“That’s what I really waaaaaaant. Some avengiiiiin’.”

In this season of the Amazing Spider-Talk, Dan and Mark are going back to the mid-80s when the Amazing Spider-Man title was handed over to one of the most legendary creative pairings in comics, who were just starting their creative partnership: Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz. It was a time of immense change in the comics industry but together Tom and Ron returned Spider-Man to its Ditko-inspired roots to create one of the most beloved runs on the title.

Don’t be mistaken though, because on this episode we are going to be talking about more Spider-Man stories by Roger Stern. No, this isn’t a flashback to last season, we are going to be talking about Spider-Man’s time joining up with the Avengers during Roger Stern’s run on that title, and again asking the question, “Is it time for Spider-Man to join the Avengers?”

To read along with this episode, check out Avengers #236 and #237.
