Amazing Spider-Man #47: "In the Hands of the Hunter"



....Despite its narrative flaws, which are massive, “In the Hands of the Hunter” is a highpoint of the Stan Lee era, and therefore of American superhero comics in general. It’s the first issue since the reboot that I could honestly say I had fun reading....

"...This is not pro-Lee or anti-Romita. I am not a Disney shill or a groomer. It is not a moral attack on the integrity of Herman Melville to say that his idea of Moby Dick changes as the book goes along. It is not a personal slight on John Steinbeck to point out that The Grapes of Wrath contains both narrative and non-fiction essays. We are simply trying to describe what the texts are like...."
