Review
Yet another dull double bill of Spiderman and Fury, this despite the pedigree of writer Archie Goodwin and Frank Springer on inking duties. The story is unimaginatively recycled from NF:AOS #7 and doesn't even offer the satisfaction of an in-joke (what, they thought we wouldn't notice?!) The art starts off adequate but soon degenerates with smaller and smaller panels that seem really rushed and lack great detail. Not worth reading.
