I’ve finally snapped and put my Amazing Spider-Man 300 and 298 up for sale.  Todd McFarlane’s first Spider-Man books!  The interesting thing about 298 is that you can see his work is a little more subdued, but by 300 the gloves are pretty much off.  

eBay auction here.  I’m trying not to be sad and nostalgic about them! 

Relevance; check out that back cover.  This one is second only to the Metal Gear advertisement as far as favourites go.
