Very big annual, but I like it. There's a big 41 page sinister six story, which wasn't perfect, but it's still cool. Also I liked the gallery of most famous Spider-Man's foes, but the title is a crap... It is literally all of the spider-man's foes, not most famous. Guys, they even made a page for the burglar, that killed uncle Ben... And if the showcase of all spidey's powers was boring, but useful, then "Supporting Cast Pin-Ups" were boring and pointless. But the final story about the creation of Spider-Man was funny. Maybe even hilarious... To conclude, it isn't a masterpiece, but this comic was the greatest spider-man book at that time. Every fan must check it out.

This is a big, beefy comic and I have almost no time to write a review for it, as I'm comically behind once again. I think the story here is big and fun, but it feels like the most obvious choice. Another thing, I'm so used to being able to follow villain appearances in these early comics because they always explained where the villains were and how they came back. None of that is here. We go from Kraven going to the Congo (in South America, somehow) to him being right back in New York. It's less congruent than I'm used to. I don't usually bring up the art much, because I usually don't have much to say, but this annual is filled with huge one page splashes and pin-ups, and they're fucking great. And not just because they eat up the pa ge count that I'm so desperately watching with each turn of the page! They're really well done and I love that they did those. Something that kind of got on my nerves was the cameos. I understand why they were done, but it really became trite after the second one. They just felt so out of place and shoehorned in. Honestly, the best part of this annual is only technically Spidey-related. The backup of how Stan Lee and Steve Ditko create Spider-Man is very funny, and very self aware. Especially as the controversies of who deserves what credit for which things continue to rage on. I liked this annual. It wasn't the best story, but it was a lot of fun.
