just love the look of the first appearances of the characters!
the classics really had such a charm to them!
i sometimes forget that he used to have webbing under his arms?
it was cool when McFarlane brought the under-arm webbing back for a while, but it quickly got ditched again.
