@Mark-Go for it. I have a lot of fond memories of them. I mean it had the two Spidey/ Superman teams up in it too.
I remember the oversized Sinister Six reprint of ASM #1…really good fond memories of these books too!
I got one of the treasuries for Christmas a few years ago. It was the one that reprinted the 6 Arm Saga. Gorgeous book. I dunno if I’m gonna buy this, but it’ll be nice to have Bradshaw’s art that size.
I might have to do a Cobwebs article on the old Treasury Editions in the future.
I wonder if all the trades for this title will be in that format.
I loved these as a kid. I remember having to talk my mom into spending a whole $2 for a comic. Spidey and the Hulk at the 1980 Winter Olympics was my all time favorite. Here’s a great review of that book.
