DescriptionI thought I was never going to get a Byrne page for Amazing Spider-Man considering that this author only drew 4 issues (including AS annual #13 along with AS#189-190 and AS#206). Thanks to my good friend Toni S. I have fulfilled this dream on a special day, and now I have one less hole to fill in my collection. It's not long now...Amazing Spider-Man #190, Page 6. Art by: Keith Pollard and Al Milgrom Release Date: December 5, 1978 Cover Date: March, 1979 Appearing in "In Search of the Man-Wolf" Writer(s): Marv Wolfman Penciler(s): John Byrne Inker(s): Jim Mooney Colorist(s): Michele Wolfman Letterer(s): Jim Novak Editor(s): Marv Wolfman Synopsis for "In Search of the Man-Wolf" The Man-Wolf has been sent to capture J. Jonah Jameson, and Spider-Man was unable to stop him. Recovering from a blow, Spidey goes after the Man-Wolf. While over in Westchester, the mystery villain trying to kill both Spider-Man and Jameson turns out to be Spencer Smythe. Smythe is dying due to years of exposure to the various radioactive isotopes used to build the various Spider-Slayer robots that he built for Jameson. Blaming Jameson for his terminal health condition, he has orchestrated this whole event as a means to get revenge against Jameson, and to succeed at what he always failed to do: destroy Spider-Man. Back in the city, Spider-Man causes the Man-Wolf and Jameson to crash into a car show, where Spider-Man tries to take the Man-Wolf down and Jameson attempts to talk sense into his transformed son. During the fight, Jameson picks up a pistol that was pulled out of the hands off a security guard at the auto show. He is grabbed once more by the Man-Wolf who tries to flee and Spider-Man and the Man-Wolf end up fighting in the streets. Meanwhile, at the offices of the Daily Globe, a rival New York newspaper, it's owner K.J. Clayton demands that the editor Barney Buskin try to find a way to hire Peter Parker on as one of their photographers. While back on the streets, Jameson decides contemplates shooting his son, but can't bring himself to it when the Man-Wolf approaches and recaptures him. Taking Jonah to the Brooklyn Bridge, whereupon Smythe's commands -- the Man-Wolf intends to throw Jameson into the water below. Spider-Man arrives on the bridge just as Jameson manages to get through to John's subconscious mind. As Spider-Man fights the Man-Wolf, the creature reverts back to John Jameson. Furious over another failure, Smyth activates his ace in the hole: A bomb implanted inside John Jameson, that will kill his pawn. This causes John to recoil in pain and fall of the bridge. Spider-Man goes after him and manages to grab John and save him from the deadly fall. However, John figures that there is nothing to do to save himself, and tells Spider-Man to tell his father that he loves him before letting go. Spider-Man watches in horror as John plunges to the water below, but disappears in a flash before he impacts with the water. When Spider-Man tries to explain what happened to John to his father, J. Jonah Jameson refuses to believe it, figuring that Spider-Man let his son die as some vendetta against the publisher, and demands that the "murderer" leave him alone. Social/Sharing |

Fantastic Amazing Spider-Man page by John Byrne! Byrne's run on ASM was very short, but it was filled with lots of action, adventure and wisecracks. This page has fun showing Spider-Man battling Man-Wolf at an auto show with J Jonah Jameson in attendence! Could you squeeze more action in one page? I think not. This is an intense, no-holds-barred, battle for the ages! Great pick-up, congrats!

Very underrated issues as collectors probably weren't as aware of how many titles Byrne worked on as X-Men didn't come out monthly. Great Byrne touches of anatomy and the house style Mooney brought for a big action page.
