March 1972. Forty years ago today.

Barely does the year seem to have started than we're into March already. March, of course, was named after the Roman God of War. I wonder if this means we might see our favourite heroes celebrating his month by indulging in a spot of fisticuffs?

Naughty old Professor Smythe's cunning plan to unmask our hero rumbles on.

Despite the title, no spiders were squashed during the making of this epic.

The Kree/Skrull War reaches its conclusion, as Rick Jones gets the super-powers that are rightfully mine

I don't recall anything about the contents of this story but my razor-sharp instincts tell me Captain America probably unmasks the Supreme Hydra.

My money's on it being either the Red Skull or Sharon Carter.

Conan meets Elric of Wotsit.

I read this in Essential Conan, a few years back but, from what I recall, I'm not sure the combination worked too well.

No such problems with this one as Galactus' latest herald shows up to give the Fantastic Four some grief.

One of my Hulk faves, when the green giant finds himself up against one of the High Evolutionary's cast-offs.

But just what is The Inheritor's secret?

Mangog's back, as John Romita gives us a suitably dramatic cover.

I have no idea what happens in this tale but I do know I wrote a post about its cover once.

And here it is.
