However, I tended to enjoy them very much--they were the logical next steps evolution-wise and given the climate of the times. And the art was great--Gil Kane and John Romita, whether solo or together, made those stories come alive. <br /><br />In fact, I think it was the period just before this, circa 1969, that was truly the first weak period in <i>Amazing Spider-Man</i> history. Jim Mooney's and John Buscema's artistry--although good--just did not match the Spidey mystique. This was particularly true in regards to the 'civilian' out-of-costume scenes. The personal lives of Peter, Gwen, Harry, Aunt May, etc no longer came alive on the page.R. W.
