060 - Spider-Man & the Sinister Six

It’s a tale as old as time. Or the 60’s, really. Spider-Man’s villains all team up to fight him. They call themselves the Sinister Six because it sounds cool (alliteration is ALWAYS cool). Then they have a million reunions because Spider-Man’s not dead yet and why not? We read the first two incarnations of the SS in Amazing Spider-Man Annual #1 and then in issues #334-339. Come for the rogues’ gallery, stay for Aunt May and Doc Ock flirting. Next time: The Tick!
