    What happened to hard fights with villains?

    This annual is an alright kinda thang, but I personally think that what it needs is MORE FIGHTS!!! I mean like, in most other issues with villains you'd think they'd be smart enough to not have their plans backfire-able. For example, Vulture has to be fairly smart to have created his flying harness, yet when he fights Spidey he get thrashed! And last time I looked, Sandman would have had enough brains not to make his "cell" air tight. Apart from the villains being less smart than usual, it isn't a bad issue though. I reckon the bit about Spider-Man's powers isn't bad, (even if in Annual #4 they claim the type of web he uses changes according to how he presses the button, contradicting this issue) and the "How Stan and Steve Create Spidey" is good for a few laughs. But still, it needs villains with BRAINS! THOSE THINGS EVERYONE BUT RHINO HAS!!!

      Possibly the greatest Annual of them all! Not only does Spidey have to face 6 of his most dangerous opponents, but he comes accross a whole array of guest stars on his way to doing so in this 41 page epic. I guess some sort of morality still existed among the villains of the day as they decide to attack Spidey one by one instead of all at once. The cameo appearances by the whole range of Marvel heroes allowed Stan to point out to the reader where the characters could be found every month (or 2 m...
