As for the Spider-Man inserts, much as I love Ditko Spider-Man, I’m kinda dubious about the choice to reprint these stories myself, given the outdated astronaut references in one story and, as Doug notes, the vast difference between these comics and what’s coming out now. Maybe old Roger Stern-penned issues mighta been a good compromise? Nothing too adult for the kiddies, but still closer to what you’d see today.

That said, I could care less that they’re flimsy; in fact, I like it because it probably eliminates the possibility of any collectible value whatsover. And I do love sitting down with my 2-year-old to read them every Sunday for the two minutes that he’ll let me do it (he’s more of a Curious George fan at this point).
