Al Milgrom – författare

Spider-Man's adventures have been larger than life, but they spring from the rotten roots of street crime and Uncle Ben's murder by a petty burglar. Now, that gritty side of the criminal world takes the fore, as the Kingpin tightens his grip on New York City! And for Spidey, the would-be heroes are causing as much trouble as the villains. Cloak and Dagger complicate matters…and the Punisher has his own form of justice in mind! Meanwhile, Mantlo and Milgrom explore the man with ink on his fingers and a story in his blood, J. Jonah Jameson, and reveal the origins of the Hobgoblin! And speaking of revelations, Peter Parker unmasks himself to the Black Cat - with unexpected results! Plus: Black Cat's search for super-powers, Spidey's black costume…and the art of Fred Hembeck! Collecting PETER PARKER, THE SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN (1976) #80-91.

The 1980s were a booming period for Earth's Mightiest Heroes, leading to one of the most beloved spinoff series of all time with the new West Coast team of Avengers!In the 1980s, Earth’s Mightiest Heroes expanded their ranks and their range, founding the West Coast Avengers. The roster of Hawkeye, Iron Man, Wonder Man, Mockingbird and Tigra meant that the team was stocked with powerhouses and fan-favorites alike. Marvel welcomed back one of the greatest Avengers writers of all-time to steer their adventures: Steve Englehart. Along with Al Milgrom and Joe Sinnott on art, he wove a massive series debut that brought in arguably his signature characters — Vision and the Scarlet Witch — in a crossover story that plumbs the origins of Wonder Man and the Vision. Ultron also returns, but this new iteration of the iconic villain has a distinctly different disposition.
