At the time, I really liked the Amazing Spider-man 400 cover, but then again I was also 12. I recently pulled that issue out of the longbox to get Mark Bagley so sign it and it kind of dawned on me that it’s kind of a silly cover and it is for sure annoying to try and get in and out of a bag. Oh the 90’s.
