It’s my birthday! As such, I thought it would be fun to check out some of the comics released during the month I was born, and went to Mike’s Amazing World of Comics<\/a> to pick out an assortment DC and Marvel books to discover what was happening in comics in August of 1980.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a better look at the Spider-Man books, Andy Leyland covered the Amazing Spider-Man issue, and the 3 subsequent issues, in the 44th<\/a> episode of Amazing Spider-Man From the Beginning, and in the 158th<\/a> episode of Palace of Glittering Delights (same episode, different packaging)! Plus, he covers the Peter Parker issue, and surrounding issues, in episode 225<\/a> of Palace of Glittering Delights!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
