Marvel Tales Spider-Man

[The Toyroom]

Well I started my new project of buying old Marvel Tales back issues for a quick cheap fix of classic Spider-Man instead of the current train-wreck of a book. Picked up Marvel Tales #35-37, which reprints Amazing Spider-Man #50-52, for a total of $8. Not too bad IMO. See Spidey take on Kraven! The Vulture! The Kingpin! With scripts by Stan (The Man) Lee and art by John (Ring-A-Ding Romita)! I've enjoyed these 3 issues more than I have of Spidey's current rag of a mag in a looooong time!

Good haul....I really wanted to see Kraven, Vulture and Mysterio in one of the movies....would have been nice if Bruce Campbells multiple cameos were shown to be him as mysterio or the chameleon controlling Spideys life ...oh well...maybe in the 4th or 5th movie.
I love these "classic" Spidey villains and the older stories...especially "Ditko's" run.It was great that they collected "Kraven's Last Hunt" in hardback recently...that is one of the all time great Spidey stories.

I'm working my way through a box full of Spiderman Weekly (with Cap Britain), the British comics from 1970's
I got 140ish issues for £12 delivered.
I love all the old artwork I even like all the old adverts on the backs (Top Trumps, A batglider, Lightsaber etc)...brings back memorys.

Was that Raimi's intention? Holy Crap that would be brilliant. I would love to see Campbell as Mysterio or Chameleon. Chameleon and Kraven would be an obvious pairing (they are related aren't they?).

Of course Dylan Baker's role as Curt Conners in two movies still hasn't produced a Lizard appearance.

If it was Raimi's intention he never mentioned it, it's just something I wished would happen. Curt Conners was the other waste of a great, great oppertunity.

I believe they're half-brothers...and Chameleon was the one that 1st brought Kraven to the U.S. to tackle Spidey.

Paul Jenkins had an interesting and moody storyline involving the Chameleon's suicide in the wake of Kraven's.

I always like The Chameleon.

If Bruce Campbell were the Chameleon, it would make some interesting metatextual implications given the fact that he's also been Dark Man! Of course I loved the fact that Dark Man met Ash from Evil Dead in a recent comic book crossover.

The nice thing about MARVEL TALES is you can get reprints of AMAZING FANATASY#15 thru AMAZING SPIDERMAN #159 in great shape for around 200 bucks
