Amazing Spider-Man (Vol 1 1963) Issues 101-150
During the run of Amazing Spider-Man issues 101-150 (1972-1975), the series experienced notable transitions with writers Roy Thomas & later Gerry Conway. Thomas introduced supernatural elements with characters like Morbius, broadening the scope of Spider-Man's challenges. Conway, taking over, significantly deepened the emotional landscape with the landmark 'Death of Gwen Stacy', profoundly influencing Spider-Man's narrative and Marvel's storytelling approach. Artistically, John Romita Sr.'s influential style continued to shape the visual identity of the series, and he was joined by artists Gil Kane & Ross Andru, whose distinct styles added vibrancy & a dynamic aesthetic.
