New Releases by Al Milgrom

Visionary creator Al Milgrom writes - and draws - Spider-Man''s second ongoing series in the leadup to its historic 100th issue!

Yup, it''s just another day for Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man! Writer/artist Al Milgrom spins a series of wonderful web-slinging adventures in the run up to Spectacular Spider-Man #100. He introduces new villains in the Lee/Ditko mold like the Answer and the Spot and (literally) resurrects classic characters like Silvermane as killer cyborg!

Nei fumetti, Wanda non creò una realtà a Westview dove lei e Visione potessero vivere una pacifica vita “normale”, ma lei e il marito si trasferirono a Leonia nel New Jersey.

E questo non è che un assaggio di quel che leggerete in questo volume inedito in Italia scritto da Steve Englehart (Captain America, Batman) e disegnato da Richard Howell (All-Star Squadron) e Al Milgrom (Secret Wars II).
