[Kieran Westphal · Rating 3 out of 5]

much of the appeal for this book comes from how niche its material is. the children's magazines these stories were originally contained within are in a weird middle territory for comics, not distributed like comic books or considered collectors items, so never appearing in comic shops among the hundreds of issues of Whatever Adjective Spider-Man. For the most part, this makes sense. Most of these stories aren't worth seeking out on their own, unlike their direct market counterparts they're targeted specifically at children, and the effort that went into crafting a lot of the dialogue and art feels a lot cheaper. However, there is a lot of lesser known Marie Severin art here, as well as a very sweet story where Spider-Man saves Christmas for a single unemployed mother and her son. There are a few hidden gems to make this collection worthwhile, and if you're a fan like me it's just nice to have this weird piece of Spider-History (and that Marvel decided it was worth reprinting!).

If I was a kid and read this, I’d love this little book.

For younger readers. Spider-Man meets Scooby Doo meets the Broons and Bazooka Joe.
