PART THIRTEEN OF SPIDER-MAN COMICS WEEKLY COVER GALLERY...

I reckon we're long overdue for yet another instalment of SPIDER-MAN COMICS WEEKLY cover gallery, so here are another five issues from 1973 for you to drool over.  Number 47 was the final paper-covered copy of SMCW, as it switched to a glossy cover with the next edition.  And now the bad news: I don't have every single copy of the comic that was ever published, so therefore I can't feature them on the blog.  However, I do have various issues from its glossy-covered run, which I'll post from time to time as I remember where I put them - so that's something for you to look forward to (I hope) at least.

Anyway, that's enough waffle from me, enjoy the images ahead.

PART NINETEEN Of MIGHTY MARVEL COVER GALLERY...

A shorter than usual MIGHTY WORLD Of MARVEL cover gallery this time around, I'm afraid.  That's because I need to scan some more issues before I can present them for your eager appreciation, which I intend do to at the earliest opportunity.  Number 53 was the first birthday issue, while #54 was the last issue to have 40 pages, reducing to a meagre 32 with the very next edition.

Sadly, the best days of MWOM were behind it (although it made a slight recovery around '74 or '75), so savour these images from a time when the title yet retained a glimmer of the Mighty Marvel Magic it had once contained in abundance.
