Reunited With Comics Past

By Mark Ginocchio

October 15, 2018Remembrance of Comics PastNo comments

It’s been more than 7 years since I first wrote my story about Amazing Spider-Man #300 — a comic that most who have followed my exploits in comic book writing and podcasting over the years will quickly note is an incredibly important piece of my childhood. The original story

Remembrance of Comics Past (Super Blog Team-Up Edition): Amazing Spider-Man #393

By Mark Ginocchio

May 23, 2018Remembrance of Comics Past5 Comments

As we enter this period “Reign of the Super Blog Team-Up,” I’ve found myself pondering over all of the fits and starts my quest to collect every issue of Amazing Spider-Man experienced. Collecting nearly 800 issues of one comic book series was never a truly linear quest. It probably

Remembrance of Comics Past: Amazing Spider-Man #223

By Mark Ginocchio

June 22, 2017Remembrance of Comics Past2 Comments

To most observers and Spider-Man fans, Amazing Spider-Man #223 is the quintessential “forgettable” issue. It marks the final installment of the lame duck Denny O’Neil-era on the book and O’Neil didn’t even script his plot, instead leaving it to a fill-in writer, J.M. DeMatteis (who was still a few

The world of negotiating is filled with so many pearls of wisdom that even the biggest cynic would readily admit some are tried and true and impossible to argue with. But sounding good and right on paper versus actually following through and adhering to that advice can sometimes be a slippery

Remembrance of Comics Past: Amazing Spider-Man #225

By Mark Ginocchio

April 26, 2017Remembrance of Comics Past2 Comments

In the world of internet writing, the currency we operate in is clichés. How about this one, “Don’t cry over spilt milk.” I mean, seriously, is there anything more tragic than spilling milk or crying over it? Or how about “Selling like Hotcakes.” If memory serves, I spent an

Remembrance of Comics Past: Amazing Spider-Man #154

By Mark Ginocchio

April 10, 2017Remembrance of Comics Past2 Comments

For me, Amazing Spider-Man #154 stinks. No, that’s not a critique about the quality of the Len Wein/Sal Buscema story (though seriously, that costume they picked out for Sandman during the 1970s was absolutely hideous). Nor is it really a comment on the overall condition of the comic (though

Remembrance of Comics Past: Amazing Spider-Man #64

By Mark Ginocchio

March 23, 2017Remembrance of Comics Past1 Comment

Going all the way back to some of the posts I’ve written about the very first Spider-Man comic I ever purchased (Amazing Spider-Man #296), I’ve alluded to the fact that one of the things that fascinated me as a kid about comics was the sequential numbering system of each

By Mark Ginocchio

January 4, 2016Guest BlogsNo comments

In typical Chasing Amazing fashion, I’ve neglected to update all of you of my writing on SuperiorSpiderTalk.com over the past few weeks. I recently wrapped-up my “Lost Gems” feature that looked back on underrated Spider-Man stories. Here are some of those posts: “Thin Air” (The Pulse #1-5) “Keemia’s Castle”
