- l***o (7)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe book arrived in excellent and timely condition. Everything about it right down to the feel of the paper is a pulp-lover's dream. imho the book perfectly recreates the wonder of opening 1 of The Spider's fire-fueled classic 2-fisted adventures. Alex Ross-like illustrations perfectly set the tone for the knuckle-clenching nail-biting pulse-pounding action that follows.1 major criticism is use among the back-page title-adverts of an undoubtably racist yellow peril feature Mysterious Wu Fang.
