[Craig · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a nice collection of three classic Spider-Man team-up adventures. It features a run-in (get it?) with Quicksilver by Stan Lee illustrated by Johnny Romita (the original, I presume), a journey into "The Wondrous World of Dr. Strange" written by Lee and illustrated by Steve Ditko, and an encounter with The Incredible Hulk written by Len Wein and illustrated by Jim Mooney. Peter has hooked-up (pardon me, I mean teamed-up) with virtually every Marvel character at one time or another, but this trio is among the best of the early adventures. It appeared in mass-market paperback format (before graphic novels or the internet was a thing, 'natch), but they printed it in full-color and dispersed the panels onto more pages so it can be easily read. Fun stuff for the Mighty Marvel Marching Society. Irving Forbush would never steer you wrong. Excelsior!
