Actually, it was the Lee/Ditko Spidey tales that were being reprinted around this time, but they continued straight on into the Romita ones without a pause.

Loved it then, love it now. <br /><br />I think I've said it here before, Kid, but when I first began properly reading and collecting American comics, John Byrne was writing and drawing the FF, Walt Simonson was doing the same on Thor, Daredevil: Born Again was being published, Chris Claremont was writing the X-Men, Marvel Tales were reprinting Lee and Romita Spider-Man yarns and Stern, Buscema and Palmer were giving us the Avengers: Under Siege- a real highpoint of quality in Marvel's history.<br /><br />Is it any wonder I got hooked on comics?Dave Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10562199843047738071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-38365441030145275672018-09-27T15:17:39.824+01:002018-09-27T15:17:39.824+01:00I suppose it depends who's inking him, but I n...I suppose it depends who's inking him, but I noticed that, just like, Kirby, his figures seemed to be getting shorter and wider.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-49757163504704171322018-09-27T14:55:22.706+01:002018-09-27T14:55:22.706+01:00A few years ago I saw some of Byrne's recent w...A few years ago I saw some of Byrne's recent work and it was unrecognizable from his X-Men/FF days!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-8634545589332912132018-09-27T13:32:33.416+01:002018-09-27T13:32:33.416+01:00I hear that JB is returning to Marvel, CJ.
