We interrupt our series of birthday posts for today's Comics Corner!
Title: The Amazing Spider-Man
Issue Number: 200
Release Date: January 1980
Before we start, this worked out great! I'm not sure how, it certainly wasn't planned on my part. Here we are, celebrating my birthday, while reading the centennial issue of The Amazing Spider-Man. Not only that, but looking at the cover, it's January 1980, making it the first issue in the series to ring in the new decade.
I personally have fond childhood memories of this comic. It was the issue my dad bought for me on a whim, without me knowing, while we were at a comic book convention in the 90's. The reason this meant so much was that he didn't often gift me with things. It was truly a special occasion, and meant a lot to me.
Good stuff! Let's dig in!
