I am interested in filling in the notes column of this list, to suggest a story's flavor or import in the Spider canon, to help readers (like me) choose what to buy, or what to buy first, as they face the daunting and expensive prospect of collecting all of the Spider's exploits.
Please e-mail me with any suggestions for, or corrections to, my list: at cdkalb@aol.com
